Hidden amongst the quiet corner of Pererenan, Canggu, HOME by Chef Wayan is a charming little restaurant serving Balinese and Indonesian dishes in a warm and authentic home-style. Behind the warm wooden doors, you'll find a minimalist, chic dining room, blended with the friendly and welcoming vibe of a tropical home. Chef Wayan, who has spent years in five-star kitchens, has designed each menu as a modern interpretation of the archipelago's cuisine: artistic plating, carefully selected local ingredients, and contemporary cooking techniques that remain respectful of the original flavors.

Our experts’ experience from HOME by Chef Wayan

Reservation

Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner. This can be done via WhatsApp or Instagram. Walk-ins are welcome, but keep in mind that their seats are limited.

Parking

There is a small parking area in front of the restaurant, enough for motorbikes and a few cars. But, since the surrounding streets are quite narrow, we recommend coming by motorcycle or an online taxi.

Service

Their service team is super friendly and informative, with in-depth knowledge of the menu. Chef Wayan even comes out often to greet guests, adding to the warm and personalized feel. Their small team is very informative, full of smiles, and open to explaining the details of the food, the local ingredients used, and the philosophy behind each dish.

Modern Indonesian cuisine. The flavors are reminiscent of a warung (local eatery), but they also feel familiar to Japanese palates. The interior is clean, and they serve freshly prepared food, so you can dine with peace of mind regarding hygiene. Recommended dishes include mixed juice, satay platter, seafood salate, and grilled duck.

One of my favorite places to eat in Bali. Been coming back for the past 4 years, and the food still feels just as comforting. It’s like home cooking, but elevated — refined without being overly complicated or heavy. Every flavor feels balanced and just right. It is a little pricier than I remember, but still worth it for the experience, the memories, and that familiar taste I’ve been missing. Always look forward to coming back here whenever I visit Bali. ❤️

It was a delightful night out with my partner. We had two starters and two mains. The food was delicious and elevated Indonesian cuisine. The Sauvignon Blanc was not bad at all. The staff were lovely, polite and attentive. I would highly recommend it. Enjoy 😊

Hi, Anastasia here! I was born and raised in Bali, which means I’ve basically been island-hopping, waterfall-chasing, and café-hunting since forever. Over the years, I’ve reviewed more than 185 places — focusing on nature spots like secret beaches, scenic trails, and cultural corners, while also keeping up with the latest restaurants, cafés, and beach clubs. Through OnBali, I share real, first-hand insights to help you explore Bali like a local and discover the kind of places that don’t always make it onto Instagram.
