The usual modest prices and modest portions of a Javanese warung. But the food is tasty and good value for money. And you do not pay for the ambiance: within the town borders yet among paddy fields looking out on Merbabu mountain.
On weekdays people have their little business meetings here, during weekends bu Rini's is a favourite for a family dine-out. Also a good place to relax with just a snack and a cool drink.
You can have a nasi goreng spesial with cool fruit juice for just one euro (USD 1.50). If you choose something from the fish menu, you will spend more.
The warung takes it's name Joglo from the typical Javanese unwalled guest space under a roof with steep center part.
Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., except Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Directions: Jalan Mawar is a dead end branching off from Jalan Imam Bonjol (the road to Muncul swimming pool). From the traffic lights north of the university walk down the bus route to Solo until the next traffic lights. Turn right into Jalan Imam Bonjol. The first bend turns left, the next one right. At this bend walk straight on into Jalan Mawar.

Favorite Dish: Fresh drink: Juice ceria
Soup: Sop buntut

It's in the neighbourhood of the International school, run by Americans, and a favourite of the local expat community. They have the usual Indonesian food, but above that international dishes of better quality than the Indonesians make.

Favorite Dish: Pizza, spaghetti, taco, salads, and a choice of delicious coffees.

Directions: From Osa Maliki bypass take the road to the International School (everyone can point it out). On this road, Jalan Nakula Sadewa, pass by the IS until a main crossing at 2 km from Osa Maliki. Here Jalan Bima is on your right. After 300 m turn into a narrow dead end where The Bizztro with parking is at the end.

On weekdays Kampoeng Kopi Banaran is a favourite rest stop for a cup of coffee and a snack. But is is much more than that. They have about every recreation facility on can think of: swimming pool, tennis court, camp ground, kids' play ground, outbound sports, fruit garden... So on weekends the place is rather crowded with local recreants. And of course you can have your wedding party or business meeting here.
If you want to walk the fruit garden or the coffee plantation, you have to ask for permission, but it is easily given.

Kampoeng Kopi Banaran is a successful agro-tourism project of the state-owned PT Perkebunan Nusantara IX, which runs 15 plantations and 8 sugar factories in Central Java. In colonial times the plantation was known as Asinan.

Favorite Dish: Have a taste of the coffee grown and processed on the grounds. And buy a packet to take home.

Used to be referred as Nasgorsu or "nasi goreng susu" which highly associated to the size of "susu" of the owner. Google this Indonesian word and go figure! This warung is located in front of "Gereja Pentakosta" church. Go straight until the last red-light intersection of Jl. Jenderal Sudirman (kota) and make a right turn.

In this warung you will eat just beside the street and it is very nice to see people and cars passing by. The main dish is "Nasi Goreng" which fried with "iso", "babat", and ... "pete". You could customize your choice, of course. Not everyone fond of Pete but give it a try anyway.

The "nasi goreng iso babat" is the favorite of all, but try the "babat gongso" for another fine eating experience. If you prefer chicken then "nasi goreng ayam" is also delicious. This warung place is open day and night, almost 24 hours straight. Accompany your plate with "es jeruk" for a really pleasant evening dinner!

In the morning, this "Pecel" warung is an excellent place to eat. Opens from 8 to 11 am, it is located just behind the "Madya" theatre. Walk through a (very) small paveway beside the theatre, and you're there. If you took motorcycle with you, park it beside "Madya" for Rp300.

The people at warung Pecel Madya are very nice. No wonder a lot os UKSW students eat there everyday. For the Pecel, you can choose abundant varieties of toppings. From "bakwan jagung", "martabak", to "iso babat"

If you are a growing boy and appears that you like to eat much (like me), best chance is that you are offerred the "Borobudur banjir" or "The flooding Borobudur". Meaning you would eat a lot of rice with flooded peanut sauce. Other thing you should never forget is the "Onclang" fried with duck eggs because you will never find it anywhere else

Favorite Dish: Pecel complete with Onclang egg, Bakwan jagung (corn) served as "Borobudur Banjir"
