We were so excited to hear that a new Waroeng Bernadette had opened earlier this year in Penstanan, just on the outskirts of Ubud central.
Having visited their original establishments, in Mas and then in Ubud central in the past, we knew already from friends who live in Penastanan that the new restaurant is living up to high expectations from diners.
Serving authentic Javanese specialities, Warung Bernadette will definitely be giving one of our other old favourites Warung Mendez a run for its money! (But Mendez does have a wider range of dishes in their menu)?
We started with crispy Indonesian sweetcorn fritters, followed by beef rendang and beef rawon.
The slow cooked beef rendang is melt in the mouth and served with pickled vegetables, tofu, tempe, greens in a delicious coconut sauce. Crackers and rice.
The beef Rawon soup was redolent of the unique flavour of the keluak nuts which give it the trademark almost black colour. One of the best Rawon soups I’ve tasted, served with preserved egg and crackers.
Beautifully designed interiors, great service and just down the road from our villa in Penastanan.
