Top Places in Kuta Lombok
A dozen places to know in Kuta Lombok, across every kind of meal. The main road is where most of them sit. Cantina Mexicana is the noisy backyard of the strip, with family sized nachos, puffy tacos and Baja inspired cocktails, and live music to follow. KRNK grills smash burgers at the pavement and pours draught beer, and Papi Sapi runs its chiller system, where you choose the cut, the sides and a sauce such as chimichurri. For something slower, Markisa sits downstairs at Rawa Lombok hotel and starts every meal with a loaf of bread, from the team now behind Artisan in Uluwatu. Elamu serves moussaka, pita souvlaki and fried halloumi in filo with honey, and El Bazar has a courtyard with a fountain behind its grill. Coffee and brunch belong to Kenza, Milk Espresso and Bush Radio. Jiang Nan asks you to book for its dumplings, and Ashtari, out on the road to Mawun, sells its own coconut yoghurt and runs Indonesian cooking classes. This is an early list, opening for diner votes, and positions cannot be bought.
