Eating out in Bali is always cheap by Western standards, but the street stalls or Warungs are always the cheapest option and we eat at these little roadside restaurants all the time.
A warung is a type of small family owned business — often a casual, usually outdoor restaurant (or convenience store). You’ll find all the typical Indonesian foods here, such as Nasi Goreng, Mie Goreng and Cap Cay. Warungs offer a cheap place to eat where the food is tasty, the staff are friendly and you don’t have to dress up! If you’re bored of eating out in restaurants all the time but don’t want to cook, Warungs are a great place to eat and it will only cost you a few thousand Rupiah.
Our favourite places to eat are:
Warung Parma, Kuta- they do the best banana milkshakes! Situated between Poppies 1 and 2, Warung Parma serves all kinds of international cuisine, from Chinese and Indonesian to Holland and Italian Food. We don’t know how they do it, but every single dish on their extensive menu is brilliant and great value for money.
Suzuke Warung, Balangan- My favourite beach on the island, Balangan is a real beach with beautiful sand, palm trees, sun loungers, reef, rock pools and great surf. And what’s more it has a brilliant Warung with the best Nasi Goreng. Screams can be heard from surfers having lime juice rubbed into their wounds in the rooms, but don’t let that put you off as the food is wonderful! It’s like a real family Warung, the people are friendly and there’s always cool people staying there. You can take what you like from the drinks coolers and just pay at the end of the day.
Pak Malen, Sunset Road- Babi Guling Warungs sell roasted pork and they use the whole pig to make different dishes, which can be VERY spicy yet delicious. At Pak Malen they give you pork scratchings, roasted pork meat, green chillis, crackling and pork satay and wrap it in a coconut leaf and paper. It’s so spicy though you’ll be reaching for the water!
Warung Ocha, Seminyak- At Warung Ocha all the buffet food is in a display cabinet, so you just point at the things you want and eat in or take-away. Dishes include roast chicken and potatoes, vegetables, omelette and noodles. They have wireless internet too so it’s great if you want to get a snack and do some work.
