Food and Restaurants in Indonesia

For the ultimate in variety, head to Jakarta. Here you should try sambal chilli sauce at Pedas Abis, barbecued chicken satay at Sate Ragusa and bakso meatball noodle soup from street stalls throughout the city.

Namaaz Dining is Indonesia’s first molecular gastronomy restaurant that showcases local cuisine. In other words, don’t be put off by the serving size – they’re meant to be that small. And there are 17 courses.
It’s as much a spectacle as a feast for the senses. Dishes are served in all kinds of receptacles. While the décor is simple and modern, mystery remains one of the kitchen’s greatest strengths (it also resembles a chemistry lab more than a restaurant kitchen). In the same way you wouldn’t want spoilers before you go to the cinema, Namaaz has no menu. The less you know, the better.
Namaaz Dining plays with guests’ expectations, keeping you on your toes throughout the meal. Even once you work out what each dish is, the next part is working out how best to eat it.
 

Among the bustling streets of Bali, Warung Tujuh stands out as one of the tourist favourites. It serves up authentic Indonesian fare that is very accessible to Western palates. You can’t go wrong with the sate ayam and nasi goreng.
A small storefront with outdoor seating, Warung Tujuh’s service is swift and friendly. Efficient enough to serve as a pit-stop, but nice enough that you’ll be happy to linger. When you return to the tourist trail, you’ll do so with a full stomach and money to spare.
 

Now this is something special. Overlooking a valley of lush, green forest in Bandung, The Restaurant at Padma Hotel is nothing if not romantic.
The layout takes in the scenery from all angles, whether you’re dining inside or out on the terrace complete with atmospheric lighting. The food is generally served buffet-style which allows you to mix-and-match to taste and eat at your own pace.
The lush hill views are what make The Restaurant a must for travellers looking for an atmospheric dining experience. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, it’s best to arrive in daylight to savour the view.

Kayu Manis Café & Homestay combines high quality food at good value and a minimum of fuss.
A small, unassuming restaurant in Sanur, it only seats about 20 guests at a time in the leafy courtyard. The menu takes influences from all over the world but ultimately keeps things simple. What it does, it does well.
As well as serving cocktails, it offers up classic salads, pasta, and meat dishes. More of an oasis than an eatery, Kayu Manis knows that sometimes simple is best.
 

You don’t get much more authentic than Sate Ratu. A street stall with seating – when a place like Sate Ratu is full, you know it’s on merit rather than hype. As the name suggests, satay is the signature dish here. But within that niche, the choice is vast.
This is no tourist trap. Locals will enthusiastically recommend it. Among travellers it is known for it’s friendly and hospitable service as well as a clean and cosy atmosphere. Sate your hunger with the best satay in town.
