About

Bientang's Cave is a bucket-list spot for the setting alone. You are literally eating in a cave with waves crashing nearby. While the location is world-class, the service and management often leave a sour taste. It is a tourist magnet, so expect high prices and a bit of a 'take it or leave it' attitude from the staff.
