The Global Village Kafe in Lovina Beach Bali IndonesiaAbout:

What could be better than eating good food for a good cause? A meal at The Global Village Kafé is sure to fill your bellies and warm your hearts. The social venture, which opened in May 2013, serves delicious cuisines from at least a dozen countries and uses its profits to help Indonesians living in poverty.

Add brilliant Espresso-based coffee – reputed to be the best in Lovina, and possibly even Southeast Asia – reasonable prices and genuinely friendly staff into the mix, and it’s no surprise that tourists keep returning for more.

The Global Village Kafé, set in a bamboo hut, is equal parts mellow and edgy. Its walls are painted in earthy tones and lined with portraits of great leaders and freedom fighters, including Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevara and Nelson Mandela. Visitors have the option of wooden tables and chairs or comfy couches, which they can lounge on while leafing through a book from a free book exchange.

The café also has a handicraft gallery that features souvenirs for purchase – profits from these go to charity too.

Although portions at The Global Village Kafé are not the largest around, the food is of top quality. The following are some of the dishes and drinks that we would recommend.
Internatonal Food:
  • Egyptian Koshari: From the streets of Egypt, koshari consists of rice, beans and macaroni, topped with tomato garlic salsa, cheese and fried onions.
  •  Chicken/Fish Balti: Balti, said to have originated from the region of Baltistan in Kashmir, northern Pakistan, is a spicy curry that’s served in a flat-bottomed, double-handled steel wok. It is accompanied by unleavened bread and rice.

Drinks:
