Nice places to enjoy meals with families & friends in Jakarta. Some of these are my all time favorites since they gave me unforgettable dining experiences! Life is too short not to enjoy & be glad!
Jalan Pintu Besar Utara No. 14 (Taman Fatahillah), Jakarta, Jakarta
Café · Tua Jakarta · 256 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: A nice restaurant to hang out & enjoy meals in Batavia old square. The area can be a bit crowded at night so Sunday brunch is the best. Food & beverages are okay. NEVER underestimate their cocktails!
Plaza Senayan, GF (Jl. Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Bistro · 255 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: When it comes to Union, I like it RED(dish). A glass of 'Life is good' smoothie or 'Cotton Candy' Cosmopolitan and some Red Velvet cake. Their Escargot is also worth the pennies. ;-)
Morrissey Hotel & Apartment (Jalan KH Wahid Hasyim No. 70), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Italian Restaurant · 114 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Not only it has beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, but it also has a long list of delicious Italian food to satisfy the taste buds. I love their pasta and bruschetta!
Lusy Aaltje: What I love the most is the interior design. Each room and its furniture bring back a lot of childhood memories! Food & service are nice. Favorites? Klappertaart & Poffertjes!
Jalan Haji Agus Salim No. 128 (Menteng), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Indonesian Restaurant · Menteng · 95 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Lovely place to enjoy scrumptious meal with loved ones. No wine by glass option though. Try the Shrimp Fruit Salad, Thai Grilled Chicken Thigh & Klappertaart Sunda Kelapa for dessert.
Menara Gracia (Jalan H.R. Rasuna Said Kav. C-17), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Italian Restaurant · 51 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: A unique concept for dining, feels like hanging out with your friends inside your own apartment. The sofa next to the bed is my favorite spot. Try the lamb / salmon steak & mixed berries for dessert.
Jalan Veteran I No. 18-19 (Gambir), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Asian Restaurant · 38 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: My favorite restaurant from Tugu Group! Each dining room gives you a different walking-down-the-memory-lane experience. Nice venue for a small party! I ♥ the 'Nasi Tjampoer' main course & Sla dessert.
The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place, 8th Floor (Jl. Jenderal Sudirman Kav. 52-53), Jakarta, Jakarta
Lounge · Kebayoran Baru · 5 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Only opens at weekends with an open air cinema every other week. It's got an array of delectable dishes & cocktails that come in a great service. Enjoying them under Jakarta's skyscrapers is a bliss!
Plaza Senayan, Level 4 #413 (Jl. Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Steakhouse · 29 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Caesar salad is one of my favorite appetizers and this place has the best one in my book so far. Excellent wine! Corn soup and salmon steak are good too! A bit expensive but absolutely worth it!

Lusy Aaltje: Enjoying traditional food above the lake is a nice experience indeed! I love the brown rice! The crab and shrimp options are also delicious. Don't forget to book your table at weekends!
Pantai Carnaval, Taman Impian Jaya Ancol (Jl. Lodan Timur No. 7), Jakarta Utara, Jakarta
Lounge · 138 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: The food & beverages are standard. It is, however, a very nice place to enjoy sunset dinner by the beach in Jakarta. Reservation & a minimum order are a must if you want to sit at the 'front row'.
Jalan Teuku Cik Ditiro No. 4 (Menteng), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Indonesian Restaurant · Menteng · 66 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: At first visit, many people admitted this place gave them the creeps thanks to its mystical designs. It is a typical charm of restaurants from TUGU group! Try the Shrimp balls and Balinese Satay!
Plaza Senayan, 5th Floor (Jalan Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Swiss Restaurant · Jakarta Pusat · 173 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Unlike many restaurants inside the mall in Jakarta, this one doesn't serve breakfast. They open daily right before lunch time. Food is nice and service is exceptional.
Plaza Indonesia, GF (Jalan MH Thamrin), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Thai Restaurant · Menteng · 18 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: A group of baby sitters accompanying the families they work for having lunch & being treated as nice as others in this restaurant. I like that!! Food is nice. Marinated chicken is highly recommended!

Restaurant · Kebayoran Baru · 92 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: I agree that this restaurant's service could be better but then again, being extra patient when dining at a high demand restaurant might be worth it. Average food & beverage. The place is nice though.
Oakwood Premier Cozmo, Lt. 1 (Jl. Lingkar Mega Kuningan Lot. E4.2 No. 1), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Malay Restaurant · 54 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: I enjoy the 'view' at any restaurant in Oakwood more than the food & I can see on the tips here that I'm not the only one. But this place does have some delicious stuff to try. My fave? Mango chicken.
Oakwood Premier Cosmo (Jl. Lingkar Mega Kuningan Lot. E4.2 No. 1), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Bistro · 294 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: I wouldn't recommend the caesar salad - too much cheese so it's bitter! I love their tea & cocktail options though a bit similar to Union (same owner). Service? It's got its ups & downs.
Plaza Indonesia level 2 (Jl. M. H. Thamrin Kav. 28-30), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Restaurant · 203 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: I'm a huge fan of the crepes in this restaurant! I simply can't get enough of them! My other recommendation would be their 'Grandpa Luigi' signature coffee. Lips smacking tasty!!
Plaza Senayan CP 101B, Palm Gate Entrance (Jalan Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Coffee Shop · 189 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: It's inside the parking lot of a mall but feels like eating right by a street! Loved the coffee! Food? Calamari & chicken wings! Service is a wee bit unpredictable = don't leave your patience at home.
Lusy Aaltje: So far, this place has the best 'Stinco di agnello' (lamb steak) in my book! It is so tender, it melts the minute you bite it! Their 'Torta di carote' (carrot cake) is delicious too!
Plaza Senayan, 5th Floor #CP 512-513 (Jalan Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Dumpling Restaurant · 61 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Having xiao long bao in eight different colors & flavors is definitely a good reason to dine in this restaurant. All the noodles are yummy as well!
Plaza Indonesia Extension, Level 1 Unit. E20-E21 (Jl. M. H. Thamrin Kav. 28-30), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
French Restaurant · Menteng · 72 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: The set menu came with free flow of iced tea with orange flavor which was nice enough. The roasted chicken was so so. I love the greek salad and chocolate mousse for dessert.
Plaza Senayan (Jalan Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Café · 27 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: A cozy corner to relax in between shopping at Plaza Senayan while enjoying a cup of cappuccino. For dining, I like their cream soup and tiramisu the most!
The Ubud Building (Jl. K.H. Agus Salim No. 132), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Balinese Restaurant · 77 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: The interior design makes the Balinese dining feel a bit more 'original'. The duck & chicken wings are nice. As a lover of spicy food, the meal is not complete without this set of 'sambal'.
Plaza Senayan, 4th Floor #CP411 (Jalan Asia Afrika No. 8), Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta
Indonesian Restaurant · Tanah Abang · 63 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Nice restaurant with a traditional touch. Loved the 'sate' and for beverages, I'd go with apple virgin mojito (soda). I wish it came in a bigger glass though.
Indonesian Restaurant · Jakarta Selatan · 5 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: One of the best Manadonese restaurants in Jakarta. By that, I mean the spicy level is beyond belief! It feels like home indeed! Try ummm... everything?
The East, GF (Jl. Lingkar Mega Kuningan Blok E3.2 No. 1), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Bar · 55 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Instead of giving her phone #, a real lady makes the call AND it takes a real man to handle it! However, this & some small details of this restaurant, got me hooked. HARD! Food? OK. Live music? Nice!!
Wisma Kodel, GF (Jl. HR Rasuna Said Kav. B-4), Jakarta Selatan, Jakarta
Wine Bar · 57 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Enjoyed the Insignia wine launch here! The service was quite impressive too! I found a piece of plastic inside my fish & they replaced it with a new one. I wish they had a non-smoking section, though.
Gandaria City, GF #M-G43 (Jl. Sultan Iskandar Muda), Jakarta, Jakarta
Winery · Kebayoran Lama · 20 tips and reviews
Lusy Aaltje: Some wine they have here! Food and service are not bad either. The best part, in my honest opinion, is the live jazz on weekends. Very entertaining!
