Recommended Restaurants in Lombok

| Whilst is quite
easy to eat very nicely (and cheaply) in Lombok, the best food is
- for the most part - still found in the hotels. The volume just
does not attract more investment. That said, there are still several
good restaurants we'd like to tell you about and whilst the list
is quite short you'll certainly not go hungry. (No doubt if you're
in Lombok for more than a few days you'll find these on your own
- but life's too short to have a bad meal..) Asmara : Indonesian & Western favourites $$$ Comments : While the kitchen isn't in the middle of the dining room (a la Gili Masak), it is just off to the side in a well lit building open for all to see what's going on and what's going on is good food. The dining room is set back from the street and furnished in traditional Indonesian style - very nice and cozy. Location : Jalan Raya Senggigi / Telp: 693-619 Cafe Alberto : Pizza and pasta $$1/2 Comments : You want pizza, Cafe Alberto has it (that and a selection of pastas all at reasonable prices) served on a verandah overlooking the bay. Location : Jl. Raya Senggigi Telp. 693-039 Cafe Espresso : Italian $$ Comments : A small, intimate cafe with an atmosphere that is a throwback to the 70's-80's era with bamboo chairs and red checkered table cloths but the pasta is homemade and the coffee is the real thing - Lavazza. Location : Jalan Raya Senggigi / Telp. 693-148 Tropicana : Mixed menu, mostly Western $$1/2 Comments : There is always something happening at the Tropicana. With its wood fired pizza oven, hearty western fare and the best night club in Lombok just upstairs, the Tropicana is a great place to spend the entire evening. Location : Jalan Raya Senggigi / Telp. 693-432 Taman Restaurant : Indonesian & Western favourites $$1/2 Comments : The curved shape of this always crowded restaurant lets you see and be seen. There is something for everyone and the service is very friendly and helpful. Location : Jl. Raya Senggigi / Telp. 693-842 Dua Em : Ayam Taliwang $1/2 Comments : For a taste of Ayam Taliwang (Lombok's signature dish - see side bar) head over to Dua Em in Mataram, about 15 minutes from most hotels in Senggigi. Rub shoulders with the locals while enjoying the best Ayam Taliwang in Lombok (but be careful with the chili). Location : Jalan Transmigrasi, Mataram / Telp: 626-734 |
