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.

Gili Meno — the hidden paradise
No cars, no noise, no rush. A laid-back island paradise made for slow days and unforgettable sunsets. Crystal-clear water, sea turtles, underwater statues — and the best cooking class in the archipelago.

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.
