Has one of the better menus and probably the best pizzas in Dili. Once the music starts though it can get quite loud.

Castaway have a good variety of style in their menu, price ok for burguers and very good for pizza, their coffee is also good and they have a nice view. It can be noisy at happy hour times. Service is good but the girls need to rush less, we feel they want us out too quickly!

Great for watching the sea and the traffic. Good staff and an extensive menu. You don't necessarily know how the food will end up but it's usually good. The pizzas are particularly good but the range is limited.

Just a normal place to eat. Nothing remarkable about this place apart from the fact that clients were all expats.
