Our favourite restaurant on the island! The staff are so hospitable and very friendly great location on the beach. 2 suggestions that would make this place perfection: introduce a breakfast menu & include more alcohol variations i.e. wine & spirits.

We came here five times during our week in Tuapejat and it was always amazing! Super fresh and tasty food – we tried fish, lobster, octopus… everything was spot on. Rido and Dea, the owners, are just awesome, and the whole team makes you feel at home. Definitely a must if you’re around. Highly recommend!

Wow. We were so lucky to find this place (although only on our last day ). We came for lunch - amazing fried noodles and service - and the owner mentioned they're doing BBQ squid and mahi mahi later for dinner. We booked instantly and so glad we did! The food was phenomenal, so special to have mahi mahi. Wish we discovered them sooner!!

This restaurant is simply perfect; the owner is super friendly. On the day we went for snacks, she asked us if we wanted to come back for dinner tomorrow to eat BBQ fish, about $100k per person. Of course, we liked it very much. We love grilled fish, not spicy, and the sauce is super delicious. The vegetables and sauce served with it are also incredibly tasty! It feels like the flavor of peanut satay, and there's watermelon on the side! It definitely needs to be on the menu. 100% recommendation for anyone wanting grilled fish next time; you can inquire in advance! And good music, good vibe, not noisy! You can chill and talk to friends.

Our favorite spot in the Mentawai islands! The view is incredible, the traditional fish and fresh lobsters are to die for, and the welcoming is of the warmest! Could not recommend it enough and cannot wait to come back! PS their home made peanut sauce is incredible!
