We were staying in the area where choices are somewhat limited but we'd found good reviews for the lake on TA. The setting is lovely with a large open air dining area overlooking the lake. The choice of food was good with different dishes for...different palates. Our whole group enjoyed their meals and the service was friendly and efficient.More

Friendly and helpful staff who speak excellent English. Good food at a reasonable price, and a great setting next to a lake surrounded by jungle.

The quality of food is mediocre. For example, the croissants served at the breakfast were totally uncooked and uneatable! The supply is not well managed, some items were not available for three consecutive days. Some waitresses were irritating. The location is wonderful. What a shame!

A little hidden gem! After a morning visit to the Sepilok Orangutan ans and Sunbear sanctuary’s, we located the restaurant which was on a short walk away. Good quality food and drink amongst a chilled out location.

Pizza is incredible. My girlfriend and I both agreed we had the best pizzas we had ever eaten, and we both had different pizzas. She had the vegetarian which has a pumpkin purée base, I had the satay chicken pizza which was insane. Prawn cocktail...starter was very tasty too. By far the best option in sepilok.More

We dined at The Lake Bistro and Bar two times, once when we visited the sun bears and orangutans and once when we visited the rainforest discovery centre. Our tour guide at the Kinabatangan River recommenced the restaurant for its good food and views. We...were not disappointed. We loved the variety of food options and the food was delicious and well presented. We also loved the fresh juices. For those that care, there are American food options, such as burgers, pasta, and French fries. They also serve alcoholic beverages. Staff spoke great English and were professional. A meal was more expensive than many of the restaurants we dined at in the town center of Sandakan, but still not expensive relative to American prices. Lunch for two ran around 90 MYR or $22USD. We liked that the restaurant accepted credit cards, which is rare in Sandakan.More

We were staying at the Sepilok Nature Resort - so ate here for all meals. All good! Breakfast is not buffet (which was a nice change), you chose what you want from a set list. Very western .. but all very good. Dinner is also...good. A small set menu with a few specials. We had Satay one night - curry another. I also had a great spicy prawn cocktail for an appetiser one night. Their drinks and cocktails are also very good - and considering how isolated they are - the prices are reasonable too.More
