Monster

Aceh


A part of the Spanish-run Monster Divers dive shop, this relaxed beachside cafe does Catalonian-influenced dishes such as yellowfin-tuna burgers with brava sauce (spicy aioli), escalivada (smoky grilled vegetables) and creama catalana (egg custard pudding), along with salads and other international mains. Look out for their themed nights, when they cook up anything from paella to pizzas.
