Wae Cicu Bar — Restaurant in East Nusa Tenggara

Good place to just chill out for a day. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, a bit too salty to my taste but portions are good and appropriately spiced. Not a lot of vegetarian options. There is a beach in front which is not really suitable for snorkeling (not much to see, dead coral) and there is some trash, but the part in front of the restaurant is clean and a lot of people were lounging around and swimming. There is a swing, cute flowerpots and a lot of seating options too. They also rent out paddle boards which is amazing. You can use this to paddle a bit further to the island across, here you’ll find a lot of gorgeous and shallow coral reefs.

A point of improvement for 5 stars: There were only a few trash cans around which were already full and the clean up of your table after finishing a meal takes a while, resulting in you ending up with a lot of rubbish on your table after a few meals. No napkins were provided with the cutlery.

Note: You also have to pay for the entrance of the beach which was 40k for 2 persons. Might not be a lot for some people but does seem a bit silly as the beach looks a bit run down and there is quite a bit of trash in the water and around the beach. Would have liked to see that the fee was translated into a nice maintained and...

You have to wait some time for your dish but in a chill place like this is definitely not a problem. Don't understand the people who pretend to be in a McDonald's... so stupid. Price is very cheap as mie goreng seafood is 40k and grilled fish (grouper) only 65k extremely fresh directly from the town fish market and cooked deliciously. The location is awesome and very relaxing, the sea is very calm, perfect for a swim. Most of the time there's live music in the afternoon that make the atmosphere so good. Just 5 min from the city...

How can you not get amongst live music, cheap booze and perfect sunsets!?

Waecicu Beach rocks. The vibes are super high, the water is clear and calm and the whilst the food isn’t as great as everything else it’s cheap and delicious. There’s a live band every Wednesday and Sunday (stayed here May 2025) playing local and popular reggae beats. We’ve been staying here a month and would recommend it to every single person I know.
