Welcome to Cooking on Meno

From island
ingredients to
shared moments.

We built this kitchen because we believe food is the most honest way to understand a place. Gili Meno's quieter pace, its turquoise sea and white-sand beaches, its Sasak heritage — all of it inspires what we cook here.

In a purpose-built, beautifully designed island kitchen, our team guides small groups (max 8) through traditional Indonesian recipes using the freshest ingredients. You don't just cook here — you eat what you make, share stories, and leave with recipes you'll use for life.

"If you're visiting Gili Meno, this cooking class is an absolute must — truly one of the highlights of my entire trip. The setting is magical: beach, ocean, rustic wooden elements and a warm aesthetic that feels authentic and carefully curated. The staff welcomed us like family — kind, attentive, and passionate about sharing their culture. We left with recipe books full of dishes we can't wait to recreate. Don't hesitate — book it."

No, all our classes are designed for complete beginners through to experienced cooks. We adapt to the group and make sure everyone feels confident and comfortable throughout. It's about fun, not perfection.

Absolutely. All three menus can be made fully vegetarian or vegan on request. Just let us know when you book. Chicken is replaced with tofu or tempeh, and we use vegan alternatives for sauces. Same great flavour.

The class includes all ingredients, cooking equipment, drinking water, and the meal you cook at the end. You'll also receive digital recipes to recreate all dishes at home. For larger groups, you'll cook in pairs.

We're located at Divine Divers on Sunset Beach, on the northwest side of Gili Meno — about a 20-minute walk from the harbour or a quick cidomo (horse cart) ride. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, just message us and we'll give you exact directions.

We accept cash (Indonesian Rupiah), credit card, or bank transfer on the day of your class. Several ATMs are available on Gili Meno if you need to withdraw cash before class. A currency conversion link is on the classes section if you'd like to plan ahead.

For relaxed beachfront dining on Gili Meno, Bubbles Bar & Restaurant is our sister spot in the Divine Divers family — fresh island food, sunset views, and a laid-back atmosphere on the west coast.

Divine Divers accommodation offers hand-picked places to stay on and around Gili Meno — from beachfront rooms to quiet retreats — so you can pair your cooking class with diving, snorkelling, and island time.

Yes — just let us know at least 24 hours before your class and we'll be happy to reschedule. If the weather or sea conditions affect your plans, we'll always find a solution. Island life is flexible.
