If you want to have private dinner with couple, some restaurant gives you romantic sea-view atmosphere that you never experienced before. Some may offer value price of food and beverage but excellent service and unforgettable view still added.
For limited budget travellers, you should try my recommendation to visit Bandar Balikpapan Shopping Center. Here you will find lots of restaurant and cafe that offer great value price of food and beverage but with excellent service and unforgettable view of Balikpapan Bay.
Food stall stands almost everywhere in the city especially at night, this would give you great various eating experience with low expense. Most of best food stalls stand along Klandasan area. Some are located at the famous spots in the city such as Melawai Beach, Bekapai Park, MONPERA, Merdeka Field and Sudirman Field.
