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.

A delicious meal. Great value for money. Every dish was packed with flavour, and we left very full and happy! Our only disappointment was that all the dishes arrived at once, on our very little table - which meant awkward plate shuffling - and some of our mains had gone cold by the time we reached them. A little more pacing between the dishes would have made the experience perfect. Even so, the food was impressive and this was a memorable meal.

Home By Chef Wayan is absolutely wonderful. Every dish is incredibly delicate, refined, and full of flavor — everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere is soft, intimate, and beautifully designed, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service was perfect: attentive, professional, and welcoming. We had a fantastic evening and will definitely be back!

Tastes like home for sure. The dishes we ordered were amazingly good, especially if you want to have Indonesian with stable flavor (which means rich in spices yet not too overpowering). Sate Lilit was very good, the Babi Bali definitely our favorite also. Servers are very nice, good service! Definitely recommended!

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.
