Hatulela Local Food is a community food project in Makili (Maquili), on the east coast of Atauro Island. A group of women from eleven households prepare traditional Timorese meals for visitors, using vegetables from their own gardens where possible.

Good to know

  • Where: Aldeia Fatulela, Suco Makili, Atauro. Makili is a drive or boat ride from the ferry landing at Beloi, so plan transport in advance.
  • Booking: meals are cooked for visitors rather than served from a fixed menu, so call ahead to arrange a time and number of people.
  • Prices: not published; agree the price when you book.
