Castaways Bar
A long-running hangout for foreign residents on Dili's seafront boulevard, with a terrace overlooking Dili harbor and Atauro Island.
Located on Avenida de Portugal by the sea, upstairs above the Dive Timor Lorosae dive shop and next to the Centro supermarket. It is known for burgers, breakfast, and coffee, with generous portions, and many call it the best burger in the city. The balcony overlooks the harbor at sunset, and there is live music on Friday evenings, when it is often busy and crowded. The downsides are street noise, many smokers, and occasionally slow service. Prices are close to Western levels, and cards are accepted.
