Food and Drink

Rote Island may not have the sprawling variety of Bali, but it more than makes up for it with its focus on freshness and flavor. With an abundance of freshly caught seafood and ingredients sourced locally, meals here come with some of the lowest food miles you’ll find. From traditional Indonesian dishes to Michelin trained chef creations, there’s something to suit every taste. As tourism grows, Rote’s food scene is expanding too, offering an exciting blend of authenticity and innovation that reflects the island’s charm.
