From Our Garden to Your Plate
The All-You-Can-Eat Organic Buffet at Ecovillage Silimalombu
Rp100,000 per person – eat as much as you like
Children 5–10 years: Rp50,000 (half price)
Open every day · 7:00 – 20:00
Our restaurant works the other way around: the menu is not decided in the kitchen,
but in the garden. Whatever is ripe this morning becomes today’s buffet –
picked a few steps from your table, 100% organic, free of pesticides and MSG.
No two days taste the same, and that is exactly the point.
Every meal is a journey through our farm: Western favourites side by side with
Indonesian and traditional Batak dishes, teas and coffee from our own trees,
fresh juices, and specialities you will hardly find anywhere else – like our
famous Pizza Andaliman with the tingling Batak pepper, dishes
enriched with roasted candlenut oilcake (the precious residue of
our candlenut oil pressing, used like ground almonds – nothing is wasted
here), and garden greens such as Ulam Raja, daun
Inggu and pea eggplant.

Our Three Buffet Rules
A buffet from our own harvest deserves a little respect – so we have three simple house rules:
1. Taste everything, take small portions.
Be curious – try every dish, even the ones you cannot identify. Start with a tiny
taste; you can come back as often as you like. The buffet is not going anywhere.
2. Finish what’s on your plate.
Our farmers grow this food for months and our kitchen cooks it for hours – so
please take only what you will eat. If food is left on your plate, an additional
food-waste contribution of Rp100,000 applies (children: Rp50,000).
Small portions, many rounds: clean plate, happy wallet.
3. Skip the tissues.
Instead of tissues we provide sinks with our own eco-soap, made from repurposed
kitchen oil. Washing hands and face is fresher, cleaner – and every tissue you
don’t use keeps the forests around Lake Toba standing as trees, not turning into paper.
Whether you are a foodie, a health enthusiast, or simply hungry after exploring
Samosir – join us for a meal with a view of Lake Toba and a story on every plate.
HORAS – welcome to our table!
