When it comes to food, Bintan Island has a stupendous variety of dishes. So even if you have an ultra-sensitive stomach that can’t really take strange, exotic local food, you needn’t worry as there are plenty of restaurants around the island that serve more familiar international favourites.

In fact, most of the resorts here have their own food and beverage outlets that serve an astounding array of international cuisine, from Asian to Mediterranean, so you don’t need to venture out far in search for something to eat.

Independent, non-resort restaurants can be mainly found in Tanjung Pinang, generally with good and friendly service. For a true local dining experience, Tanjung Pinang is unbeatable in terms of variety and quality.
