Warung Pantai

Those who know the Amed coast make a beeline for Warung Pantai. A brilliant beachfront setup plating up some of the most honest, blistered seafood in Karangasem. Bali veterans point straight to the ikan bakar—specifically the smoky, fresh-caught Mahi Mahi and tuna charred right over the coals. You dictate the spice level. The family running the grill handles the rest. Expect stellar bowls of rich shrimp curry and deeply savory nasi goreng. At roughly four bucks for a massive portion of fish and rice, the value is wildly good. Ocean breezes. Unpretentious tables. Even a polite resident black cat waiting for a stray bite. Sit back, order the satay, and watch the waves.
