Menega Café, Jimbaran | A Classic for Beachside Seafood at Sunset

By Des Res Bali

Is Menega Café the best beachside seafood BBQ in Jimbaran?

One of the OG Jimbaran seafood joints — no gimmicks, no Instagram, just grills firing on the sand and the kind of sunsets that make everything taste better. Menega is the slightly-upscale-but-still-authentic version of the famous Jimbaran BBQ scene: pick your seafood at the counter, find your table on the beach, and let the smoke and sea breeze do the rest.

Come for the grilled clams (everyone talks about them), the prawns, the calamari, the whole-fish moment — or go rogue and get it all steamed if you want the pure, sweet, just-caught flavor. It’s lively, chaotic in a fun way, and somehow still relaxed enough for date night, family dinner, or a honeymoon “we have to do this at least once” meal.

Order at the seafood counter, eat with your toes in the sand, stay for the sky show. Menega keeps it simple — and that’s exactly why it works.
