Where the sun warms the sea and time drifts with the tide, Lombok invites you to slow down and savour. Here, on this tranquil island, every meal is a quiet celebration — a dance of local bounty and timeless craft. At the best place to eat in Lombok, flavours whisper of the earth and sea: spices carried on the breeze, olive oil gleaming like morning light, wine poured with care and conversation. Each dish is an ode to simplicity, shaped by the island’s rhythm and the
artistry of those who call it home.

Among our most cherished companions, the Formica Alta Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Carma — golden, pure, and full of soul — graces our artisanal breads, a final brushstroke on a canvas of taste. Here, dining isn’t just done. It’s felt.

Exceptional Fine Dining on Lombok

Welcome to Flavors Restaurant, where the art of dining meets the soul of Lombok. Here, each meal is a quiet celebration; an invitation to pause, to taste, and to feel the island’s rhythm unfold through every dish.
Unique and dangerously romantic, Flavors is more than a restaurant; it is an experience unlike any other in Lombok. The soft ocean breeze, the flicker of candlelight, and the symphony of island ingredients come together to create a dining moment that lingers long after the last bite.
At the heart of it all stands Chef I Wayan Jiwa Raga, a passionate Indonesian chef whose culinary journey began in the kitchens of The Oberoi Hotel Group and Mozaic Restaurant Bali. His creations reflect a deep respect for tradition, elevated with a touch of modern artistry — a balance between authenticity and imagination.

Where Taste and Tranquility Meet

Formica Alta – Extra Virgin Olive Oil by ‘Carma’

‘Carma’ is an organic permaculture project founded in 2000 in the valley of Civita di Bagnoregio. Giulio di Gropello and Gianluca Pizzo purchased the first abandoned plot with 600 olive trees. Giovanni Bulgari joined in 2008.
All three share a love for nature. They are also the most passionate consumers of their own products.

The mission of the “3 G’s” – Giulio, Gianluca, and Giovanni – is simple: produce excellence and protect nature. Today, Carma nurtures 7,000 olive trees and 80 hectares of cropland. Their estates in Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany form the “Olive Oil Triangle” logo.

Carma’s oils reflect their philosophy.

Giovanni’s roots remain in luxury. His father still chairs the family company and serves on the LVMH advisory board. Giovanni worked there for eight years after graduating, mastering jewellery creation and production in Rome.

But the city never felt like home. The countryside called to him. In 2005, he left Rome for Tuscany, settling near a vineyard he had purchased the year before.
