This stylish upmarket place, built on stilts above the waters of Jayapura bay and filled with Papuan tribal art, is where locals come when they want to impress. The wide-ranging menu takes in Indonesian and Chinese, but is mostly about seafood priced by weight. If you’re not eating, at least come for a drink on the deck.
