Warung Bu Suta

For babi guling — Balinese-style spit-roasted suckling pig — Warung Bu Suta is a local favourite, tucked into one of Lombok's Balinese-Hindu neighbourhoods (a reminder the island is more than its Sasak majority). The pork is slow-roasted with turmeric, lemongrass, garlic and chilli until the skin crisps and the meat stays tender, then served with rice and sambal.

It's a no-frills warung where you eat what's cooked fresh that day, so arrive at lunch while it's at its best. For travellers who eat pork — uncommon in Muslim-majority Lombok — it's a rare and delicious find, and a window into the island's Balinese heritage.
