HOME by Chef Wayan

Food was super good. Well balance of flavours, textures and spice. Our best meal in Bali. There were 4 of us who order the 5 course chef selection. For each course at our table, we had 2 dishes offered. So we got to try 9 dishes in all (1 was the skewer platter). Everything was on point. The meat were tender and juicy, the vegetables fresh with different flavours from the herbs & spices. Unfortunately, we are heading home the next day. Otherwise we will definitely have more meals here.

I love how homely this restaurant felt. While the dishes are presented fine dining style, the overall atmosphere is warm & friendly. Their duck & octopus are well executed, tender & flavourful and definitely on my "must order" list. The owner managed to help us get a seat on a busy night but I'd recommend making a reservation just to secure your table.

We LOVE HOME by Chef Wayan and it was truly special! Their revamped space is cosy and elegant, with wooden interiors and navy accents reflecting ocean-inspired cuisine. The Pomelo Salad and Ledok Nusa were delicious, while the Seafood Seraten and Bebek Se’i showcased bold Balinese flavours with modern techniques. Each dish was a heartfelt tribute to Balinese heritage. A must-visit for comfort, flavour, and connection in Pererenan!

At HOME by Chef Wayan, you will experience local cuisine fine dining in a homey atmosphere. Chef Wayan really brings traditional cuisine to the next level. Starting from the plating to the taste. Rich in spices but not too much, just the right amount. I was there with a group of friends and tried 8 different dishes, all of them are delicious. I loved all the dishes but I highly recommend the udang bakar, bebek se’i, babi bali and ayam serosop. For the dessert, my favourite is bubur sumsum. The service’s also amazing, the owner also super friendly and he makes sure that we’re well served. I will definitely come and visit this restaurant again.

If i can put more than 5 stars, i would do that!!! Arrgh the octopus is mind blowing. feeling so proud to see Indonesian food in their menu being top notch of the flavour. I cant say much, you must go and try!!!

One of the few spots focusing on highlighting Balinese traditions in this unique way. Gado Gado, eggplant and chicken were stunning. Owner Mary was very accommodating and definitely made us feel at “home” would recommend for anyone looking for good food done well, without the snobby atmosphere.

Home by Chef Wayan serves meals that are as beautiful as they are delicious. My dish was an artful symphony of traditional Balinese flavors with a touch of modern innovation. The tender, perfectly cooked meat was complemented by a rich, savory sauce. A vibrant salad brought freshness, while zesty lime added the perfect touch of brightness. Even the side vegetables were expertly prepared, showcasing their natural sweetness with a hint of enticing smokiness. If you want to experience the essence of Balinese cuisine, a meal at Home by Chef Wayan is an absolute must.
