Well known for its Acehnese cuisine with 'Ayam Tangkap' as its signature. Literally translated, ayam tangkap means ˜a chicken being caught", which is obvious because otherwise the chicken would not be cooked and devoured. The complete story itself looks like the chicken being caught, chopped and fried with lots of bay leaves and spices that in the end the chicken tastes too good to miss. There are several restaurants in Banda Aceh that serve the meal. Try Rumah Makan Khas Aceh Rayeuk, in Lueng Bhata area, on Jalan Medan-Banda Aceh, 3.5 km to the airport from Banda Aceh. One meal of fried chicken costs Rp. 50,000, a bit expensive by local standards, but worth the taste. You can also treat yourself for a bowl of gule kambing (lamb curry), cooked in a huge pot in front of the restaurant. The lamb cooked in coconut milk full of spices for hours served with steamy rice will definitely spice up your dinner.

This type of restaurant that serves Sumatran cuisine can be found not only in Sumatra, but across the whole archipelago. One noticeable nature of all Rumah Makan Padang is you can see dishes stacked on display in its window. Typically, there is no list or menu. Guests will be seated on a table while the server comes to serve the food in a very distinct style by stacking and balancing the plates on his/her hands like a circus star! Standard menu will include rendang (spicy beef cooked in coconut milk), dendeng (fried sliced-beef), ayam bakar pedas (spicy grilled chicken) and veggies. All meals will be served on the table. You eat what you want, then you pay for what you eat. In Banda Aceh, there are several rumah makan padang such as Rumah Makan Bundo, near Pante Pirak supermarket, just after the bridge.

Rather than having a printed menu, one of the waitresses will bring a blackboard with the list of todays dishes. It is one of the few places in Aceh that serve alcoholic beverages though the wine list is rather limited. Try one of their pan-fried fish or tuna ravioli with spinach, and wash it down with a glass of wine. Dinner for two with a bottle of wine costs around Rp 250,000 to Rp 300,000.

For a meal with appetizer, one of the steaks, dessert and soda or juice drinks, be prepared to pay around Rp 125,000 to Rp 150,000.
