Alio Beach Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in Batam City

Place is really great and the surroundings are also great , with a really bad taste of food that honestly even a non-cooking person can cook.

So , my first highlight is oftentimes the food. It is really bad , not terrible , but bad. Ordered a mushroom carbonara pasta and what i got is a sad cream pasta. The mushroom isn't even champignons, it's a shitake/matsutake , which is chewy and not at all complementary with the pasta. The cream is...creamy , and does not have any aroma or tastes at all , it's completely bland. Drinks are fine tho , no complain.

Service , it's pretty simple , you order at cashier and pay , then you bring the table number to your seat and the waiters will send you the order as soon as it's ready. Sometimes it's a bit messed up , since i heard they mistaken other table number as our table number , but they didn't serve it so it's fine.

The place , it is literally on the beach , at a reclamation area. You can see a slight sliver of light from singapore and malaysia from here. The beachfront area is not really big like Bali , but it's a pretty good view based on areas around Batam. Wind is pretty strong in evening, so air conditioning is not necessary, and also they only open at 3 PM onwards , so harsh sunlight isn't going to be a problem. Parking space are big , but the overall place itself is pretty far from civilization, it's hard to order gojek/grab from this place.

Overall , will only buy drinks if want to hangout here...

Disappointing Experience at Alio Cafe, Batam!

I recently visited Alio Cafe in Batam, Indonesia, and I'm sad to say that my experience was highly disappointing. From the moment I arrived, the issues started piling up. The food offered was simply not worth the price charged. The quality and taste left a lot to be desired, and the coffee didn't even resemble the flavor of real coffee.

Furthermore, the ambiance of the place was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to enjoy the meal or relax. It's disheartening when the basic comfort of the customers is not taken into consideration.

The service at Alio Cafe was another letdown. There was an incredibly long queue, and the waiting time for both ordering and receiving the food was excessively long. It was frustrating to see such inefficiency in managing the crowd and preparing the orders.

Considering all these factors, I would recommend seeking an alternative cafe located nearby, which is likely to offer a more enjoyable experience in terms of food quality, pricing, ambiance, and service.

I hope that Alio Cafe takes these feedback points constructively and works towards improving their overall...

Alio Beach Café & Bar is a cool spot that mixes three vibes: beach, café, and bar. It’s got a chill, laid-back feel, perfect for kicking back, but it’s right next to the noisy clubs, so it’s not that peaceful. The beach itself is gorgeous, with nice, cool breezes that make you wanna stay all day. The drinks? Really tasty! But it’s kind of a bummer they use disposable cups. They’ve got tons of seating options, which is awesome. You can go fancy with the VIP area, grab a table, chill near the live music, or even sit on cushions on the floor for that beachy vibe. I showed up on a Saturday night around 10 PM, and it wasn’t too packed, which was great for a weekend. Ordering’s done by scanning a QR code, but the app feels like it’s still being worked on—kinda clunky. All in all, Alio’s a solid pick if you wanna hang out by the beach with good drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely worth checking out for a fun,...
