Where to Eat in Kuta Lombok
Kuta Lombok is small enough to cover on a scooter and busy enough to need a plan. Here is a short list, built around what you feel like eating. For a proper dinner, El Bazar is the long running choice on Jalan Raya Kuta, with Moroccan and Mediterranean plates off a Santa Maria grill and a courtyard out back. Markisa, at Rawa Lombok, opens with a whole loaf and olive oil, then aubergine crostini, calamari fritti and grilled yellowfin tuna. Papi Sapi suits the hungry: choose your cut from the chiller, then the sides. Jiang Nan is the Sichuan option, and it is worth booking. Mama Pizza bakes sourdough under a mango tree, and Elamu cooks Greek food from family recipes. For brunch and coffee, Bush Radio and Kenza are the two busiest rooms in town, one in a warehouse with house sourdough, the other with air conditioning and tofu bowls. For Indonesian food, Pawon Nusantara travels the archipelago, and Warung Ombak keeps it cheap. Ashtari, out on the road to Mawun, is the one with the ocean view. This is an early list, opening for diner votes, and positions cannot be bought.
Includes: Ashtari, Bush Radio and El Bazar
