While Pak Yayat 86 itself offers basic, home-cooked Indonesian meals, we strongly encourage venturing out to the local warungs nearby for an authentic taste of Sulawesi cuisine. Don't miss trying Coto Makassar or Konro Bakar from a street vendor; the flavors are sensational and truly part of the local experience.

How accessible is Pak Yayat 86 from Makassar, and what transportation do you recommend for getting there safely?

We find the easiest and safest way to reach Pak Yayat 86 from Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG) in Makassar is by pre-arranging a private car or using a ride-hailing app like Grab. The journey typically takes about 1-1.5 hours, offering scenic views as you approach the park entrance.
