McDonald's, Wendy's, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and KFC are all here at reasonable prices. Italian, Chinese, and some good Korean restaurants are near Citraland. For a western breakfast buffet, head to the Sheraton. Street food at the G-walk and other areas are also good. Lontar street has a good Padang food restaurant and a good Bakso restarant called Manchester. Good Padang-style mud crabs and other seafood items are available at a restaurant on a small lake in Citraland. Street food can be excellent in Indonesia. - Oct 2012

Most Indonesians eat at street side warungs (semi-permanent vendors) or 'kaki lima' carts that are pushed around the city. You can have a filling meal for less than one dollar! Or, go to the malls for restaurants with most meals ranging between $5 and $10 dollars, including well-known western chains. There are a few high-end restaurants, but they don't even come close to justifying their cost. - Oct 2010
