Today's Cafe
A highly rated, budget-friendly eatery in Tuktuk, widely praised for its made-to-order andaliman grilled fish and chicken rendang, with plenty of vegetarian options.
Located at Jalan Lingkar 30 in Tuktuk and run by the owner Juliet, this cafe ranks near the top of Samosir Island restaurants on Tripadvisor. Dishes are made to order in generous portions. Diners frequently rave about the grilled fish with andaliman sauce, chicken rendang, and gado-gado salad. There are also plenty of vegetarian options and fresh juices. The cafe is small and fills up quickly, and because food is prepared fresh, service can be slow—some have waited over an hour, so arriving early is recommended. Prices are budget-friendly; older sources list main courses around 20,000–35,000 IDR, though current prices may be higher. Free Wi-Fi is available, and it is easily accessible on foot.
