The tastiest food we’ve had in Malaysia so far. Amazing atmosphere, chill vibes and great local coffee. The only vegan options on the island with tempeh and falafel burgers and wraps.

We came here three days in a row for lunch! Lovely atmosphere - really friendly easy going staff. We had the falafel burger, roti and veggie quesadilla - all delicious. Not bad portions but not huge. It was a really lovely space for us to escape the heat and watch the world go by. Very recommended !

We had an amazing time at Chill Out Perhentian during our trip to the Perhentian Islands. It quickly became our favorite hangout spot on Long Beach! The food was absolutely delicious, everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The staff were incredibly friendly, fun, and always made us feel welcome. What really stood out was the chill, laid-back atmosphere and their commitment to sustainability. Most of the decor was DIY, giving the place a unique, cozy vibe that felt really authentic. They were also super helpful whenever we needed anything, whether it was arranging snorkeling trips or just giving local tips, they always had our backs. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re on the island. Chill Out Perhentian definitely lives up to its name!

Great place, great vibes and great food! Had breakfast here for 3 days in a row during our 4 days stay in Perhentian Island. Highly recommend! Both the pancakes and the smoothie bowl are super good. It’s great that you can chill and use the sunbeds if you eat there.

We came here for lunch. The staffs were very kind. We ordered a couple juices, a smashed burger with fries and falafel with fries and salad. The juices are unsweetened and fresh. The burger was a bit too salty for our taste and the falafels were dry. However we didn’t mind as the beach vibe was very chill and we had a great time relaxing.

Chill Out is a great little spot with a relaxed vibe and a beautiful beachfront setting. The staff is super friendly, and the overall ambience makes it a lovely spot to hang out. We tried the breakfast wrap and the smoothie bowl, the smoothie bowl looked promising but it turned out to be a bit too watery. That said, the fresh ingredients and drinks were still on point. Overall, a great spot to chill and grab breakfast or lunch at Long Beach.
