Why Dine at Warung Jembung Bali

Authentic Balinese comfort food, breezy rice field views, and genuine hospitality in Kerobokan

  • Freshly Cooked Indonesian Staples at Warung Prices

    Guests enjoy freshly prepared Balinese staples such as betutu chicken, pork ribs, and mie bakso cooked to order at accessible warung pricing.

    I love how everything is made to order, fresh and hot too!

  • Budget-Friendly Alternative to Resort Dining

    Visitors staying nearby make it their dependable everyday canteen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner rather than overpaying at resort hotel restaurants.

    This should be a must visit for anyone in the Seminyak area who wants great food and service at amazingly reasonable prices.

  • Airy Rice Field Setting with Natural Breezes

    Positioned along an open-air rice paddy, the dining pavilion captures cooling breezes that offer natural respite from Bali's daytime heat.

    The breeze flows right through the seating and provides some relief from the heat.

  • A Quiet Oasis Tucked Away from the Bustle

    A tucked-away garden atmosphere complete with fish ponds, frogs, and lantern lighting creates an unhurried sanctuary just off the busy streets.

    A beautiful little oasis, with frogs and little lizards (at night time) and a gorgeous view of rice field.

  • Relaxed Traditional Cross-Legged Dining and Garden Features

    Low cross-legged seating, decorative murals, and garden features like feeding the fish create an engaging, laid-back Balinese atmosphere.

    And a nice laid back atmosphere, plus they let you feed the fish if that's your thing
