About Moon Cafe

Run by a welcoming local family in Amed, this open-air warung pairs ocean-fresh seafood and fragrant curries with genuine hospitality. Regulars return for the crisp barracuda bathed in rich Balinese sauce, spicy beef rendang, and slow-simmered tofu curry that punches well above its modest price tag. With a day’s notice, the kitchen prepares a multi-course Indonesian rijsttafel—a spread of bite-sized regional specialties served alongside rice, noodles, and crackers while the family hums along from behind the stove.

  • Pre-Ordered Rijsttafel Spread: Reserve a day ahead for a traditional multi-dish feast showcasing regional bites, noodles, and crackers.
  • Market-Fresh Balinese Cooking: Fresh barracuda, beef rendang, and fragrant Balinese tofu curry served at modest prices.
  • Warm Multi-Service Hospitality: A close-knit family team that tailors spice levels, shares travel tips, and arranges scooter rentals or lodging.
