on Jalan Kemang Timur Raya you can find an array of galleries and design shops; Kemang is an abundance of shops who live in fancy homes. Some of these companies have tried skillfully customers stay longer with sweet and savory treats. Lio Gallery Bistro, Bar and Lounge has done just that.
Restaurants in Jakarta seem to understand better escape than any other city, I went to Bistro and Lio is no exception. The place feels relaxed, cozy and down to earth, but that is not to be confused with a lack of attention or effort, but a focus on relaxation and put your feet up. In the rectangular space, holding an intimate capacity of 60, two of the four walls are windows of the glass panel. Behind the bar is a wall in red brick and the other side is recovered wood railways. rustic placemats are in the style of shabby chic; old wood with small stripes of yellow and teal. Creative details are clearly accentuated by the opulence of natural light chiming in high walls of windows. One side considers the large car park uncommon (especially Kemang!) While others saw the outdoor pool. Bambang Bukit Reguna Lio Bistro explicates the intention of the space to be unpretentious and welcoming to people coming and meeting place for food, drinks or even swim.
The menu includes Bistro Lio European and Indonesian dishes. Prices are varied offer items at very reasonable prices to more expensive luxury dishes like foie gras. As we took a look at the drinks menu, Joe Nicolaas, Marketing Communications, and Olivia Marapaung, CEO, sat down with us and recommended exotic Lio is a fresh blueberry yogurt drink with a hint of refreshing mint next to a black pineapple Margarita had the caramelized pineapple taste submitted and mixed surprisingly well with the taste of tequila.
We decided to stick to the recommended date elements. To start - Foie gras, Red Snapper and Chicken Hands-grid not officially recommended by the chef, but a favorite customer, for dessert - Chocolate Bar. I do not eat foie gras but immediately realized that the presentation was held in high regard here. roasted apples lay in under the foie gras topped with micro greens and cranberries. Cecilia, my sidekick to review, complimented well seared outside the rich foie gras which was a nice sharpness; well suited to the greenness of grilled fruit. Then we were presented with the Grid Chicken and Red Snapper. The Red Snapper fillet is sitting on top of grilled Mediterranean vegetables and came with a Red Pepper Ketchup. Although the snapper was a little overcooked, the flavors of the herbs garlic butter were lovely. I love ketchup and enjoyed the tartness he added, but if, like Cecilia, you prefer a combination of milder flavor, does not ask to be served without ketchup.
The Grille Chicken miss my Sunday roasts - a big old thigh roasted chicken on top of potatoes mashed with thick sauce, wilted spinach and baby carrots. This dish made me wish for rain so I could eat and look out the window and feel the full comfort I remember my Sunday roasts in miserable rainy London. If you are a little lower and you want to eat your feelings, have the Chicken Grid. I shamelessly left nothing but bones on my plate. The Chocolate Bar is a layer of cream and chocolate mousse with passion fruit jam and sliced almonds in between covered with a chocolate layer cooled and hardened, which looks like a giant chocolate bar. This comes with a thick ginger syrup and ice cream. Much and I suggested that it be shared.
What resonates most of my experience is impeccable food presentation. Although the dishes look chic and stylish, not snoot can be found here. The staff is friendly and attentive and treat you like a friend they had invited for a catch.
