Warung Ayu Ikan Bakar Ala Jimbaran, Mengwi

Dewangga

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Warung Ayu Ikan Bakar Ala Jimbaran, located at Jl. Dalem Warung No. 3, Pererenan, Mengwi, Bali. If you’re ever in the area and your stomach starts growling like a bear, this is the place to be! Seriously, I think my stomach was auditioning for a role in a horror movie with all the growling it was doing.

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I dove headfirst into their “Paket Ayu Cantik 1” (which sounds like a beauty treatment but is actually a seafood feast for two). For just 140K IDR, you get a plate of grilled fish that’s fresher than your morning coffee and shrimp that could probably swim back to the ocean if they wanted to. I mean, these guys were practically doing the backstroke on my plate!

And let’s not forget the clams! Oh, the clams! They were so good that I ordered extra, and I’m pretty sure the waiter thought I was trying to start a clam fan club. I could hear them whispering, “We’re not just food; we’re a lifestyle!” The sambals were like the cherry on top of this seafood sundae—spicy, tangy, and just the right amount of kick to make you feel alive.

One reviewer said, “Really fresh and delicious. Service with a smile and the locals love it so you know you’re in the right place.” I couldn’t agree more! The staff were so friendly that I half expected them to invite me over for a family dinner. And the locals? They were practically throwing confetti every time someone ordered the fish soup, which, by the way, is “insanely good.” I had to try it, and let me tell you, it was like a warm hug from the ocean.

The atmosphere? Picture this: you’re munching on grilled seafood while gazing at rice fields in the back. It’s like dining in a postcard! Just don’t get too distracted by the view; you might end up with rice on your shirt instead of in your mouth.

Now, I did hear a little whisper about the toilet needing some improvement, but hey, I’m not there to rate the restroom, right? As long as the food is good, I can hold it in for a while.

So, if you find yourself in Canggu and are craving some seafood, skip the long trek to Jimbaran and head to Warung Ayu. Your taste buds will thank you, and your stomach will stop auditioning for horror films. Trust me, it’s a must-visit!

If you’re cruising through Bali and find yourself in the Canggu area, you absolutely have to make a pit stop at Warung Ayu Ikan Bakar Ala Jimbaran. This little gem is located on Jl. Dalem Warung No. 3 in Pererenan, Mengwi, and trust me, it’s a seafood lover’s paradise!

First off, let’s talk about the food. Their signature dishes like Nasi Putih and Paket A are a must-try. One visitor raved, “My favorite and comfort food. If staying in Canggu, going to Jimbaran for seafood might be a challenge, so this place becomes a must-visit if you want to enjoy grilled fish with great taste at a reasonable price.” They ordered the “Paket Ayu Cantik 1” for two people (140K) and added grilled shrimp (40K). The freshness of the fish and shrimp is just unbeatable, and the “sambal matah” is a game-changer! Plus, you can enjoy the stunning rice field view while you chow down. The only downside? The toilet could use some improvement, but hey, it’s not a dealbreaker!

Another happy customer shared their experience after returning post-COVID: “Service was incredible and yet somehow the food was even better. My partner chose the biggest fish, grilled to perfection. I insisted on the clams too. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you for a wonderful meal, many smiles, and another reason for me to come back.” Sounds like a solid reason to keep coming back, right?

Now, if you’re just looking for a quick lunch break while driving around, this spot is perfect. It’s cozy, not too big, and has limited parking for about three cars. The food is good enough, with options like grilled fish, squid, and shrimp. But, a word of caution: one visitor had a rough experience, saying, “Had diarrhea the morning after having dinner here. My boyfriend was throwing up in the middle of the night. I’m sure it’s this place because the other food we ate that day was McDonald’s.” So, just make sure to check the freshness of your food!

Overall, Warung Ayu Ikan Bakar Ala Jimbaran scores a solid 5.0/5.0 for food, service, and atmosphere. With prices ranging from Rp125,000-150,000 per person, it’s definitely worth a visit. Don’t forget to try their Sup Ikan too! Happy eating!
