BW BUS RESTAURANT


Dine In An Actual Bus!

Unique restaurant of converted old buses on top of another serving western health food. Newly opened this year in July 2018.

Restaurants are growing like mushrooms after rain in Sabah to meet the need of increasing international tourists. BW BUS RESTAURANT (or easier remembered as Blue Bus Restaurant) is just another.

How the idea came from? According to FB gossip, the founder find pity to see old buses being rusting in a junk yard and did something in recovery.  The result is this successful restaurant that became a must stop Rest & Go location for Chinese tourists travelling between Ranau and Kota Kinabalu. The restaurant’s new clean toilets became free public toilets to the passing travellers.

Located 10 minutes from Kundasang town, this restaurant is beside the highway. But most travellers may oversee it as the location is beside a winding curve. As your car curve in, you see it but for only few second then out of view as your car curve away.

The buses are designed in modern setting, with small wooden tables and blue cushioned seating, and new air-condition running even though the day temperature is about 24 degrees.

The restaurant attraction not only on foods and free washrooms, another selling point is that you can enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Kinabalu from the bus windows on a clear day.

Even though we did not stop for foods, the friendly staffs welcome us to use the toilets. “FRIENDLYNESS” is part of the selling point of tourist industries in Sabah (and Sarawak) that bring in millions of tourists’ dollars each month.
