If you vacation in Bali, you’ll need transport: mini bus, bus, taxi, car/motorbike rentals. No MRT, no trains (Jakarta might the first to working on it).
Which is why this train-themed restaurant in Jimbaran is extra funny: you won’t ride a train here, but you can eat in one.

Vibe & photo tip
- Exterior: a train carriage façade: very cute, extremely selfieable.
- Interior: not a luxe carriage; it’s a long, narrow dining room with tables and chairs.
- Best time for pics: daylight. One person shoots outside while your friend shoots inside. (Important? debatable. Fun? yes.)
What we ordered (prices I paid; +10% tax & +5% service)
- 🐟 Gurame Acar Kuning IDR 80.000
Gurame (carp) is reliable: tasty flesh, fewer spines.
Their acar kuning (turmeric-pickled style) was good.
Bright and appetizing.
Gurame Acar Kuning
- 🐔 Koloke / Ayam Tepung Asam Manis IDR 60.000
Think karaage meets sweet-sour sauce. Decent, standard comfort.
Koloke / Ayam Tepung Asam Manis
- 🍝 Spaghetti IDR 60.000
Skip. Not the strength here. - 🍙 Nasi Bakar IDR 20.000
Star of the table. Fragrant, smoky, satisfying. Would come back just for this.
Bill check: For 3 people (food + drinks) I paid Rp 346.500 after 10% tax and 5% service. For Indonesian dishes, it’s on the pricier side—you’re paying a bit for the theme.
Pros & cons (speed run)
Pros
🚂 Cute façade; novelty factor for visitors
🍙 Nasi bakar is excellent (great value)
🐟 Gurame acar kuning is solid and flavorful
Cons
💸 Pricey relative to everyday Indonesian food
🍝 Spaghetti not recommended
🚪 Inside is standard dining, not an immersive carriage interior
Tips to “win” your meal
- Come before sunset for the exterior shots and decent indoor light.
- Order Nasi Bakar (+ Gurame Acar Kuning if you’re sharing).
- If you want sweet-sour, Koloke is fine; skip the Spaghetti.
Remember the 10% tax + 5% service so the total doesn’t surprise you.
