Where to Eat in Nusa Lembongan – Local Food Gems Between Surfs

Good surf is a must, but let’s not pretend we’re not also here for the food. Lembongan might be small, but the flavour scene is mighty. Whether you’re into spicy sambal or simple satay skewers, these local gems delivered every time.

🥥 Warung 99 Meal House

This one’s right on the sand, and it’s a whole vibe. Think plastic chairs, cold Bintangs, and spicy food that hits just the right level of wow I’m sweating but I like it. A local mate tipped me off about this place, and I went back three times in one week. Watching the sunset with your toes in the sand and a mie goreng on your plate? Doesn’t get more Bali than that.

🍚 Dapur Kecil

Tucked just off the main road, Dapur Kecil is family-run and feels like it. The owners serve up generous portions with massive smiles, and their nasi campur is one of the best I’ve had on the island – colourful, rich in flavour, and made fresh every day. It’s the kind of place that quietly becomes your go-to without even trying.

🍜 Warung Putu

This spot is tiny, humble, and ridiculously good. Hidden on the inland road, Warung Putu serves up some of the best mie goreng on the island. Simple, quick, and cheap – perfect post-surf fuel. Bonus points if you can find it without Google Maps having a meltdown.

🍩 Sweet Treats – Koa Donuts

Looking for something a little sweet after your salty sessions? Koa Donuts is an absolute must. Famous for their fresh, handmade donuts and strong local coffee, this spot is run by a well-known local surfer who not only makes a mean dough ring but also offers surf lessons on the side. It’s the kind of place where you come for the sugar hit and end up staying for the stories. Friendly vibes, great chat, and a seriously satisfying post-surf treat.
