This humble little open air restaurant’s popularity is obvious with its interior décor of foreign flags and customer autographed t-shirts, that hang from just about every place to set a nail. But the reason the Cactus is so popular is the menu as well as their welcoming ambiance. They have a large selection of breakfast favorites, coffees from Americano to Espresso, teas and juices. Breakfast and lunch are served until 1pm. The Cactus reopens for dinner at 4pm until late with Asian and Western dishes to satisfy any customer.
*Open: Daily 8:00am – 1:00pm & 4:00pm – 1:00am Tel: (01)2 477 3098 (across from Holiday Villa Resort)
Located in Pantai Tengah, at Tropical Resort Langkawi, this not-so-hidden cafe gem is a must visit. The spacious Tokopi has plenty of seating to accommodate groups or more intimate dining. The glassed-in walls offer expansive views of the surrounding resort grounds and passersby making it great for people watching. But aside from the refreshing minimalist décor, Tokopi’s menu is an eclectic selection of Asian fusion, Western, and traditional Malay cuisine which will leave you wishing your stomach was bigger, because it’s a tough decision. First timers can’t go wrong trying the Roti Sarang Burung (Bird Nest Roti), which (in my opinion) is absolutely wonderful.
Breakfast is served from 7:30am until 11:00am, but roti dishes are also available from 3:00pm until 6:00pm. Tokopi is open every day from 7:30am until 12:00am. In addition to hearty breakfast choices, they also offer soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, pastas and more. Alcohol is not served at this café, but there are plenty of coffees, teas and non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. Tokopi also has a bakery on site offering a variety of pastries. *Open: Daily 7:30am – 11:00pm Tel: +6019-474 3770
Bobi’s Restaurant has gone through a few name variations over the years, but rest assured if the name ‘Bobi’ is attached, you’ve come to the right place. And definitely a name you can trust when it comes to food. Located in Pantai Tengah, Bobi’s Restaurant (aka Bobi’s Beach Café or Bobi’s Kitchen Langkawi) serves a diverse selection of Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai and International cuisine.
The Asian Lemon Chicken is a particular favorite of Team Island Drum, but we can also recommend the Thai Seafood Tomyam Gong, as well as the Grilled Chicken Salad. They also have vegetarian menu choices, such as Vegan Burgers and Vegan Green Curry. Bobi’s open-air venue and island vibe ambience is perfect. The dishes are beautifully presented, great prices and excellent customer service.
