The Best Restaurants in Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia

My mom and I decided to visit Nusa Lembongan after looking at a map of Bali for hours. We originally confused the small island with one of the Gili’s, but once we realized it was a different place we began to do some research. There was little information out there about the island since it’s an up and coming tourist destination, but the pictures we found were enough to have us sold.

We really had no idea what we would find in the way of restaurants when we got here, but I can tell you there are tons of places to eat. We spent most of our two weeks on the main beach (Jungut Batu) trying almost every restaurant. The list below contains the restaurants I really enjoyed and would go back to. We usually spent between $2 and $6 each per meal.

Lemongrass happened to be a few buildings down from our homestay and quickly became our favorite. The first night we had the prawn burger, which is a stroke of genius. It was so amazing that I planned to eat it several times before leaving. Another night we tried the seafood combination plate and the fried calamari, which again blew us away. We gave the lasagna a try as well, but I didn’t love it.

The wifi here is fast and they offer live music some nights, however, my favorite part was the comfy couches. Since there were only two of us, the couch opposite was empty. The first night, a really sweet girl joined us and we had a blast talking to her. The second night two Aussi’s sat down and had us laughing so hard we nearly cried. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place, the food, and the people we met. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
