Zipp Bar Restaurant & Bungalows

Zipp Bar is one of the longest-running beachfront restaurants on Gili Air, at the southern tip of the island a few minutes' walk from the harbour. Thatched pavilions and rows of sunbeds and umbrellas face the water, and there are bungalows behind the restaurant. It has a 4.2 Google rating from nearly 900 reviews.

The kitchen is best known for its evening barbecue, with fresh fish, seafood and skewers grilled to order and served in generous portions. During the day it works as a beach restaurant, with food and drinks brought to the sunbeds. Happy hour deals on drinks, including buy-one-get-one-free offers, make it a popular stop at sunset, when the south of the island catches the last light.

It is a relaxed place to spend an afternoon on a sunbed between swims. Some reviewers mention slow service at busy times, so allow a little extra time for dinner. Call +62 853 3301 3575 or check its Facebook page for the day's specials.
