About warung dodo

Fresh morning tuna transforms into fiery rendang at this seaside Amed warung run by Putu and Ilu. Regulars come for the scratch-ground yellow sauce fish, lingering as Putu pulls out an acoustic guitar to sing with dinner guests. You might even catch Ilu grinding spice pastes before teaching an impromptu morning cooking class.

  • Daily Fresh Catch: Morning-caught tuna and reef fish get simmered in spicy rendang or smothered in scratch-made yellow spice sauce.
  • Live Acoustic Sessions: Evenings regularly wind down with Putu strumming an acoustic guitar and singing alongside seated diners.
  • Hands-On Cooking Classes: Hands-on sessions walk guests through traditional Balinese spice grinding and authentic home recipes.
