Amalia Restaurant
Restaurante Amália
The most popular small restaurant in Baucau's old town. Its simple, fresh Portuguese and Timorese dishes are cheaper than the guesthouse restaurant.
Located near the Kota Lama market in the old town, you walk through the dining room to reach a courtyard at the back. It serves Portuguese dishes and Timorese home cooking. Grilled fish with rice is a local favourite. Diners say the food is simple but fresh and carefully prepared, and the espresso is surprisingly good. It ranks first among Baucau restaurants on TripAdvisor and is cheaper than the Pousada. No reservations are needed, but opening hours are not fixed, so lunch and dinner are the safest times to visit.
