Gili Trawagan Food Guide
The Gili Islands have long ceased to be a secret. They are a favorite destination for many who visit beautiful Indonesia, and rightly so, because the Gilis are truly delightful. The Gili’s consist of three islands, namely Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno, packed with charming Gili hotspots.
The busiest island is Gili Trawangan, also known as the party island (we found this to be quite moderate).
Gili Air is much calmer, with a relaxed atmosphere, yet there’s still plenty to experience.
Gili Meno is often called Honeymoon Island and mainly consists of resorts.
Each island has its unique vibe, but they all share one thing in common: they are stunningly beautiful. Besides a bit of snorkeling, partying, and relaxing, we also searched for the coolest hotspots on the Gili Islands. We’ve compiled a list of the best Gili restaurants for you:
Casa Vintage, Gili Trawangan
Super hip, fun, and affordable. What more could you want? With your feet in the sand, enjoying a delicious meal. Casa Vintage was recommended to me by a good friend, and I was so glad she did. The ambiance is truly fantastic, and the food is amazing. I’d love to take the entire interior of Casa Vintage home with me. It just looks so lovely. They have various seating areas, hammocks, benches, you name it. Oh, and you’re right on the beach too.
Kayu Cafe, Gili Trawangan
A hotspot on Gili Trawangan that you definitely shouldn’t miss. It’s the perfect spot for a nice breakfast, a good lunch, or just a cup of coffee. Oh, and the pastries and cakes are also SUPER tasty. This restaurant is located on the busiest street of Gili Trawangan, making it easy to find.
Night Market, Gili Trawangan
If you want incredibly tasty food without spending a lot of money, you should head to the Night Market in Gili Trawangan. You can order delicious fresh food from various stalls. They have a bit of everything. The food is really good and costs just a few euros. Plus, it’s a very cozy atmosphere and has a great vibe.
Le Pirate, Gili Trawagan
Hipper dan hip, dat is Le Pirate. Het is een ontzettend fijn plekje om te verblijven op Gili Trawangan, maar ook voor een lekkere lunch, bioscoopje of diner zit je hier helemaal goed. Je overnacht bij Le Pirate in schattige wit, turquoise huisjes op een heerlijke locatie met uitzicht op zee. Een paradijsje op aarde.
Coffee & Thyme, Gili Trawangan
This spot is also a must-visit. This cute little place is located right by the Gili Air harbor and is an absolute Gili Hotspot. The coffee is really great, and you can also enjoy a delicious lunch or breakfast here. You can order tasty smoothie bowls or a good sandwich. Definitely worth a visit.
