They have thematic place of Old Batavia (Jakarta) in 1950-1970. Foods are Indonesian authentic from Traditional to semi modern menu. Price is mid-range level.

This is a good place for hang out for dine or even just for meet up with friends.

Highly recommended place!

Aim to get here early so you can get a table with the view. English speaking staff which is something unheard of in Java. Pricey by Indonesian standards but makes sense given the location and the age of the place. Wifi included which is great!

Wonderful and well appointed restaurant especially if you only have a short time and want to see a landmark restaurant. It seems like you're stepping back into colonial times in the food is both outstanding and reasonably priced. When you're finished take a stroll down to the harbor and see all of the old boats to burn off some of the calories :-)

We had Nasi Campur and Gado Gado. The chilli was fabulous for those who enjoys spicy food. Level 1 is smoking zone and non smoking is on level 2. The ambience feels a little like Raffles hotel and very quaint.
