In-Depth Information
Pondok Baruna Warung 0812 390 0686. Your best bet for delicious Indonesian cooking
without the fuss of fine dining is the restaurant of the Pondok empire: the menu of well-
cooked dishes includes a tasty ikan pepes (Rp45,000) and chicken curry with cumin, carda-
mon and coconut milk (Rp40,000). Daily 7am-10pm.
Ware-Ware 0812 397 0572. On a waterside deck with an excellent panorama over surf
breaks, boats and beach to Gunung Agung, this is a good choice for food with a view. Fresh
seafood is the choice on a large menu, especially the likes of barbecue tuna or mahi-mahi fil-
lets (Rp80,000). Daily 7.30am-10pm.
Warung bu Edi The best nasi campur on the island comes from this simple warung; just
witness the stream of expats and locals at midday who come for a feast that might include
spicy chicken, gado-gado and fried prawns, all for Rp20,000. Also offers takeaway. Daily
9am-8pm.
Warung 99 Mealshop Nothing fancy, yet this is a decent village-centre option for cheap In-
donesian and Chinese dishes, including kolobak (spicy meat and veg) and fu yung hai (om-
elette with vegetables, chicken or shellfish; Rp22,000) at budget prices with great views of
the bay. Daily 8am-11pm.
THE REST OF THE ISLAND
Beach Club Sandy Bay Sunset Beach, a 5min walk from Dream Beach 0828 9700 5656.
While perhaps not the gastro-force it once was, this chic spot remains a fine place to spend
a day. Seafood stew with fish, squid, clams and king prawns (Rp95,000) appeals on a menu
that takes in barbecued fish and meat, tacos and pizza. Spend Rp100,000 during the day and
you can use the sunloungers and pool. SMS or phone for free transport. Daily 8am-11pm.
Café Pandan At Dream Beach Bungalows, Dream Beach 0813 3873 7344. There are
all the usuals on a menu encompassing Indonesian, Balinese and Thai curries, with dishes
like pepes udang (steamed prawns) or grilled tuna or snapper (Rp58,000). But the reason
you're here is the view, perhaps with a cocktail and a dip in the hotel pool (Rp50,000). Daily
8am-10pm.

gutbatu (at poor rates) and moneychangers cash travellers' cheques and offer credit card ad-
vances (eight percent commission, passport required).
Health centre The island's health centre ( klinik ) is on the main road in Jungutbatu.
