Gili Trawangan is a very special island with a lot of contrasts and a very distinctive vibe. We can’t compare it to any other place Bali. You can snorkel, party, relax, discover new things, meet people … it just feels very free here! Since the island is pretty small, we’ve figured out the whole island in terms of food. Look no further, this is the list on food tips Gili Trawangan you need!
The Banyan Tree
@thebanyantreegili is a healthy foodspot with only vegetarian and vegan dishes. They also have some tables right at the beach!
Casa Vintage
We found it pretty hard to find a good restaurant for dinner. But we did! @casavintagebeach is serving Jamaican dishes (how special?!) and has a very cozy garden. We absolutely loved the Jamaican pot (vegan stew) and the yellow fish. Just be a little patient, since everything is freshly made.
Coffee and Thyme
@coffeeandthyme is a nice hangout with good coffee, breakfast and lunch. Loved the smoothiebowls in particular! Very generously topped with fruit.
Hello Capitano
@hellocapitanocafe is located by the beach and a good way to start your day on #gilitrawangan. They have delicious coffees and smoothiebowls (served in a coconut). Also try one of the many fresh (vegan) sweets!
Kayu Cafe
@kayucafegili offers comfort food as well as healthy dishes! We took both! Loved the fresh cinnamon roll, carrot cake and the red quinoa salad.
Pink Hotels
Go for a sunset drink at the Pinkcoco beach club (next to @pinkhotels)! Lounging on a beanbag with a pink coconut and good music, pure happiness.
There’s also the #gilinightmarket if you feel like a quick and cheap meal.

Spending time on the small island of Gili Air is a guarantee of tranquility, space and relaxation. We’ve spend a full day here (went by boat from Gili Trawangan) and did a walk around the whole island (just 1,5 hours!). Small as it may be, even on Gili Air we found an absolute gem!
Gili Bliss Love
Go for lunch at @giliblisslove_giliair! This cute pink spot in the middle of the island serves delicious smoothiebowls, all day breakfast and lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We’ve had the pink falafel burger and absolutely loved it. It is really admirable what Gili Bliss puts down on such an island! Certainly don’t miss it!
