Book NowAbout Green Melon Warung
Tucked along the Amed coastline, Green Melon Warung turns out homestyle Balinese dishes and fresh coastal seafood cooked directly over glowing charcoal. Running just twenty seats with an open-air balcony facing the water, this family-run kitchen operates with unhurried care. Diners line up for fragrant pepes ikan steamed in banana leaves, crisp vegetable spring rolls, and charred seafood platters paired with fresh sambal. For an authentic local twist, the hosts even coordinate morning fishing trips on traditional jukung boats and grill your fresh tuna catch over the coals that evening. Coconut water comes hacked straight from backyard palms, washed down alongside house ginger tea sweetened with honey.
- Charcoal-Grilled Homestyle Cooking: Dishes like pepes ikan, sate lilit, and seafood platters are cooked over open charcoal in a small 20-seat open-air kitchen.
- Catch-and-Cook Service: Guests can arrange morning boat excursions and bring their fresh ocean catch back to be seasoned and grilled for dinner.
- Laid-Back Ocean Breeze Setting: An intimate open-air dining porch catches coastal breezes, paired with whole coconuts cut right from backyard trees.

Furthermore i arranged a fishing trip there with my son which was an unforgettable experience. They organised the transportation to the captain (3:30 am) and made sure we had life vests. We catched many Mahi Mahi's and to top it off our fresh fish was prepared the same night in 2 different dishes
