Agora Food Studio - Dili

This place has thrown me away when I was in Dili, hidden in a language school he serves local products in a very cool environment. Menu is not consistent as changes with seasons, but if you are vegan or vegetarian in Dili, you need to go at least once here.

The food here is amazing! They don't have a menu, they serve daily dishes from the cook. You always have a vegetarian option and it is the cheaper choice for once90% of ingredients are grown locally. They do not use disposable plastic and are overall very environmentally conscious. The staff is beautiful and speaks excellent English. As far as we know, this is the only place in Timor Leste where they serve coffee with soy milk. Yay!

The restaurant has a pleasant concept and the atmosphere is welcoming. The food is gourmet, but the selection is limited to just one dish. The smoothies are pricey for their small size. Overall, the restaurant is expensive considering the portion size and type of cuisine.

What an amazing cafe, with some of the most kind and helpful staff I’ve come to meet. The staff are all proficient in English, which is uncommon in Timor-Leste. I had gotten Agora recommended, and had their tamarind/cinnamon/turmeric juice that was super refreshing. Their staff helped me on multiple occasions, bringing me on motorbike to a cockfighting arena after hearing my curiosity, and driving me out of Dili to Dare. One of their cooks even showed me around the local Taibesi vegetable market. I simply cannot recommend Agora Food Studio enough for anyone visiting Dili.

Nice little sunny hipster cafe, very professional and friendly staff, excellent modern food featuring local ingredients and the coffee from laclubar was really on point. Nice aromatics, even with a milk coffee
