For nostalgia ... Once upon a time, there was Lita Chinese private school. The stately property was abandoned for many long years until a group of young men turned it into what we now know as Basaga. Its old structure is retained as faithfully as can be. Its "face lift" is delightful. Every bit is tastefully done. Visit its web site for detailed images because I don't want to go into long description. Basaga is a reasonably priced comfortable place to stay, though located away from the city center. I drop by every now and then for its airy, outdoor area for light refreshments. Basaga may not be known for its food, but it's about the only place that makes me feel like snacking in my own garden. If you do drop by, look under the big tree that greets you at the entrance. You might find some beautiful bright red seeds. How about Basaga seeds for little souvenir?

Had the Canadian Maple burger in honour of my homeland and found it to be a nice burger with excellent flavouring. The black bun is a little disconcerting to look at (youâd think it would taste like charcoal) but it tastes like any other bun. Price was reasonable and service was prompt. Nice change of pace from all the Malaysian food Iâd been eating the past week. Thanks for your kind feedback! We are flattered! It's our pleasure to serve you! Please come again :)

We went to this during our stay at the Lime Tree Hotel. It compliments the hotel very nicely. The happy hour deals were really good and we love their lime juice drinks. Snacks and light meals are available in addition to the Happy Hour items,. Staff were very friendly and attentive. A great place to watch the sunset and quite often it's uncrowded and you have the view to yourself!

This is a good hangout for an evening. They have a small selection of food on the menu with the normal beers as well as a selection of tuak, the local rice wine. Music can be a bit loud. Service is friendly and price reasonable.

We walked in and we immediately felt welcomed. The atmosphere and the ambiance were great. Everyone was super friendly we ordered our meal and the service was amazingly speedy, the food was brilliant. Tasty fresh and great value. A pint of ASAHI was 20 myr. The owner came over after we had eaten he ordered a plate of squid and we drank and ate together. It was a totally brilliant experience. They have a band playing who are great. IF YOU ARE IN KUCHING THIS IS A MUST VISIT BAR.Thank you very much.Croeso (welsh for thank you).

Eclectic bar/ cafe where 50% of profits support wildlife conservation & animal welfare through Orangutan Project, Open from 10am serving great western food, Wide beer selection, good music, outdoor garden seating. Relaxed & family-friendly.
Reviewed By Moleseyboy
We tried out the Bear Garden, in part because of its eco-credentials and in part because our kids wanted a break from rice and noodles. Mixed opinion about the burgers: #1 son being underwhelmed (preferring the Granary burger to the Bear Garden burger) but #2 being quite happy! Both my wife and I ate the veggie burgers which were excellent.This place is quite a bit cheper than many of the other bars/cafes serving Western food, but still was twice as much as dinner at the Borneo Delight just down the road.NB this place is cash only, with the nearest cash machine a good 10 minute walk away...

James Brooke Bistro is situated along the Kuching Waterfront. It is a very relaxed location with some very quirky decor...plenty to look at! The staff are also a little wacky, but good fun (if a bit slow)! The bistro is perfect for a cooling lime juice on a hot day, but is also very good for food in the early evening. They do an excellent Laksa!

This doesn't look great from the outside but once in, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is great. Staff looked like they were happy to be there. We had a couple of pizzas and service was quick, our drinks were good, and we paid by credit card which was no problem. We ate upstairs but there's also downstairs too. The air con was effective and bathrooms clean! The dessert looked good but we were too full to eat any.

One of the best bar in Kuching. Both Andy and Grace are very friendly and will make sure you feel at home. The price for their beers is very cheap and they do serve traditional drinks such as langkau and tuak a must try when you're in Sarawak. A must visit if you are in Kuching and they have a beautiful bar counter made out of Borneo iron wood.Hi Watson, thank you so much for your kind review! We all really appreciate you taking the time. It is especially relevant as we tend to think of TripAdvisor in terms of our international guests, but you show us that locals use it too. Thanks again bro, hope we see you again soon
