Book NowAbout Warung Bali 9
Tucked away on a quiet residential lane in Lovina, this four-table family warung trades commercial speed for genuine Balinese home cooking made strictly from scratch. Guests settle onto the modest patio while the owners fire up pans upstairs—sometimes even hopping on a scooter to source ingredients mid-order. While you wait, browse the collection of handwritten guestbooks dating back to 2002, filled with travel notes from around the globe. Plates arrive piping hot and generous, from rich nasi goreng to sprawling platters of rijsttafel paired with fresh fruit juices.
- Made-to-order cooking: Dishes are prepared individually from scratch by the family owners, resulting in deliberate, unhurried pacing.
- Historical guestbooks: Diners at the four tables can flip through decades of handwritten traveler journals dating back to 2002.

Fresh Home Cooking Cooked to Order
Dishes are not pre-made or ladled from a buffet counter; the family prepares every order individually from scratch, delivering fresh and comforting traditional Balinese fare.

Alexandra Ackermann Peaceful Haven Away from Tourist Hubs
Tucked away on a peaceful residential street away from tourist crowds, the intimate warung offers a relaxing hideaway with only a handful of tables.
It’s not a big restaurant with a lot of waiters calling for you. It’s authentic, simple, the food is delicious and affordable. The place, the staff and their dog are peaceful and adorable.
