The menu is diverse, offering a wide range of flavorful options such as young duck, free-range chicken, crispy fried fish, Betutu, grilled steaks (tenderloin, sirloin), chicken dishes, pizzas, pastas, teriyaki, and parmigiana. Each dish is crafted using authentic Balinese spices and traditional recipes, prepared by a skilled chef dedicated to preserving the island’s culinary heritage.
WASA emphasizes the use of organic ingredients and serves a variety of Indonesian dishes infused with bold, local flavors. Their signature sambal and careful seasoning bring every meal to life.
Though the restaurant may not sit directly on the riverbank, it provides an immersive riverside dining experience. Certain seating areas offer clear views of the Ayung River, with the gentle sounds of the stream adding a natural soundtrack to your meal.
For added convenience, WASA offers spacious parking for guests. You’ll find this hidden gem on Jalan Jaya Pangus in Peguyangan, North Denpasar. It opens daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM WITA, welcoming you to relax, unwind, and indulge in the flavors of Bali by the riverside. (BT)
