Gili Islands

Indonesian restaurants in Gili Islands

  1. A

    Wiwin Café

    A great choice for local dishes: grilled fish with yellow sauce, seafood fried-rice, gado gado or cha kangkung (water spinach) are all excellent. Has the most extensive veggie menu on the island (try the young papaya curry). Service is attentive and there's a nice bar area too.

    Ali Baba

    Beachside warung decorated with wacky sea- and coconut-shell sculpture. It serves up Indonesian and Western fare in a tranquil setting right by the waves.

    Warung Indonesia

    Tucked away at the rear of the village, this authentic Indo warung scores high marks for cheap local grub in no-nonsense surrounds. No alcohol served.

    Rumah Makan Kikinovi

    Run by a formidable ibu, this is Indonesian food at its tastiest. It's very inexpensive − a big feed is around 15,000Rp.

  8. Good Heart

    A Balinese-owned restaurant, so if you're bored of those standard-issue Indo dishes the flavours have a slight twist here. Excellent for fresh seafood: barbecued or steamed fish, prawns or squid (choose from six different accompany­ing sauces including lemon grass, ginger or chilli). Also perfect for a sunset cocktail (40,000Rp) or fresh juice (10,000Rp).

    Café Wayan

    At the Alam Gili hotel, this fine place offers authentic Balinese and Indonesian dishes (try the steamed prawns) plus some good Western options (sandwiches with very fresh bread). Great service and a beachside garden location make it worth the trip up north.

    Balenta Café

    A wonderful location for a meal, Balenta has low tables right on the sand with turquoise water a metre or two away. It scores for omelettes, Sasak and Indonesian food like kelak kuning (snapper in yellow spice) and staff fire up a seafood barbecue most nights too. Service can be a tad relaxed though.
