De Quake Restaurant & Bar

De Quake is Senggigi's most social restaurant — a large, lively venue on the main strip that combines good food, cold drinks, and regular live music into one reliable evening out. The restaurant rebuilt after the 2018 earthquake (hence the name, worn with local dark humor as a badge of resilience) and has become a focal point for Senggigi's expat community and visiting travelers. The menu is extensive, covering Indonesian, Western, and seafood options. The standout is the slow-cooked BBQ pork ribs — marinated for 24 hours and falling off the bone, served with coleslaw and fries for IDR 85,000. The fish and chips uses fresh local catch in a crispy beer batter, and the nasi goreng is done properly with wok hei and a fried egg on top. The bar is well-stocked with local and imported spirits, and their cocktail list features classics and house creations. Happy hour from 5-7pm offers heavily discounted drinks. Live music plays on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings — usually a Filipino or local band covering everything from reggae to classic rock. The atmosphere is energetic without being overwhelming, attracting a mix of ages and nationalities. Sports are screened on multiple TVs. The restaurant has a pool table that becomes the center of social activity later in the evening. Prices are mid-range: mains IDR 50,000-110,000, beers from IDR 30,000. Credit cards accepted. Air-conditioned indoor seating available for those who find the heat too much.
