As a regular at El Bombon, I had a truly wonderful time during Gin Garden 69. Not only did I have a spread of BBQ, salads, bread, desserts, and drinks, I also got to enjoy the live music! Acel and the Band had smooth vocals to liven up the night. Great music complementing my food experience - YES!

If you feel like spending 57 EUR on a cup of coffee, a juice and 5 samosas.Then this the place for you. This can get you a three course dinner in any other better Jakarta restaurant.
Food quality is mediocre and certainly nowhere near the price tag. 1 star based on the atrocious price quality ratio.

It’s highly recommended to be the place to unwind especially after working hours.
The Bar is located in Gran Melia Jakarta the luxury brand of Melia Hotels International.
I was joining the BBQ night with full of variety and the ambiance so nice and relaxing.
I love the bakery corner where you can have more cakes and desserts for your end.
Will come back again and thanks to Lalu Topan the friendly Guest Experience Manager who always assist and give the warm welcome.

When you have time to sit for good coffee, great desserts. For your morning or afternoon break, or for a quick meeting. Not if you are in a hurry and just wants fast service, you will not be able to enjoy the experience.

I visited El Bombon during their 'Chill and Grill' promotion where they had a generous selection of Spanish tapas and dishes including the famous Paella. For a price of Rp. 188,000++ for F&B, the price is highly competitive considering what's being offered: Large shrimp, fresh mussels, a variety of dry-cured ham, premium bread, grilled meats, and desserts - all Spanish-inspired. Combined with the music and ambience of the outdoor cafe, it's a great to enjoy some free time amidst the Jakarta bustle.
I definitely recommend it to anyone who's dropping by the Kuningan area!

Visiting this cafe during my stay in Gran Melia Jakarta.
I was looking for place serving afternoon tea at that moment and the staff recommending this cafe to us.
The cafe is not really big and has outdoor and indoor area, but it was quiet at the time I visit, probably because it was holiday season and Gran Melia is mainly serve as business hotel.
They serve coffee, tea, bread, pastries, cake, gelato, even ala carte dinner and lunch here.
A complete package for everything you need. Seating area is nice and not very crowded in arrangement. All seats are sofas and lounger if I'm not wrong, so its more fit as a place for casual lunch or dinner, or just to hangout and have some drink or afternoon tea with your friends or colleague.
Price wise its very reasonable, actually I was pretty amazed when I saw the menu and see their price is actually at the same range as famous coffee shop chain that we usually see at shopping mall.
Its very reasonable considering its in 5-stars hotel right in the heart of business district.
I recommend you to visit this cafe for afternoon tea or quick drink if you stay in Gran Melia Jakarta or happens to be around.
Really worth the money.
