It's actually not called Harry's place - it's just the name of the owner. Harry and his wife makes excellent coffee and banana pancakes for breakfast.
Popular with the locals this place (only open for dinner) serves wonderful Acehnese cuisine. The hosts don't speak much English, but that's ok. Just point to whatever you want, a calculator will show you the price (which is very reasonable). Drinking water is served complimentary, but do try their fresh Juices (Rp6,000).
Dian Rana has a restaurant with a western menu as well with slightly higher prices.

Taxis will take you there from the airport for a "fixed" price of Rp120,000, bargain hard and you'll get close to half that price.
