About
us
Nestled right at the start of the Senaru Waterfall Trail, Café Rinjani Dawn is more than just a place to eat, it's a place to pause, breathe in the mountain air, and take in one of Lombok's most spectacular views before or after your trek. Whether you're fueling up for an adventure up Mount Rinjani or unwinding after a day exploring the waterfalls, our terrace offers a front-row seat to the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Behind the kitchen is Head Chef Rendi, who brings together fresh, local ingredients and traditional Indonesian flavors with international favorites, from hearty curries and fried rice to wood-fired pizzas and burgers. Every dish is made with care, and our friendly staff are always on hand to help you find something you'll love, whether that means a recommendation, a question about what's in a dish, or simply a warm welcome.
We're proud to offer a wide range of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options across our menu, so everyone in your group can find something delicious, no matter how they eat. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and let the mountain views do the rest.
Since 2024
Our History
How it all started
Café Rinjani Dawn opened its doors in Senaru in 2024, born from a simple idea: to share the rich flavors of local Senaru cuisine with the travelers passing through on their way to Mount Rinjani. Helmed by Nur, alongside Head Chef Rendi and a small team of six dedicated staff, the restaurant blends Senaru's traditional dishes with international favorites, all served against a backdrop of breathtaking rice terraces and some of Lombok's most stunning natural views.
Our story, though, begins a decade earlier. Since 2014, Rinjani Dawn Adventures, founded by Nur's husband Saefudin Zohri (known to everyone simply as "Aef") has been a trusted name in responsible tourism on Lombok, guiding trekkers up Mount Rinjani with a deep commitment to ethical, sustainable travel. That reputation, recognized by features in National Geographic and AirAsia Magazine, laid the foundation for what Café Rinjani Dawn would become: a place where the same care and hospitality that built Aef's trekking company now welcomes every guest who sits down for a meal.
Today, Café Rinjani Dawn and Rinjani Dawn Adventures work hand in hand, offering visitors not just a place to refuel, but a complete Lombok experience, from the summit of Rinjani to the table.Our
