We love Taste Cafe. The food is beautiful, so tasty (no pun intended) and the best ingredients are used. We have eaten here 4 times now. We love it. Every time the food has been delicious. And Diego, who owns the establishment is such a nice, genuine person, who puts so much effort into sourcing the right ingredients. Definitely recommend. ❤️

All the staf is very nice, the survice was a bit slower then normally but that was because it was very busy. The ambience is very nice with a good view of the ocean. The meals are I good portions and big enough too split.☺️

We ate here on numerous occasions during our Gili T stay and loved it. Taste Cafe & Restaurant had some good gluten free options and everything we had was delicious. The coffee was great too. What made dining here an even better experience was the exceptional and very friendly service from the team. The beach setting is a stunning place to sit. Highly recommend.
