Restaurant (invalid information) - Reopening planned later in 2026
The Restaurant Area
The Friendship Restaurant is a large area, not only for having a meal or a drink. Its also a place for relaxing, reading books, playing games (chess, backgammon, cards) and talking with other travellers and local people.
At the restaurant building you can find large maps for information and to plan your onward journey, loads of pictures at the walls to get some impressions about the jungle treks and some books for exchange. There are tables and chairs for dining and wooden furniture for relaxing. Most of the time we provide free WiFi in the restaurant area which works via 4G.
The Kitchen
Our large kitchen has all facilities to prepare everything fresh. Vegetable, fruits and meat is stored in the fridge or freezer. For cooking we use gas. We have some kitchen machines using electricity (toaster, juice mixer, rice cooker). Sometimes there is no electricity available, then its not possible to prepare some dishes or drinks (e.g. peanut sauce, fruit juices).
Licensed bottled drinking water is delivered in 20 litre drums, from where you can refill your own bottles. We offer bottled drinking water, canned soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, Fanta) and beer in bottles - please ask the staff.
Do it the Indonesian way
On request it is possible to prepare an Indonesian style dinner for you. About details please ask the cook. We need to know your wishes one day in advance to do all arrangements.
