1. Baan Aarya

Founded in 1998, Baan Aarya is a gem of a restaurant on Bintan Island.

This was our 2nd trip to Bintan for a family vacation. We had visited Baan Arya restaurant on previous occasion. The restaurant is famous for serving Thai food from local produce. Last time we had tried Tom Yum soup. It was very spicy. On this occasion we were expecting something similar. But it turned out to be much milder version. All the vegetables cooked in the soup were cut into very very large portions. It would have been nice to cut them into smaller pieces.
For appetizers we tried the veg spring rolls. The veggies were stuffed inside a very thin wrap and it was cold. The sauce was adding a nice flavor to these unique spring rolls.
Main course was veg fried rice. The staff was proactive enough to confirm if egg was ok or not. This was the best dish we had for our dinner. Everything was nicely cooked and tasted very nice with the right mix of spices & veggies. For the desserts we tried fried banana with ice cream. The combination of cold ice cream & hot fried bananas was nice.
The outdoor Seating is very close to the sea shore and the evening breeze is quite enjoyable. You need to be prepared for mosquitoes. We had the mosquito repellant to our rescue. The place is well decorated and staff is very helpful. Prices might be slightly overpriced but then you are on vacation and you know that everything will be costly.
Both our visits have been very good to Baan Aarya and we will definitely visit in future if we visit Bintan again. Recommended if you like Thai food and want to have a quite meal by the sea side.
2. The Kelong Seafood Restaurant

Built on stilts just above the sea, a unique blend of Chinese and Indonesian culinary style. The only place to go in Bintan which has the richest and freshest seafood while offering panoramic view of South China Sea. Open daily for lunch and dinner from 11:00 AM - 10:30 PM.

Friend recommend us and we ordered steam mantis shrimp, garlic chicken (nice but too many bone pieces) and Assam sotong (black and sour sotong). We read another review that recommend gonggong n tried but was a disappointment as some of them r still cold. It does have a indo Performances and transport to it are done by the kelong. So going and return to resort was easy. During trip out to kelong one can still enjoy the mangrove view.

Went for family dinner to Dino’s.
The staff were friendly, however kind of lacking in service ability.
E.g. I’ve asked for a table for four of us;
Then my daughter was asking me something, and I’ve answered her, meanwhile the waiter went to our table and waved at us to come over...
The food was soso.... Spaghetti were ok, steak was dry when ordered medium, salmon was ok and the pizza too.
However everything was served Wehen finished by the kitchen, but definitively not together. More like one after each... as I was done with the salmon and my wade was still waiting for the steak ...
And I waited about 10min before I’ve started to eat.
Based on the pricing, i can’t recommend that place much.
However, in this resort you don’t have much choices...
Best so far in the Nirwana resort ist the pool-restaurant...

Light meals hawkers style, home-made ice cream and juice bar counter. BBQ buffet over the weekends with traditional dance and live music performance during dinner time. On weekdays, Western and Asian dishes are available. Open daily for lunch and dinner from 11:00 AM - 10:30 PM.

We really enjoyed the food here at the seafood BBQ dinner and at lunch. Service fast and impeccable. Friendly staff and the food were tasty and we appreciated everything. The fish and seafood were well cooked and the bread too was good. Seafood pizza not bad :) in general I liked the restaurant, the location and the music in the evening. Of course it's a bit expensive but once in a while it's ok!

the food is nice quality Indian and Indonesian, compared to some other restaurants nearby it is not too expensive but dare I say it still a bit overpriced.

Delicious food and wonderful service!
They make you feel very special from your entry into their restaurant until you exit.
We had a great time sitting by the window and looking on to the sea while enjoying Thai delicacies. Interior is also done tastefully.
However, prices are a bit towards higher side. And you need to book the place before you show up. Also pack some smart casuals to wear for the dinner at Saffron. And then you are all set for a wonderful evening!

Overall I would rate this restaurant 4 stars. Somehow the food was fine. Not overprice. Service ok. Must try the mee goreng and Nasi goreng. Food price in Bintan was Singapore Hotel pricing. It is fine if you are on vacation.
The verandah lounge was nice and there is a band playing every Wednesday night. Good place for coffee, cake and relaxation
Thanks
8. XANA Beach Club

Reviewed By Rick_Yvanovich - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Decided to eat here one evening as we really wanted steak and that was what this place is supposed to be good at.
Problem started with the service. Waiter was a bit challenged in understanding our order or rather we were challenged whether the waiter understood our order!
End result, either clearly no, or the menu here really is daft.
One medium rare steak came out literally raw, the other a medium to well done.
One was ordered with a herb butter and the other with BBQ sauce on the side.
They both came as smothered in BBQ sauce and both with pepper sauce on the side.
When I queried this Iw as told "all our steaks are covered in BBQ sauce"
The steaks are not large at 250gm but when more than half of that is fat / gristle you can get only 1-2 mouthfuls at best.
Both were basically returned uneaten.
The bread was very good though!
I visited 2 years ago and the service was bad, but its now become worse. ITs really strange as other outlets in the hotel have excellent service and one would have through they'd put the best staff at the most expensive restaurant.
Its a real shame as if it could only be done correctly its a great location right on the beach for a fantastic steak.

Located at the golf course in Bintan Lagoon Resort, Haskell's offers good dining choices for resort guests and golfers alike.
They got much variety in the menu. Since it is my first time in Indonesia, I opted for local food - nasi goreng campur. It had seafood fried rice, chili sambal, chicken slice, shallots and garlic, plus fried chicken and fried egg on top of the rice. On the side, it had 2 sticks of beef satay and pickled vegetables.
Good filling meal. Just don't pair it with the strawberry soda. Big mistake. Just stick with the usual local drinks.
Service can be improved. One or two waiters serving close to 20 people is definitely a misunderstanding of customer expectation.
Not bad overall though.
