Amsterdam Restaurant Gili Trawangan

Amsterdam Restaurant Gili Trawangan is a European farm-to-table restaurant in a coconut garden on Gili Trawangan. The setting reflects the island’s slower pace, with coconut palms surrounding the restaurant and a terrace suited to relaxed meals. With no motorised vehicles on the island, the surrounding atmosphere is shaped by bicycles, horse-drawn cidomo carts and a quieter rhythm than on the mainland.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a menu designed for flexible ordering throughout the day. Guests can combine selections from the menu to create a meal that fits the occasion, whether that means a morning plate, a midday meal or a longer evening sitting. The food focuses on homemade preparation, fresh ingredients and wholefood cooking rather than heavily processed fare.

Local sourcing is central to the restaurant’s style, with more than 80 percent of products coming from nearby sources. Ingredients are connected to local farmers and fishermen, giving the menu a clear relationship with the island and wider Lombok and the Gilis region. The restaurant also serves single-origin coffee, making it suitable for a morning stop as well as a full meal.

The atmosphere changes gently across the day. Breakfast and lunch fit the bright garden surroundings, while dinner brings a slower, candle-lit feel beneath the coconut palms. The overall character is informal and island-focused, with European food, locally sourced ingredients and a garden setting taking priority over formal dining.

Amsterdam Restaurant Gili Trawangan is located on Jl. Vila Klp. in Gili Indah, in the central area of Gili Trawangan. Arrival is by bicycle or cidomo from the harbour, in keeping with the island’s car-free environment. The restaurant works for travellers looking for a relaxed place to eat across several parts of the day, coffee drinkers seeking a locally connected café setting, and diners who value homemade food and local sourcing.
