Experience a stylish date night at Wayan, where Indonesian flavors meet French finesse, complemented by vibrant ambiance and attentive service.
"Wayan is one of the only Indonesian restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide in America. It celebrates Indonesian cuisine with a modern French flair. Chef and co-owner Cédric Vongerichten, alongside his wife Ochi, brings a Balinese oasis to a fast-paced New York environment, offering dishes that highlight the diverse culinary heritage of Indonesia with a touch of French influence." - Michael He
"The landscaped garden is a fine setting for the Instagram-worthy creations of Cedric Vongerichten. Starters include cucumber mango salad, fluke sashimi with ginger turmeric dressing; and beet and avocado salad. Among the entrees there’s butterfish with miso and cippolini onions, as well as charred chicken with tatsoi and Thai basil." - Beth Landman
"This French Indonesian restaurant has been holding things down in Nolita since 2019, drawing crowds for its east-meets-west menu and dining room that Eater once called “dark and sexy.” No surprise here, but the outdoor setup is just as stunning: There are potted plants, patterned wallpaper, and decorative lanterns. And yes, it’s tented and heated." - Eater Staff
"This enticing Indonesian restaurant, brought to you by Chef/co-owner Cédric Vongerichten boasts a modern French flair. Located in ever-fashionable SoHo, the long and sleek restaurant is a riot for the senses, thanks to a lush, exotic décor filled with candles, pillows, live plants, and warm teak paneling." - MICHELIN Guide
"The next generation of Vongerichtens, including Ochi, a Jakarta native involved in everything from menu development to tableware, and her chef-husband Cédric, run a top-notch addition to the contemporary Southeast Asian scene at their Indonesian restaurant, balancing flavors with aplomb. The name means first-born, with its smaller sibling, Ma-Dé, now open two doors down." - Eater Staff
