Nusa Lembongan

Eat and meet

Jungut Batu

Jungut Batu has a reasonable selection of eateries, front cheap warungs to quite fancy restaurants. Note the places on the headland are overpriced.

Indiana Kenanga

Very special

Jungut Batu Beach 56
T: (0819) 36 043 335

Come once the sun sets, dig your feet in the sand, and enjoy a very special meal prepared by an imported French chef. The staff here can be a bit snooty (try using the free WiFi they tout if you're only eating here) but come of an evening, and the food is outstanding (and the staff then instead ... read more
Warung Boemboe Bali

Vegetarian hit

Jungut Batu

Look out for the red wall adorned with unusual artwork to find this friendly little establishment. It offers the usual suspects of Western and Indonesian food and also has a pretty solid vegetarian section. Another table waxed lyrical about tofu balls they'd had the previous night (we had to ... read more
Jhony's and Wayan Coffee Shop

Hidden away cafe

Jungut Batu near the headland

Right before you start out along the headland, there's a little lane running off to your left where you'll find the comfortable Jhony's and Wayan Coffee Shop. With both garden and indoor seating, real coffee and a bunch of Western and Indonesian light meals, this isn't a bad off-the beach option. ... read more
Scooby Doo

Junk food and WiFi

Beachfront, Jungut Batu

Once you drag the staff away from the sports (surf heavy) TV, you'll discover Scooby Doo does burgers that are big and hearty and we'd certainly recommend them. Also good are the side salads, the pizzas however, less so. It's really pretty typical tourist fare here, but the beachside setting and ... read more
Ketut's Warung

Thai with a Lembongan twist

Jungut Batu

You'll see signs dotted around the place for Ketut's Warung — follow enough of them and you'll find it. After deciding there was already enough Indonesian restaurants, Ketut did a Thai-cooking course and this is the result. It's certainly not what you'll get on a Bangkok soi, but Lembongan is ... read more
Warung 99 Meal House

Good for lunch

Jungut Batu

Set in the centre of the village, this is a good spot to stop by for a nasi campur lunch, an iced cold drink and a spot of people watching. Dishes are mostly simple Indonesian fare — the servings are generous and the prices very reasonable. Popular with both locals and tourists and the warung ... read more
Warung Relax

Cheap and tasty

Jungut Batu waterfront

This is a cheap Indonesian warung right on the waterfront down near where the fast boats from Bali land. What you get here is very simple: back to basics Indonesian fare at back to basics prices. Not worth a trek across the Bali Sea for, but if you're in the area and want to dodge the tourist ... read more
The Deck

Pricey with great views

Jungut Batu headland

This funky-looking spot overlooks the beach from the headland and is a pricey but pretty spot for a cocktail. The Deck appears to be attached to Batu Karang, though we can't see any mention of it on their website. When we asked for WiFi, we were told we had to go ask at their reception, and when we ... read more
Warung Made

Simple Indonesian food

Jungut Batu

Warung Made is one of a few simple Indonesian warungs along the road to have put out chairs, umbrellas and an English-language menu. Open for breakfast through to dinner, the menu here had a fairly solid collection of typical Asian one-plate dishes, and there's also a nod to some typical Western ... read more

Mushroom Bay

Nusa Lembongan's best swimming beach also has some good spots for a meal. Best of all the views are free.

Cafe Bali

Great views and good food

Mushroom Bay Beach

This large beachfront restaurant serves up some impressive dishes, both in Indonesian and international lines. Prices are very reasonable given the setting and this is easily the best place to eat on the beach. We had an exceptional tuna dish here, so exceptional we forgot the name of it! Good ... read more
Alam Nusa

Friendly and good food

Mushroom Bay village

We're a big wrap on this place for its accommodation, but the food isn't half bad either. The menu is pretty comprehensive, both for lunch and dinner and, if you happen to have caught or speared some fish, they'll happily cook it up for you. Especially friendly staff, though it would be great ... read more
Adi's

Cheap Balinese food

Mushroom Bay village

Adi's roped us in on the promise of good traditional Balinese cuisine though we're not sure how traditional it really was. Tradition aside, the food was good and very well-priced. There are not all that many places worth recommending to eat around Mushroom Bay, but this is one of them and it is ... read more

Western Nusa Lembongan

There are a handful of places scattered across the western bays and viewpoints. There are some of the better ones.

Seaweed Lounge (next to Beach club)

Soon to be famous

Next door to Beach Club, Sandy Bay
T: (0828) 9700 6027

Crammed into the eastern corner of Sunset Bay right beside Beach Club this new spot (as of July 2011) does mostly Western meals and snacks. While the menu claims that they're "Soon to be famous", we wouldn't be holding our breath on a quick resolution on that particular claim, though the prices are ... read more
Beach Club at Sandy Bay

Pleasing lantern lit evenings

Sandy Bay, Nusa Lembongan
T: (0828) 9700 5656

If Lembongan is a bit of a getaway from Bali, then the Beach Club at Sandy Bay is a getaway from the busy bit of Lembongan again... They offer a free pickup service, which makes it an easy choice for a pleasant half-day by the pool or surf away from the crowds. The pool is modest, but then so is ... read more
Warung Sunrise

Great views

Overlooking the Ceningan Strait

We can't imagine this basic place is actually open for sunrise and we confess to not verifying that is person, but this is more of an afternoon spot anyway. Perched on the edge of the channel between Lembongan and Ceningan, this is an ideal vantage point to watch the seaweed harvesting and ... read more
