Soto Garuda
A long-running Padang soto shop open since 1976, serving clear broth with beef chunks, rice vermicelli and crispy fried beef lung. A top choice for affordable breakfast or lunch.
Opened in 1976 at 110 S. Parman Road in North Padang, it is one of Padang's best-known soto padang shops. The clear beef bone broth comes with beef chunks, potatoes and rice vermicelli, topped with crispy fried beef lung, and is served with steamed rice and potato fritters. Portions are generous and prices fair. Locals fill it at breakfast and lunch. Tables turn over quickly and no reservations are needed. Closed on Fridays. About a 10-minute taxi ride from downtown, not far from Lamun Ombak, so it is easy to fit into the same route.
Opening hours
Sat–Thu 7:00–21:00, closed Fridays
