When you come to Yogyakarta, one local food you absolutely cannot miss is “Gudeg.” It’s a dish characterized by its sweet and savory flavor, made by slow-cooking young jackfruit with coconut milk and spices. But did you know that there’s also a Gudeg that isn’t too sweet?
Oh, really! I’ve heard that many people find it too sweet, so I’m curious!
Today, I’m going to introduce “Gudeg Sagan,” which is a huge favorite among Jogja residents. Among the many Gudeg restaurants, this is one I especially want to recommend, and I’ll tell you all about its charms!
This article provides a detailed introduction to the charms of the popular Gudeg restaurant in Yogyakarta, “Gudeg Sagan.” It covers all the information you’d want to know before your trip, including access methods, menu, prices, and the restaurant’s atmosphere. I’ll also carefully explain what makes it different from other Gudeg restaurants and what makes it a great choice for foreign visitors.
While many Gudeg are very sweet, Gudeg Sagan’s is relatively mild. The deep richness from the perfect harmony of coconut milk flavor and spice aroma is just right for many foreigners. For spice lovers, adding sambal to change up the flavor is also recommended!
Hearty Portions at a Reasonable Price!:
Not only is it delicious, but the pricing is also attractive. It’s a great point that you can enjoy a full meal of Gudeg without breaking the bank. (Example: Nasi Gudeg Ayam Paha/Dada from Rp. 20,000)
Open Late! Great for Dinner Too:
No need to worry even if your sightseeing in Yogyakarta runs late! Gudeg Sagan is open until 11 PM, making it perfect for dinner. Soothe your tired body with a warm bowl of Gudeg.

Voices from Social Media
A Gudeg shop bustling with locals. Regular Gudeg is dark brown and sweet, but this one is ochre-colored and a little spicy. This is also delicious in its own way.
My favorite Gudeg place in Jogja! It’s always crowded. The atmosphere of the shop is great, and on some nights there’s a live band.
Compared to other Gudeg restaurants, Sagan’s less sweet seasoning and late-night hours are major differences. The clean interior where you can dine comfortably is also a secret to its popularity.
