About this place Castaway Bar & Restaurant

Castaway Bar & Restaurant is on the beachfront esplanade in Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly bar and restaurant, not a gay venue. It draws a mixed crowd of expats, aid workers and locals for food, drinks and sea views, and Friday has live music. It holds 4.3 on Google from about 190 reviews. Dili has no gay bars, and this is one of the more relaxed places to spend an evening. Same-sex activity is legal in Timor-Leste, but public displays of affection are uncommon.

Great western and (some) asian offerings with lovely service. Check out their daily specials. Been coming here consistently since I was in my teenage years, so I do think that this place is in need of some update/renovation. Can never go wrong with Castaway, though!

Some of the best vibes in Dili. Always great food and service, the squid is some of the best I have had anywhere in the world.

This bar and restaurant has a very good location with a perfect sea view. The staff there is a very polite, friendly and helpful. The menu has everything that is popular and necessary for almost everyone, the quality of all the dishes were good enough (I tried a few positions for 2 days). The atmosphere is also very positive and fun. There are a lot of foreigners there, so it’s not a big deal to meet someone from other country and talk to this person.

The fish burgar is amazing. Fresh and locally caught of course. The beef burgar is equally amazing; actually it is all wonderful. Such a great place. Ideal for sitting all evening and staring at the Timor Sea..... whilst sipping Bintang draught....guzzling.
