2 Best Restaurants in Lembar, Indonesia

Managed by Sakinah, originally from Germany, Asmara features an odd but interesting mixture of German, European, and local Indonesian food, with a multicourse rijstaffel menu that includes chicken satay and spicy vegetables with grated coconut. The restaurant is lit up at night, giving it a romantic appeal. A unique touch: in addition to the children's menu, they also have a babies' menu. As with some other restaurants in the area, they offer a free shuttle service to and from your Senggigi hotel.

Though it's located on a busy street rather than the beach, this upscale modern eatery draws in the crowds for its range of well-prepared Western dishes like Australian beef tenderloin and scallop and salmon ravioli, as well as Indonesian dishes including nasi goreng and wok-tossed calamari. Prices are a little higher than other restaurants in Senggigi, but for the extra you get high-quality meals and an extensive wine and cocktail list; try the five-course tasting menu (250,000 Rp) for the best deal. A nice touch: the restaurant offers a free shuttle service to and from local hotels.
