Maruba

Overlooking the lake, Maruba is well worth seeking out for its peerless Batak dishes cooked by the talented proprietor. Barbecue fish, freshwater lobster, na neura (raw fish marinated with candlenut, lime juice and spices) and saksang (chopped pork cooked with spices and pig’s blood) are real local treats. A range of burgers and sandwiches features homemade bread and baguettes.
