"Exquisite Tuna" I did not expect to find delicious tuna dishes in Tondano, one of my favorite lunch and dinner spots.

It was my first visit. The resto is located in the heart of Tondano. Resto layout is open space with roof. Nice place to hang out with family and friends. I ordered coffee and fried banana (pisang raja). The coffee was average but fried banana was nice and sweet.
