Holliday Restaurant

Top choice in Semarang


It's easy to see why this two-storey restaurant is permanently packed: the food is exceptionally good! Earning the unreserved recommendation of the local Chinese population, the restaurant attracts large parties to its circular tables even on a weekday. Dishes of super-fresh seafood, including jellyfish and lobster, and hot plates of bean curd are among the local favourites.
