Where to Eat in Puncak Pass?

Since Puncak Pass is one of the most favorite vacation destinations in the land of Sunda, there are plenty of restaurants you can choose: from a global fast food chain to a family-owned restaurants, from Indonesian food such as Sundanese or Padang, to Chinese, European, or Far-East cuisines.

In my opinion, there are two types of places to eat in Puncak. First, inside the places of interest you visit. Most of them will not let their visitors bring outside food and drink, so, it is not a question whether the food are delicious, it is more of whether the place  is attractive and enjoyable. 

The second type is the restaurants where you go because of its delicious food. If the restaurants have beautiful view, that would be a bonus ;-) Are there many restaurants like this in Puncak?

This is one of the older restaurants in Puncak. It serves various Indonesian cuisines, but its special menu is satay. 

Rindu Alam has the best view of the tea plantation in Puncak. It is located on top of a slope, so the window seats on the terrace has the best view as long as you can stand the constant cold breeze. It seems many people can't stand the cold, so the restaurant put up fiber glass walls all over the terrace. Unfortunately now the fiber glass is not clear anymore, which blurs the view. 

The better view is actually at the edge of the parking lot. We get an unobstructed gorgeous view of the tea plantation here, as long as you don't look down, where too many trashes pile up there.

Puncak Pass resort is the pioneer of hotel and restaurant in Puncak. They opened since 1928 and until now they have not changed the recipes and the look. So, many people come to the restaurant to reminisce the old-time cuisines such as Poffertjes, Pannekoek (pancakes), and Bitterballen. The restaurant, especially its terrace, is a great place for hang out with family and friends.
