Cafe Aras

Café Aras is een nieuw restaurant in de hoofdstraat van Rantepao. De eigenaar, Aras ([email protected]) is tevens een soort hoofd van de gidsen in de stad en handelt in antiek. Het restaurant is mooi ingericht met veel antieke versieringen aan de muren.Op de kaart staan zowel Indonesische (inclusief Toraja) gerechten als Westerse gerechten (steaks, pasta, pizza). Wij hebben er twee maal heerlijk gegeten, zijn ook Australiërs tegen gekomen die dolenthousiast waren over de steaks, maar ook het Indonesische eten was erg lekker.Ik had ook de indruk dat er veel gasten waren die na één bezoek vrijwel elke dag dat ze in Rantepao zijn daar eten.Is zeer zeker een vermelding waard. Iets duurder restaurant, maar zeker het beste waar ik in Rantepao gegeten heb.

There are two Cafe Aaras both located on the main road of Rantepao, and both good. Same owners, but the biggest of the cafes is made Muslim friendly (for instance no pork). I've had very good food in both restaurants. In both places the staff was very friendly, attentive and good at English. The atmosphere was nice in both places as well. Beautiful interior and cozy music. Definitely worth a visit.

Salassa

Reviewed By Goffinger

We stayed there and we have tried a lot of their meals. It was the best food we had in Indonesia from two months travelling around ! I recommend the Ikan Bumbu Bali (Barracuda) and the Udang Rica Rica, it was unbelievable. It is a real chef in the kitchen, that make the difference. Don't be in a hurry, as their board says " Our food is made with love and love takes time". The prawns with the coriander and pineapple sauce is really nice too. Thanks !

Sop Konro Karebossi

Reviewed By rsnsr - Surabaya, Indonesia

I did not really like it. Neither the atmosphere (Warung style), nor the presentation of the food (fast-food style) , nor the cooking (chewy style), nor the taste (sweet style peanut sauce on the grilled ribs). But may be this was just not for me. Judging from the crowd, there must be something appealing there. You may want to find out yourself.

Reviewed By tri_octa - Balikpapan, Indonesia

This place is well known for the fish (red snapper) head soup. We ordered the soup with coconut milk. The broth was thick, perhaps its normal for the people there. The taste was great with a little bitter accent and they cooked the fish head very well. The passion fruit juice we ordered was too sweet. Overall valuable with the price.
