Love Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Riau Islands

Seafood price is average (prob about the same from other seafood restaurants, cheaper than A2 food court), serves food really fast and staff are pretty friendly. Only problem is the hygiene - there’re too many flies around it’s hard to actually eat without being pestered. And noticed the washing sink where the water goes right down to the sea? It shares the same water for the aquatic animals they rear at the side. Which means when you washes the soap down, the lobsters, crabs, fishes “drink” the soap water, and then we eat them 😀 but I guess this is very common in South East Asia. (Doesn’t mean it’s a good practice though) The food was pretty good, we tried black pepper crab (0.5kg, cereal prawn, bebek and sambal kangkung for SGD41) Portions are pretty small though. They have a good view of the sea too.

Update: We had very very bad diarrhoea after eating...

Rather long journey to the restaurant. We need to drive through a poorly lit narrow road before reaching the restaurant. Quite worried initially, we wondered where the driver brought us haha..

We were greeted by a team of friendly service staff when we reached the restaurant. The place was breezy since it was located by the seaside. We were served by an indo chinese staff who took our orders, hence no worries if you can't speak beharsa indo.

We have ordered the usual seafood stuff and they were of reasonably good standards. You can expect the seafood items to be very fresh. Our favourite were pepper crabs and steamed red garoupa fish.

Service staff were attentive and very friendly. Pricing is reasonable compared to seafood restaurants near the harbour area. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet and cosy place for good...

This place is absolutely stunning. From the views to the food itself.

The staffs greets you warmly and showed us their live seafood stocks. There was a lot to choose from. We had a lobster, some crabs and shrimps, and two fishes. The lobster and the fish were absolutely packed.

Very much recommend their Black Pepper Crab and the "Cabe Garam" shrimps! They were really delicious.

The place is also incredibly huge, plenty of seats around the area. You can even look at their livestock while you wait, and you can feed them too for 10k IDR!

Only complaint is just the staff that took our order had one of our drinks wrong (I asked for an iced Honey Lemon but got a hot instead), and missed the Avocado Durian (which we did told them about it). They were good though.

Aside from that, we would definitely...
