If there’s one meal you should have in Bali it’s eating seafood at Menega Cafe on Jimbaran Beach at sunset.

It’s a little frenetic in the beginning as you have to make your way past the seafood display and into the restaurant to get your table and then you have to return to the front with your table number and decide how much seafood you want and how you want it cooked.

I started off strong with a fresh coconut and a Bintang radler and the food arrived soon after. First up were half a kilo of these grilled prawns that were super smoky and so juicy, then the grilled clams with the most insanely delicious sticky sauce.

Even though I was solo dining I also added a steamed crab with an out of this world garlic butter sauce, the crab was incredible and so meaty.

I also got a serving of rice and some kangung water spinach and all up my bill was 63AUD. Highly recommended but definitely arrive early for the best sunset views in Bali.
