Forks Out: The Best Restaurants & Warungs on Gili T 🍴🌴

Let’s be real: yes, Gili T is all about sunsets, scuba diving, and questionable decisions at 3 a.m., but let’s not forget the most important thing… FOOD. Because after biking around the island in 30-degree heat or surfacing from a dive where a turtle gave you side-eye, you’re going to be hungry. Luckily, Gili T has everything from $1 Nasi Campur that will change your life to beach clubs where you can pretend you’re in a Vogue Bali photoshoot while sipping a fancy cocktail.
