Soto Rio (Soto Daging) Kodim is a must-visit culinary gem located in Dompu, Nusa Tenggara Barat. This spot specializes in Soto Daging, a clear beef broth soup that stands out with its refreshing, non-coconut milk base, offering a lighter yet deeply satisfying flavor experience. Unlike typical soto variants laden with santan, Soto Rio presents a pure, bright broth highlighted by tender beef chunks, aromatic spices, and a zingy touch of lime.

What truly elevates the dish is the accompanying sambal cabe and ketupat, adding a perfect balance of spice and texture that leaves you comfortably full well into the afternoon. Beyond the food, the restaurant’s serene and spotless environment enhances the dining experience, making it ideal for travelers and locals alike. As a food reviewer, I find Soto Rio’s approach to traditional soto both authentic and revitalizing – a fresh take that respects the roots while inviting new admirers to savor its clean, bold flavors.
