Ayamku Restaurant
Brunei's answer to KFC, this is one of the cheapest places in town to get a meal. You can get a big piece of fried chicken, some rice and a drink for next to nothing. And, the chicken is surprisingly good. One note: this may be purely coincidental, but many of the diners here seemed remarkably plump for southeast Asians.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Travellers and expats alike are drawn like moths to the invisible waves of wi-fi and the aroma of good coffee emanating from this downtown caffeine emporium. Drop by in the afternoon and you'll run into about half of the western tourists in BSB at any one time.

DeRoyalle Café
Like it's direct neighbour, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, this cosy little coffee-shop is a good place to kick back and relax with a magazine. If you're in a hurry, however, we suggest their more famous next-door neighbour, as the staff here is well meaning but slow. There's also wi-fi.

Frattini's Restaurant
Frattini's is one of the few restaurants in BSB to take advantage of the fine riverfront view. It is, without a doubt, the only Italian/Thai restaurant that we've ever come across (yes, we are suspicious of that combination, too). Despite the strange pedigree, it's a good place for a romantic dinner or when you just can't stand another plate of chicken rice or mee goreng. Stick with Italian standards like pasta and salad and you won't go too far wrong.

Hajah Halima Restaurant
This popular and friendly Indian Muslim place has just about everything the traveller could ask for: good coffee, tea, fresh juice and rotis in the morning; and great nasi biryani (spiced rice) and set meals for lunch and dinner, not to mention great mee goreng and murtabaks (roti stuffed with meat or vegetables). It's the best of the three similar joints on this part of Jalan Sultan.
-
Hau Hua
This surprisingly good Chinese restaurant does all the standard Chinese dishes and a few lesser-known ones, like broccoli with crab meat. There is an excellent drink menu that includes daily changing specials and good fresh juices.
-
Riverfront Satay Stalls
This collection of satay and drink vendors right on the riverfront offer one of life's great combinations: satay and fresh coconut juice. This is a great place to watch the sunset - when the colours really start working, why not jump into a waiting water taxi and enjoy the view from sea level?
-
Tamu Kianggeh
Self-caterers can walk across the canal to the local produce market, Tamu Kianggeh, where food stalls are sometimes set up.
-
Zaika
This dimly lit northern Indian restaurant is the place to go for a proper sit-down meal in BSB. They kitchen does well with favourites like shish kebab, naan and standard curries, but their attempts at more creative dishes are less successful.
