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

Chef Cédric Vongerichten loves the picturesque streets of Nolita, which is why he chose this vibrant Manhattan neighborhood as the location for his new restaurant. Wayan offers Indonesian cuisine with a modern French flair, in a sleek space warmed by teak paneling, lush plants, and whitewashed brick. The unique and varied menu combines seasonal products and savory Southeast Asian flavors. Wayan’s showpiece bar turns out innovative cocktails highlighting ingredients inspired by the region. The cozy dining room, with its soothing tones, recessed lighting, and authentic carvings, promotes the sharing of food and conversation.
Wayan is Cédric’s first solo venture, after partnering with his father, Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, on eateries in New York and Jakarta. The restaurant’s name reflects this fact. In Balinese culture, each person receives one of four names based on birth order. Wayan is the name given to the first-born child—or, in this case, to the chef’s first independent culinary effort.
