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.

My friends and I visited HOME by Chef Wayan, and we were blown away by the food. They serve local fusion cuisine that is absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with flavor and perfectly suited for Asian taste buds. We especially loved the fruit smoothies—so refreshing and made with real, fresh ingredients. The ambiance felt warm and welcoming, just like the name \"HOME\" suggests. Service was great too. If you\'re looking for authentic Balinese flavors with a modern twist, this is the place. Highly recommended!

HOME by Chef Wayan has emerged as one of Bali\'s most celebrated modern Indonesian restaurants, led by award-winning Chef Wayan Kresna Yasa, recipient of Foodies Magazine\'s Chef of the Year award. Drawing inspiration from his childhood, family traditions, and years of experience working in internationally acclaimed kitchens, Chef Wayan has created a concept that feels deeply personal while simultaneously pushing Indonesian cuisine forward. Located in Pererenan, HOME is built around a philosophy of honoring Indonesian culinary heritage through contemporary techniques and thoughtful presentation. Many of the dishes are inspired by recipes passed down through generations, reinterpreted using modern methods while preserving the flavors and stories that make them meaningful. The result is a menu that feels familiar and nostalgic for locals, while offering international guests a deeper appreciation of Indonesia\'s rich culinary diversity. Beyond the food itself, the restaurant\'s name perfectly reflects its identity. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and welcoming, encouraging guests to slow down and connect over food. Combined with a strong commitment to local ingredients and cultural storytelling, HOME by Chef Wayan has become one of Bali\'s most exciting dining destinations and a standout example of how Indonesian cuisine can be both rooted in tradition and boldly contemporary.

Second meal here was just as good as the first. The flavour of the rendang was just sensational and the chicken curry and pork skewers were delicious. Coupled with lovely cocktails and great staff, this place is a must visit. Met chef Wayan both times and he is super friendly.

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.
