Pituq - Resto, Café & Shop

Pituq is a resto, café and shop at Sunrise Point on Gili Air, set within a spacious garden. The venue brings together plant-based cooking, café drinks, handmade food products and creative community activities in one relaxed setting. Its food is halal and prepared by hand in the venue’s own kitchen.

The menu takes inspiration from flavours around the world while using fresh local ingredients. Some ingredients are sourced from an organic garden in Lombok, adding a local connection to the otherwise international approach. The cooking suits diners looking for meat-free food without giving up richly seasoned, carefully prepared dishes.

The café side offers a place to pause over coffee or tea, while the shop extends Pituq’s kitchen style into take-home products. The range includes nut butters, energy bites, cooking pastes and sweet treats, all developed from recipes tested in the kitchen. These products also connect the Gili Air venue with restaurants, cafés, hotels, retailers and home kitchens across Lombok and the Gilis.

Pituq also hosts events and workshops alongside its food service. Creative activities include canvas painting, bamboo paper making, pottery, candle making, soap making and other hands-on sessions. Language exchange gatherings and natural medicine activities are also part of the wider programme. Some workshops require advance booking or a minimum number of participants, making the venue suitable for planned group activities as well as casual café visits.

The garden environment, plant-based menu and shop of kitchen-made goods give Pituq a broad appeal. It works for travellers seeking halal vegan food, café customers looking for a calm place to sit, and visitors interested in locally made products or practical creative experiences. For visitors exploring Gili Air, the venue offers more than a single meal, combining food, retail and workshops at one island address.
