Love love love this hillside restaurant
I came across this beautiful hillside restaurant on the same day we went to visit a UNESCO world heritage site, Prambanan temple, which was located nearby. It was a nice treat to sit back and relax at the restaurant with the most amazing view any visitors could asked for. Overlooking the villages below with vast rice fields and majestic Gunung Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia, and a glimpse of the tallest Prambanan temple. Listening to the wonderful songs of singing birds with a backdrop of a distant mosque praying time. The restaurant is surrounded by beautiful garden and birdlife.
We came here after spending 2-3 hours exploring the Prambanan temple site. We had a couple of refreshments and a nasi goreng seafood for a light snack. It is not cheap but it’s worth that little bit extra for a nice experience surrounded by beautiful gardens and stunning views. And, the experience of getting there and back by passing through a local village with rice fields on either side of a narrow street. It’s definitely worth making a trip to Abhayagiri restaurant.
