About Warung Forest

Perched up a quiet forest track in Nusa Penida, this family-run warung cooks Balinese home recipes from scratch alongside daily catches from the sea. Guests know to settle in while Wayan’s kitchen works to order—expect a genuine 30-to-60-minute stretch that trades quick service for honest care. Daily menus pivot around whatever the family hauls in, from tender grilled octopus to local reef fish, rounded out by chicken nyat nyat and cold pressed mango juice. Between pans hitting the burner, Wayan shares island stories and family temple grounds, letting lunch stretch easily under the trees.

  • Daily ocean catch: Dishes rely on whatever seafood the family pulls from the ocean each day, pairing grilled octopus and reef fish with village ingredients.
  • Cooked fresh to order: Every meal is prepared to order from scratch, letting guests unwind under the trees during an unhurried 30-to-60-minute wait.
  • Balinese village hospitality: Host Wayan guides diners through island life, offering personal travel advice and visits through the family temple grounds.
