The bagel is so delicious, and the bacon is crispy and tasty. The ocean view is amazing. No matter where you go in Galilee, the ocean view is so good.

The staff at Taste is incredibly kind! They were able to make me a gluten free version of the KFC sandwhich without hesitation. I tried the breakfast sandwhich and KFC and everything was great but it was just a little bit dry becayse there isn't really any sauce. I asked for mayo on the side and added it to the sandwhich and it was really good :) The gluten free bread is amazing!

Staying at the Bale Sampan we have breakfast here daily. It is a quieter place on the main street on Gili Trawangan. There is also a small terrace on the beach. The staff is very nice and the food is healthy and very tasty. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our visit to *Taste Café & Restaurant*. The food was outstanding — the *Beef Rendang* was rich and authentic, and the *Nasi Goreng* was flavorful and perfectly cooked. What made the experience even better was the service. *Ms. Desi* was incredibly professional and took the time to answer all our questions and suggest the best dishes and drinks.
