Lombok Travel
Senggigi has always been an excellent place to dine and lately since the continuous revolution of the tourist industry in the area there are more and more places springing up all the time and old places have been taken over by foreign investors creating some of the best restaurants in the area. The main strip at
Senggigi is really the best place to go for fine dinning unless you would like to try the genuine local cuisine which you will have to search out in the local markets, this food is extremely cheap and the locals will be happy to point you in the right direction and recommend the best of their day to day cuisine.
When eating on the main strip in Senggigi you have a lot to choose from and although prices are starting to rise again, it is still far cheaper for the quality of food you are eating then in areas such as
Jimbaran and
Nusa Dua in
Bali. Restaurants tend to have a specialized style or origin of food such as Italian or Thai to name just two. It is possible to find amazing Italian food in a number of
Warungs, one of which that can recommended is the Basillico Restaurant which has some of the best pizzas in the area and wonderful pasta. The service is also amazing although the price is slightly more than average, the quality of food is far beyond the average. Another bonus here as with a number of the local places to eat is that you can also watch the sun set from here or in the day there is a wonderful view of the beach and sea. Other recommendations for the more romantic atmospheres and good food is the Alang Alang restaurant which is located closer to town but boasts a superior atmosphere and has very good service as well as out standing cuisine.
Most restaurants also have a selection of Indonesian food as well as the specialized food of the place. This will often include fried noodles, fried rice with seafood or chicken, chicken with sweet soy source and a variety of other dishes. These dishes are definitely worth giving a try and are more often than not the cheapest on the menu. Just be sure to specify how hot you like it or whether you like it to be very mild as the case may be. Warung Cak Poer is a very good place to try the nasi goreng which is the Indonesian fried rice if you are searching somewhere to specifically try the local food. Asmara is a very good place to go for an excellent selection of European foods, the Asmara is located close to the art market which any local person will be able to help you find. Really for west
Lombok, Senggigi is definitely the best spot to go for food although there are also a number of good places in
Mataram, the capital of Lombok. You will probably find that if you are staying in the
Senggigi area, you will find all the culinary excitement you could possibly desire on
the main strip on your very doorstep.
There are many selection of accommodation and good recommended Senggigi
Hotels at special prices.
