The menu provides both Western and local cuisine as well as vegetarian and gluten-free options. Even though the restaurant is on the beach, it features a chic wooden fit-out. After a day of swimming, to dine at the restaurant, you will be required to wear a shirt or sarong to enter.

6. Lotus Bayview Restaurant
Bringing you authentic Italian cuisine in Lombok, the fresh ingredients will leave you wanting to try the entire menu. But if Italian food isn’t what you’re looking for, there is also a selection of local cuisine to savour. The tables outside are set on the sand, or dine under the sheltered area indoors. With Bali’s Mount Agung in the distance, the view sets the scene.
