For seafood lovers, Serangan, Denpasar, Bali is a must-visit culinary destination. In addition to offering a variety of fresh seafood dishes, Warung Pondok Bawang provides a unique experience—savoring Serangan’s signature seafood dishes while dining on a boat.
Unlike typical seafood restaurants, Warung Pondok Bawang presents a dining concept aboard a floating boat in the waters near Serangan’s mangrove forest.
Guests can enjoy the serene sea atmosphere while indulging in various seafood dishes prepared with authentic Balinese spices.
Dining on a boat adds a special touch, especially with the gentle sea breeze and the scenic view of the mangrove forest enhancing the lunch or dinner experience.
This warung is known for its specialty dishes that highlight the local flavors of Serangan. Some of the most popular menu items include grilled clams with Serangan spices, fish soup with rajang spices, and sumi suna cekuh, a traditional Balinese dish.
The seasonings used are inspired by the flavors once used for turtle-based dishes, offering an authentic aroma and taste that locals from Denpasar would instantly recognize.
For international visitors, Warung Pondok Bawang adapts traditional seasonings such as sambal matah and rajang spices with special techniques to make them more palatable to foreign tastes.
With prices ranging from IDR 50,000 to 100,000, this place offers not just delicious meals but also an affordable dining experience.
One of Warung Pondok Bawang’s main attractions is the ambiance it provides. The boat, previously used for water sports activities, has been repurposed as a dining space.
With a capacity of up to 80 people, guests can choose to sit on the upper or lower deck while enjoying the ever-changing sea view as the tide rises and falls.
Despite being on a boat, the restaurant ensures a comfortable dining experience. The seabed beneath the boat is composed of mud rather than coral, ensuring stability while preserving the marine ecosystem.
The restaurant operates from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it an excellent choice for either lunch or dinner with a relaxing ocean backdrop.
With its unique concept, Warung Pondok Bawang offers more than just seafood—it provides a distinctive dining experience.
Fresh seafood prepared with Serangan’s signature spices, combined with the laid-back atmosphere of dining on a boat, makes this place a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in an extraordinary setting. (BT)
