Wayan
Description
This beautifully designed Indonesian restaurant is the brainchild of Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten, a couple deft at providing wonderful food and hospitality. A bar and some small tables are up front; a narrow passage winds past the chef’s counter to an amber-lit dining room. Cédric (son of Jean-Georges) is both a gifted and rigorously trained chef, evidenced by lightly fried baby squid, intoxicating corn fritters, nasi goreng (fried rice with a runny egg) and noodles with lobster and basil. Don’t miss the sundae with bruléed bananas and violet-hued ube ice cream.
