PANTE MENYE, Central Aceh tourism icon.

Hello everyone, how are you? Hope you are all well and healthy always. On this occasion I would like to review a cafe located on the edge of the lake Lut Tawar, Aceh.

After spending the night at the campsite on the shores of Lake Lut Tawar, we still couldn't get over the beautiful natural beauty. Before we left our mark around the lake, we still wanted to find a nice spot that we could document together. We visited a cafe set up on the edge of the lake.

Cafe "PANTE MENYE" was one of the cafes we wanted to visit at that time. This cafe went viral on social media which was uploaded by several Tiktok account users several years ago, because it has a very good aura for taking photos with a natural scenery in the background. Even though this cafe is built from wood, it has quite elegant architecture. From several years ago until now, this cafe still stands strong without any changes.

PANTE MENYE Cafe is designed quite aesthetically, making it an eye-catcher for tourists. However, the designer did not only design a cafe building, but also a pier on the lake. The existence of a pier on the edge of the lake provides an opportunity for tourists to board a boat and take it to the middle of the lake so that tourists can more freely enjoy the natural beauty.

Upon arriving at the location, we parked our vehicle in the space provided. After that we immediately moved into the cafe area. At that time, the waiter enthusiastically served our arrival by offering several types of food available. Our stomachs still felt very full because before when we came here, we took the time to have breakfast first, so we only ordered drinks.

After ordering drinks we entered the dock area. In the pier area there are also tables and chairs so that visitors can enjoy food in the open area. While waiting for our order to arrive, we also had time to take some photos. Other tourists also do the same thing, because this place really provides beautiful views.

Finally, our order arrived and the waiter immediately placed it on the table. We ended our photo-taking activities and immediately enjoyed the coffee we ordered. One of the advantages of this cafe is the coffee taste which is just right. Because the cafe is located in Central Aceh district, which is one of the best coffee bean producers in Indonesia, which is often called Gayo coffee.

While we were enjoying the beautiful moment accompanied by a cup of coffee, suddenly the waiter at the pier offered us to board their boat. Previously, we had asked about the price per person to be able to ride the boat. The person offered us a price of 25,000 rupiah or equivalent to 8,91 steem per person. They also put life jackets on us for comfort and safety. We sailed across the waters to the middle with a boat driven by a local officer, only making one round. But we did not waste this moment and continued to take photos as documentation of our togetherness.
