Eating and drinking

Yogya's specialities are
ayam goreng
and
nasi gudeg
(rice and jackfruit), and many foodstalls serve nothing else. Every evening a
food market
sets up on Jalan Malioboro, and by 8pm the entire street is thronged with diners. Beware of being overcharged, and note that in many of the larger
lesehan
places (where you sit on the floor by low tables), particularly those by the end of Jalan Sosro, diners pay restaurant prices. The stalls by the train station and on the top floor of the Malioboro Mall are cheaper. Jalan Sosro and Jalan Prawirotaman are chock-full of good-quality
restaurants
asking reasonable prices (about Rp3000 for nasi goreng). Most of these restaurants open from midday until about 10pm.
If you're looking for a drink, try the
Laba Laba
on Jalan Prawirotaman, an over-priced restaurant and
bar
, with weird cocktails a speciality. The
Borobudur Bar,
on Jalan Pasar Kembang by the northern end of Sosro Gang I, is one of the few places that stays open beyond midnight, attracting locals, expats and tourists. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
