The Mango Tree

The Mango Tree is a relaxed café on Jl. Labuan Sait close to Padang Padang beach. Its open-sided building catches the breeze, so it stays cool even on hot afternoons, which makes it a pleasant place to sit and recover after the beach.

The kitchen focuses on wholesome food made with organic ingredients and no seed oils, cooking with olive oil instead. Expect breakfast plates and bowls, tacos, salads, steak and other mains, with fresh smoothies, good coffee and a cocktail list for later. A complimentary snack of emping (melinjo crackers) with hummus is a nice welcome. Service is warm and regulars are remembered.

Open daily from 08:00 to 22:00. It is a good choice for health-conscious diners and anyone who wants a calmer alternative to the bigger brunch spots. Padang Padang beach is a few minutes' walk away; parking on the main road is for scooters. It is also a pleasant place for an afternoon cocktail or smoothie while waiting for the evening to cool down.
