Food in Batam Islands is one of the many reasons people visit this beautiful paradise. The island has various food stalls lined up on the footpath, selling a wide variety of seafood and authentic Indonesian cuisines like Nasi Goreng, etc. or some awesome cafes & bars where you can enjoy live music over a couple of drink and sumptuous cuisines. One such beautiful cafe & bar in Batam Islands is the Oregano Cafe & Bar.
During my recent visit to Singapore , I also visited the beautiful Batam Islands, which are just 45-minutes of ferry ride away from Singapore.

Food at Oregano Cafe & Bar
Food at Oregano Cafe & Bar was delicious and decently priced. During my visit to the cafe, I ordered Kwetiau Goreng Ayam, which tasted a little like Pad Thai only and was rice noodles with seafood, chicken, and veggies. Apart from this, I had long island ice and Bintang beer. And my friend Ajay had Fu Yung Hai, which was a vegetarian dish with veggies and rice and whose taste I do not remember.
Our total damage was IDR 244,200, which is around USD 17. Generally, I liked the cafe not only because of its food and drinks but also because of its beautiful ambiance, service, and location.
So, whenever you visit Batam Islands, do not forget to visit the Oregano Cafe & Bar. You can easily find it just beside the Nagoya Hill Hotel.
