Good Day Warung

Relatively new place with excellent service, serves well-prepared South Asian food that's well presented.

Rp20,000-35,000

Rust Warung

Probably the best known eatery on the island, and the one that attracts some sort of crowd, even when there are few visitors around. Fresh fish everyday, and as elsewhere on Meno, there is no real need to even think about eating anything else.

Rp 20,000-100,000

Sentigi Café

A delightful shack with four huts in front of it. Sentigi Café is marginally pricier than Yaya Warung, but the service is (relatively) fast and the food quite good. Fruit juices and milkshakes, for approx. Rp 15,000 and Rp 20,000 respectively, are an excellent choice. In the evening they offer a small selection of fish for better prices than other restaurants closer to the boat landing. Take into account that if you are the first one ordering fish, they'll have to start the barbecue for you, and it'll take time. Just the place if you are looking to have a quiet night with your partner.

Yaya Warung

If you're really budget traveller, or just hate tourist rip-offs, this is the place on Meno for you to eat. On the beach, but modestly priced, most Indonesian food is Rp 10,000-20,000. Nasi goreng is Rp 12,000, nasi goreng spesial (with chicken) Rp 15,000. Cheap fish in the form of fish curry can be eaten here for just Rp 12,000 (rice charged separately, Rp 4,000). Grilled fish, as a popular tourist dish, costs much more, but is still relatively cheap (especially compared to Gili Trawangan) at around Rp 60,000-70,000 per serving, including rice and vegetables. Choose your fish and let Yon cook it on the open fire. If the fish or Indonesian food all get too much, they have a small pasta menu for Rp 15,000-20,000, and make a passable job of preparing it. Fresh fruit juices, quality varies, but generally OK for Rp 10,000, milk shakes Rp 12,000, black/ginger tea and coffee Rp 5,000, Rp 6,500 for milk coffee, large Bintang beer Rp 35,000. Sometimes very slow service as there's only one cook working there and the place is very popular. A chat with the owner and the view will distract you. They have 3 small huts and several tables at the beach.

Rp 7,000-40,000

Aroma Cafe

Well prepared wood-fired pizzas are the deal here.
