Locked into the Cassia Condotel resort, we had little options but to have 2 dinners and 2 lunches here. And one breakfast.First -- lets me clear that its not the worse breakfast we've had in Bintan. They make a fair try at trying to look different but their offerings were all cheap fare. For breakfast, wieners from a can rather than actual like ... sausages. Unsmiling staff most of the time, and a noodle station that was attended by a guy more interested in his phone. I had to actually ask loudly to shake him from his interest in the phone.for Lunch and Dinner ... it insults me how the management feels it can get away with charging more than Singapore prices, for food thats cheap and poorly prepared. Wheres the Angsana/Banyan tree standard ? Ordered a Spring Chicken ... what came was 2/5ths of a chicken. Ordered curry fish ... 3 pieces of fish in a small tureen. The place shrieks of "Lets rip 'em off as much as we can". Staff were mainly inattentive and we had to signal several times to get their attention.

This Chinese seafood restaurant is located along the main stretch of road where lots of food outlets are located. It has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Great variety of food options such as crabs, lobsters, prawns, shell fish and more. Quality of food is good but a little pricey compared to other seafood restaurants.

We heard good things about this place and decided to check it out. Unfortunately, it was pretty average, nothing to shout about.The people were friendly and helpful. However, the food was served cold, and most dishes were rather average in quality. Somewhat pricey too.Won't recommend going out of your way to visit.

once upon a time there was this famous Japanese restaurant called Rin, located at Nirwana Gardens Resort, in the Lagoi area... a haven to quality fare and sophisticated serviceRin unfortunately closed down in early 2017 after 10 years of operation, and we were left wondering were to go for an authentic Japanese meal in Bintan...well, we got good news... one of the Japanese chefs at Rin has decided to stay on the island and open his own outlet in Tanjung Pinang, welcome to Tomo Restaurant!Rin's luxurious style has been toned down, to make the new place more affordable to locals, and we are happy to report that food quality and pleasant environment do not disappointin Tanjung Pinang, there is now an alternative to Indonesian or Chinese food: lunch or dinner at Tomo Restaurant, a daring tribute to Japanese excellence, in a small provincial town... definitely good value for money!

I was on business trip to Tanjung Pinang. Friend of mine recommends this place. The outdoor side is perfect to enjoy sunset time. You can see pulau Penyengat from this place. The food was great and the place was cozy. Reasonable price for the food.

I visited this restaurant with my partner on our first night in Bintan Island with the intent of trying out some authentic Indonesian cuisine. It was located within the premises of Banyan Tree Resorts and as we were staying at their sister resort (Angsana), we have to factor in some time for traveling to the restaurant. This was surprisingly a seamless transfer as both Angsana and Banyan Tree resort staffs ensured our timely pick up from the resort to the restaurant (which involved a chauffeured car transfer to the lobby of Banyan Tree followed by a Buggy ride to the restaurant). We reserved an outdoor seating just before sunset which allowed us to catch a breathtaking view of the ocean while enjoying our meal (although sunset occurred midway through our meal, and the surroundings were pitch dark thereafter). One advice to the management will be to install a couple more lightings in the outdoor area as it was not easy to have good visual of the food we were having (ironically we were illuminating the food with our phone torch at times). However, kudos to the staff who reacted quickly when I suggested placing an additional candlestick to the one that was already on the table. It did help a little though to the visuals but more definitely can be done. Food quality however made up for any subpar experience. We had the Rujak Tahu Palembang which is their signature appetizer and is simply made up of 3 parts: beancurd, egg noodles and fish cake in a sour and sweet tamarind plum sauce, which is not really to our liking. In contrast the main courses were impressive. We tried the Nasi Goreng and their signature duck dish (which was featured in the finals of some competition as described in the menu). The rice grains were fragrant, the satay meat was generous in size, largely compact with a good chewy texture, and well seasoned, and the grilled prawn was charred to perfection. The duck was analogous to Ayam penyet (Malay fried chicken) but definitely an upgrade in terms of texture and flavor. The rice served on banana leaf lined in a hollow bamboo was infused with the leaf fragrance and was a perfect combination accompanying each bite of the duck. On top of that, as many other reviews had pointed out which I wonât elaborate further, complementary crackers were served with a variety of dips of different flavors that one can savor prior to the meal. We should also highlight that we were fortunate that there were no other outdoor diners during our entire dining experience and hence were able to have our own private space which is a big plus. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience as itâs not often that one gets to enjoy good food and company in a serene environment with breathtaking view.
