Warung Sobat is a cheap open-air restaurant serving a mix of Indonesian, Asian and Western food. They currently have 2 locations in Seminyak, one on Jalan Batu Belig (Warung Sobat I) and one in Kerobokan (Warung Sobat II). It is owned by a Balinese family.
It is nicknamed the "canteen" by the French community in Bali, which makes up about 30% of Warung Sobat's customers. This is due to the casual and homelike atmosphere, the decent (yet unspectacular food), and the high number of regulars.
I tried the second branch for diner with a friend. The place was almost full and it was not easy to get one of the two waiters attention. The menu is a long list of any dishes that you could possibly think of: Steaks, Pastas, Soups, Salads, Seafood, Asian and Indonesian favorites, etc...
We had the Caesar Salad (Rp27,000 net), the Spring Rolls (Rp16,000 net), the Filetto Voronoff (Rp70,000 net) and the Spaghetti Pesto (Rp39,000 net).

I found that the food was just worth its price. The portions were small and the ingredients used are probably the cheapest ones. In the end the taste is ok, similar to home cooking, but far from being exceptional.
Overall: If I was living nearby, I could indeed be a regular as it is still better than what I would cook by myself. It is not worth a long drive though as there are many similar restaurants in South Bali (you can check my reviews on this blog about Cheap Eats in Bali). The service can be slow during rush hours as the number of staff is limited.
