About Warung Mewali

Steps from the water in Amed, this family-run warung serves daily local catches right on the sand after hours spent diving along the reef. Ocean swells set an unhurried tempo—fresh fish arrives straight off the coals with Balinese sambal, and swimmers rinse off at the outdoor beach shower before dinner. Longtime regulars lean toward spicy palm-spirit pours like the Raw Jack Arak as the sky turns orange, ending simply with warm, rolled dadar gulung stuffed with grated coconut.

  • Daily beachfront catch: Fresh catches like grilled barracuda prepared to order right on the sand with house sauces.
  • Arak cocktail list: Locally distilled palm spirit mixed into drinks like the spicy Raw Jack or Guava Mewali.
  • Diver-ready beach rinse: Convenient outdoor shower available to rinse off after reef swims or muck dives.

  • Local Palm Arak Cocktails

    Artisanal cocktails crafted with local Balinese palm alcohol, including Raw Jack Arak and Cocktail Mewali, elevate the coastal drink experience.

    Highly recommend trying their Arak drink, a palm tree alcohol - the Raw Jack Arak was my favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the wait for food?

Dishes are cooked fresh to order one by one, which can mean a notable wait during busy periods. Visitors recommend settling into the slower pace or visiting when you have time to relax.

What are the most popular menu items to order?

Guests frequently order the fresh catch of the day (such as barracuda or grilled prawns), Balinese staples like nasi goreng and fish curry, as well as chicken cordon bleu and chicken saté. Dadar gulung is popular for dessert.

What is the beachfront seating like?

The warung features beachfront seating right on the sand with ocean views. While daytime seating directly on the sand lacks umbrellas and can get warm under the sun, afternoons, sunsets, and dinner hours offer cooler, relaxing conditions.

Can you rinse off after diving or swimming?

Yes. Warung Mewali provides an outdoor shower by the beach so guests can easily rinse off after swimming or diving before enjoying their meal.
