Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant at Matahari Resort is superbly located next to the beach, offering excellent views to both the ocean and Mount Agung. It offers good breakfast and meals that are well above average (certainly as good as elsewhere in Tulamben). The menu is very diverse,...offering a good choice of Balinese, Thai and western dishes. The service is very good and preparation of the meals is surprisingly fast, even when the restaurant is crowded. The staff is very friendly, creating a familiar atmosphere. Highly recommended!More

We ate breakfast here each day of our stay and it was always good, fresh and tasty. Drinks, fresh juices and fruit were always nice throughout the day. Dinner was not bad but there can be a bit of confusion with requests like wanting "not...spicy" for example. Overall meals were good, the view is a plus. Staff lovely and helpful.More

Can’t believe there hasn’t been any reviews for this place recently. I know COVID has been a factor, so here goes. We are diving with Matahari and after a full days diving we were too tired to go elsewhere so ate at our restaurant. Along...with the many Indonesian dishes there are a large selection of Thai food. We ordered 2 Thai dishes, both were really tasty - pad ka prao (mince pork with basil leaves and chili) and gai pad prick gaeng (chicken with red curry, long bean and eggplant) - apparently the chef is Thai. Definitely recommend the Thai, so will try Indonesian next 😋 An added bonus of eating here is the wonderful view out over the ocean and in the opposite direction Mount Agung The breakfast fried noodles and rice dishes are also very tasty.More

The place is beach front and they have 2 floor, we eat at the second floor and it have a great view of the beach and sea on one side and the Mt. Agung on the other side, really beautiful. The menu provide lots of...option from western to asian and fews thai food. We eat crispy pork that bit hard to chew, but the mix stir fry vegetable is good. The beer also have a bargain price and they have lots fresh fruits for juice option. But this place also mostly crowded from guest of the resort or people at their diving center. This can be one of option for you to eat and drink if you stay around tulamben.More

Must admit that the view is great, and that's why I came here... But food was just average. I had grill mahi mahi which is very dry and hard. The worse part was that it still has scales on it... So was not nice to...chew that. Service was on a poor side. Would only come back for the atmosphere only.More

Service is not something this restaurant does. We were standing around trying to find out where to have breakfast as all tables were full. The staff were chatting in the kitchen. The other diners told us to go upstairs as there were tables there and...eventually they turned up with a dirty tattered menu. We both ordered the pancakes but the was a sickly sauce on them that made them inedible. Location is good but the management and quality really let's this place down.More

We stopped here for a snack on our first day in Tulamben and had a table next to the ocean as the sun went down. The spring rolls were unlike any spring roll I’d ever had before- the wrap was coated with egg and the...plate was covered in their homemade special sweet sauce (fresh fresh fresh). My description doesn’t do it justice- it was sooo good. We ordered spring rolls at ever meal after this and nothing even came close. They definitely put their own spin on it, and of all the food I had in Tulamben, those spring rolls stand out the most. Delicious!!!More

Have been coming here for the last three years. This year the menu has been updated with some great new Thai dishes. Food was always fresh and delicious and served by lovely smiling staff. Had just about every meal here during our 11 day stay.
