Restaurants in Makassar (Ujung Padang)

  1. A

    Lae Lae

    Quite simply, the spot in town for fresh fish and seafood. If you approach from the seafront, no, don't worry, it's not closed; keep walking and enter via the sizzling barbecue. Peer into the huge ice boxes and enter fish heaven. The staff can recommend something if the choice is overwhelming. The décor may be simple, but the fish with cobek-cobek (sauce made with chilli, lime and shrimp paste) is anything but.

    Rumah Makan Kayangan

    Along the same street as Lae Lae, Kayangan is a slightly more upmarket affair with tablecloths and air-con, the latter particularly welcome at lunchtime. The fish is fresh, the service swift and the Bintangs are ice-cold. What more could you want?

  3. Kios Semarang

    The closest thing to a Makassar institution, keep on climbing the stairs to the 3rd floor where you will be rewarded with a rowdy crowd, good seafood and cheap beer. Start with a sunset and a Bintang or two before trying the fresh squid or shrimp.

    Shogun Restaurant

    The only authentic Japanese restaurant in town is right next door to Hotel Losari Beach. The prices are high for Makassar, but very reasonable compared with the average Japanese bill. Makassar's abundant fish makes sashimi an excellent choice.

    Rumah Makan Malabar

    Run by a second-generation Keralan, Malabar is a little slice of the subcontinent, serving up flaky naan and tender kare kambing (goat curry). The choice is limited but the flavours more than make up for it.

    Fish Warungs

    A string of makeshift fish warung set up every night on the foreshore opposite Fort Rotterdam and serve some of the tastiest, cheapest seafood in town. Roaming buskers provide tableside entertainment.

    Phinisi Restaurant

    Shiver me timbers, this is set aboard a full-size schooner. It's kitsch, but so is the menu, with international favourites such as 'Chicken Gordon Blue'.

    Candy Bakery

    Just around the corner from the massive Marannu Hotel, this little bakery has a good range of basic cakes and pastries.

    Pizza Ria

    It's not quite as much of a chain as Pizza Hut, so is worth a dip if you are craving cheese.
