Where to eat on Nusa Lembongan – our favorite spots
Nusa Lembongan may be a small island, but when it comes to food, it punches well above its weight. Whether you're craving a slow morning coffee, a fresh and vibrant lunch, or a laid-back dinner with ocean views, this island has something for every taste. From your traditional warungs to beachfront cafés, here’s where we love to eat on Nusa Lembongan.
Coffee – start your day right
Good coffee isn’t hard to find here—if you know where to look. Whether you prefer a strong espresso or a silky flat white, these spots take their coffee seriously.
Kenya Coffee
First on the list is Kenya Coffee. The place looks simple, but they serve really good coffee. The best thing is that they are right at the beach, so go there in the morning when the weather is nice to wake up with your favorite coffee variation in front of the ocean breeze.
Drink of choice: When sunny, we always order an iced latte

The General
Second is the general, where they serve coffee with the beans of Blacklist Coffee Roasters. It’s a great place to meet up with friends or do some work. When feeling a light breakfast, we recommend trying one of their pastries as well.
What we order: A flat white accompanied with a pain a chocolate

Bali Eco Deli:
If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee, this is your place to go. While having a great menu for lunch with lots of healthy options, we like to come here in the morning to start our day. If you’re feeling a little sweet tooth, try their healthy energy bites.

Breakfast & lunch – fresh, flavorful & laid-back
Ombak Huts & Cafe
When we are feeling like having a breakfast or a nice healthy lunch, we have one place in mind that never disappoints. This place is located right at the beach so you can enjoy your favorite dish with your feet in the sand. They have multiple healthy options. Feeling like you deserved a treat? No worries, they have multiple options to satisfy your sweet tooth as well.
Our favorite order: A Smoothie bowl (any, they are all amazing) & a fresh young coconut.

Classic warung – local flavors done right
No trip to Nusa Lembongan is complete without a meal at a traditional warung. Simple, delicious, and packed with local flavors, these spots serve up everything from fragrant nasi campur to freshly grilled seafood.
Dapur Kecil Lembongan
Probably one of our favorite restaurants on the Island. They have a buffet where you can select your favorite dishes. You can select your Nasi Campur package, where the friendly staff asks you how many greens or meat dishes you want with the rice of your choice.
Our go to order: Rice with 3 vegetable & lemon chicken

Pondok Baruna Warung
Also a must-visit traditional warung is Pondok Baruna. This place is famous for their Nasi Campur (read the reviews if you don’t believe me). However there is one dish on their menu that surpasses it all. We definitely recommend their Pepes Ikan - a delicious fish with curry sauce, wrapped in a banana leaf.
Our order of choice: Pepes Ikan

Dinner – sunset & seafood perfection
When the sun starts to dip, there’s no better way to end the day than with a cold drink and a plate of something incredible.
Warung Bambu
This hidden gem can be found when you go to the north end of the island. The staff is very friendly and they grill all sorts of fish that they catch daily.
What we order: Red snapper with a cold Bintang or coconut.
