Today's Cafe

Nice restaurant and friendly service. Had the gado gado and mie goreng. Both good but the gado gado had maybe too much saté sauce.

After 4 nights in Tuktuk I’m sorry to say that we only had our first meal here on our last night. The staff were friendly and the Indonesian food was great. Highly recommended are the Grilled fish with the andaliman (pepper) sauce and the rendang.

A casual place to eat with insanely big portions. The banana pancake was so unique and way too big for one person, I persisted and fell into a sugar coma. We were back the next day to try the potato randang and sweet and sour vegetables. The randang was the closest I’ve found to traditional randang so far in my trip, with lemongrass and whole spices throughout the thick pasty sauce, while it didn’t go super well with potatoes it did make for a nice vegetarian option. I’m sure the beef would be fantastic. The sweet and sour vegetables were your typical pineapple juice and ketchup sweet and sour (not a bad thing, but it’s nothing special). Nice chunks of pineapple and fresh vegetables made it a great sweet dish to balance out the spice and intensity of the randang. The two dishes which were incredibly cheap split between the two of us with a pot of tea and white rice filled us up so much we almost couldn’t finish it. I cannot express enough how large the portions are. It’s great. Service is slow, even when quiet, but that’s fine by me as the food is so fresh and there is only 1 or 2 people working at a time (both cooking and serving). Bring your computer and get some work done on the free Wi-Fi (code is on the front page of the menu) or chill out on the lounge chairs on the balcony. We stayed for hours working on our laptops. The staff are lovely and very accomodating, you’ll feel comfortable here as a foreigner, even if you’re a solo traveler. It’s usually quite quiet. I don’t have much experience with drinks here but the hot tea I’ve ordered has come with the sugar seperate which is great to get it to the sweetness level of your liking. To the owners, you have a gem here, keep it the way it is, it’s a fantastic place to eat.

I had the steak with fries and veg. The sauce is so good. Next time shld just go for medium rare. Sister is also very friendly and attentive. Paid 75k for my fantastic meal. Would be here regularly if I stayed in tuktuk.

One of the best restaurant in Samosir. We ate here 3 times in a row. Chicken Schnitzel and Chicken steak is number one! Big portions, good price, friendly staff! Recommended!

I had the fried fish with tomato sauce and white rice. The fish was deliciously crispy. The service was good and friendly. Five stars!

The food is very much different from what you get in other of the usual warungs/restaurants. I had an avocado with genuine espresso in the morning. For dinner I had an extrordinary tasty pepper chicken steak with fries. Make sure to come early as it can be full.
