WHERE AND WHAT TO EAT IN LANGKAWI


TOP RESTAURANT IN LANGKAWI
Most Popular Dining Experiences in Langkawi

Langkawi’s most popular eating areas are located in Kuah, Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Kok. Seafood eateries are abundant, most restaurants serve Westernised takes on local dishes (meaning they’re not too spicy) and there are a few good pizza-and-pasta places.


Worth special mention is the Red Tomato Splash Beach Café in Pantai Cenang and Domino’s in Kuah – but upscale restaurants such as Nam Restaurant in Pantai Cenang are also must-visit eateries when you come to the island.


1.       BNZ SEMPOY’Y NASI CAMPUR


It may as hot as blue blazes in this stall but the tasty fare will more than make up for it. There’s such a wide variety of dishes to go with your rice – try the ayam masak lemak and the sambal grilled fish – that you’ll be hard-pressed to make a choice. Operated by a husband-and-wife team, the food here is exceptionally cheap and worth every cent.

Opening Hours: 11:00 – 14:30
Location: Stall 3, Gerai Mara, Padang Matsirat (opposite Masjid Padang Matsirat)


2.       BOOM BOOM CORNER VIEW RESTAURANT 


Shaded by a bright red canopy and located at the junction of Jalan Pantai Tengah and Jalang Pantai Cenang, Boom Boom Corner is the place to sample some authentic Indian/Pakistani fare. Service is prompt and the interior is dimly lit by red lights. Specialties include roti bom, naan, tandoori chicken and briyani rice as well as the teh tarik.

Try the crispy Indian-style samosas, barbecued rock lobster tails, char-grilled rack of lamb and steamed apple, macadamia and butterscotch pudding. Although a bit on the pricey side, the sumptuous fare and luxurious atmosphere make it truly worth your dollar.

Location: Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort, Pantai Cenang

4.       RED TOMATO SPLASH BEACH CAFÉ


This particular tomato is quite difficult to locate – the entrance is shaded by trees and the flanking buildings seem to dwarf it. Run by expats, it serves some of the best western food on the island. The interior is jungle-green and fire-engine red; the pizzas are especially tasty and the prices are pretty reasonable. Try the toasted sandwiches and bruschetta; the pleasant staff will serve you anything from the breakfast menu all day long as long as the eatery isn’t too crowded.
