Dietary FAQ
What to confirm before you arrive
Preferences and medical allergies are not the same thing. Tell us the exact requirement before confirmation.
Is coconut milk dairy?
No. Coconut milk is plant-based, but guests with coconut allergies should tell us separately.
Can the full five-dish menu be dairy-free?
A dairy-free direction can be planned from compatible confirmed dishes. Tell us before confirmation so every recipe can be checked.
Is this safe for a severe milk allergy?
Zero cross-contact is not promised. Severe allergy requirements must be discussed before booking.
Included hospitality
We include the details that make the day feel generous.
Instead of selling every small extra as an add-on, Wayan’s Paon builds hospitality into the private experience.

DIETARY PLANNING IN PRACTICE
Build the request around real ingredients and the experience you want.
Choose a private five-dish Balinese menu planned without milk, butter, cream, cheese or other dairy ingredients in the confirmed recipes, while keeping the same Market or Cooking + Meal price structure.
Choose the experience separately
Market to Paon, Private Cooking + Meal and other compatible private formats keep their own schedule and price. The dietary profile tells us what the selected recipes need to avoid, replace or verify.
Use the dish pages before booking
The menu cards below use the actual dish image and link to the dish page. That lets your group compare ingredients, technique, timing and menu role without jumping back to a generic dietary photo.
Final confirmation is still important
Recipes, packaged sauces, specialty ingredients and shared-kitchen constraints can matter. Send the exact requirement with the chosen dishes so the final feasibility can be confirmed in WhatsApp.
