About Wayan :

In early February 2019, Cedric Vongerichten (Perry Street) introduces Wayan, a French Indonesian restaurant in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood. Cedric and his wife, Ochi along with Ezra William are partners in the new restaurant, offering approachable dishes that highlight the vibrant flavors of Ochi's birthplace, Jakarta, with a modern French flair. Dishes are meant to be shared and enjoyed along with refreshing cocktails that highlight Indonesian ingredients as well as a global, accessible list of wines. Designed by Rockwell Group, the 80-seat space is both transportive and intimate, featuring lush greenery, rustic teak paneling and authentic carved wood pieces from Indonesia for a tropical-meets-downtown vibe. Taking its name from the Balinese term for "first born,” Wayan opens for dinner first with all-day service to come
