Molina's Cafe — Restaurant in Sabang

When I was far away from home, Molina’s cafe offered a place of healing and rest. After going up some stairs, I could smell the fragrant spices of the dish that Molina was preparing. We were immediately met with Molina’s wide smile and excitement of sharing her homemade dishes. And after a long day of diving, we just asked to be served her special menu of the day.

While waiting for the food we enjoyed the breeze and the beautiful view of Iboih beach. There is even a hammock and a space to do yoga. And Molina’s kitchen reminds me of my Mom’s kitchen with all its fine and healthy ingredients.

To our suprise, Molina prepared a delicious pumpkin soup and a mouthwatering potato gratin. Something we surely did not expect on the furthest island in Indonesia.

Molina offers amazing food that is homemade, freshly prepared, and using the best ingredients available. My favourite so far has been the homemade garlic bread with tasty guacamole. For dessert I can’t recommend enough Molina’s mango ice cream. Don’t forget to try her lemonade.

I am especially thankful for Molina’s kindness and hospitality as I wasn’t in my best health when I visited her cafe. Her homemade yoghurt healed my stomachache.

Now that I’m on the way back to my real home, Molina and her cafe feels like a dreamy place too good to be true. It has certainly become one of the main reasons for me to come back to Iboih. I...

We loved our visits to Molina’s Restaurant on Pulau Weh! The espresso is absolutely excellent – smooth, strong, and made with care. The staff (and Molina herself!) are incredibly kind and welcoming, which made us feel right at home.

The breakfasts are delicious, the curries are packed with flavor, and everything feels freshly made. Down by the road, there’s a cute little espresso bar setup where you can grab a quick coffee – and just next to it, there’s a small staircase leading up to the restaurant. It’s easy to miss, but totally worth the climb!

Once you’re up there, you’ll find a cozy terrace with a beautiful view of the sea and some of the tastiest food in the area. Just follow the stairs up for a great meal. Highly...

We went to Molina's twice 2 days in a row. One night we came just to have hot drinks: they have a great taste ginger (fresh not instant - rare in Aceh) and our friend had their coffee booster. In the morning we came again for breakfast as our friend told us they had the best pancake in Sabang, and so truee! We had a really great banana pancake and Acehnese traditiinal coffee. We love their cute little cafe and the decor. Also the warmest hospitality from ibu Molina and love the mother & son duo in the kitchen! Definately recommend if u...
