Why Travelers Love The Banyan

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.4 / 5.0(2,073 reviews)

The Banyan Tree was definitely our favourite cafe we visited in Gili Trawangan!! They had so many different food and drink options to choose from, in which you can customise to your taste too! They also offer freshly made pastries and bakes on the counter! The staff were helpful and the food was delicious! It also is a great location on the island just on the sea front with outdoor and indoor seating options. I’d definitely recommend eating here!! Amazing brunch experience 🤩 Delicious food, great coffee and a beautiful atmosphere surrounded by nature. Everything was fresh and nicely presented. The service was friendly and the place feels very relaxing, perfect for a peaceful morning. Definitely one of the best brunch spots we tried in Bali. I recently had a very positive experience here. During my stay in Gili, I visited several times for breakfast and was always satisfied. Contrary to some of the negative reviews I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating (adjusted my order, for example, adding more vegetables). The breakfast options were varied and of good quality. Prices are on the higher side, this is to be expected given the restaurant’s location right at the jetty and along the main street.

We really enjoyed the gluten-free lasagna – it was delicious! The portion was quite small though, so I would keep that in mind when ordering. The service was good, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The bathroom, however, was very disappointing: it was small, not clean, and didn’t match the otherwise nice atmosphere of the restaurant. Still, it’s a lovely spot for a coffee and a quick bite.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious food and great service at The Banyan Tree I had a lovely experience at The Banyan Tree. The service was really friendly and attentive – the staff made me feel welcome right away. I ordered a smoothie bowl and it was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the area, which made it even better. Overall, it was a great spot for a relaxed and tasty meal. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Gili T
