About Wayan's Warung

This roadside Amed spot lures divers and travelers off the asphalt with the wood-smoke perfume of its outdoor charcoal grill. Follow the aroma past the entrance to the quiet back seating area away from road noise. Diners head here for the day’s coastal haul—from barracuda and mahi-mahi to wahoo—grilled to order alongside local pepes ikan steamed in banana leaves. Owner Wayan chats easily with guests between orders, dishing out regional diving tips while passing around fresh juices and cold beer.

  • Wood-Grilled Fresh Catch: Daily catches like barracuda, mahi-mahi, and wahoo grilled to order over open wood coals.
  • Quiet Rear Dining Space: Tables tucked away from street traffic offer a tranquil retreat after diving trips.
  • Attentive Local Hosting: Hands-on hospitality with custom menu requests, local advice, and chilled drinks.

  • Daily Diverse Catch Grilled to Order

    Rather than serving generic white fish, Wayan's offers varied daily ocean catches including barracuda, wahoo, and mahi-mahi prepared over heat.

    The warung features a peaceful seating space positioned well away from street traffic, ideal for relaxing after coastal activities.
