Paris Café: Savour Modern French Flair in South Jakarta

From the group that brought us Paris Bistro comes a new dining venue that similarly celebrates French cuisine in Jakarta. Paris Café brings the nation’s quintessential café culture to the city, served in a setting inspired by the iconic Arts et Métiers metro station in Paris.

Perched along the popular eat street of Jalan Wolter Monginsidi, South Jakarta, Paris Café has been designed as an all-day dining destination, inviting patrons for coffees and pastries in the morning, to winding down over a glass of wine in the evening. As a café, it is casual and laidback, but that certainly does not make it devoid of atmosphere: an iconic retro-steampunk aesthetic takes over the interiors, a design inspired by a very specific visual style from early 1900s. Curved copper elements and framed engineering drawings transports café-goers to a bygone era of Paris, in a time of burgeoning industrialisation and mechanisation.

When it comes to food, like at Paris Bistro, the menu offers a modern interpretation of French cuisine, as well as wider selections. The Brunch menu features classic French Omelette, Croque Madame and Monsieur, and a signature Lorraine Brunch Quiche. Whilst day and evening favourites may include the Chef’s Favourite Galette, Beef Cheek Ragù, Beurre Blanc Salmon  to Duck Confit. A menu of prime steaks is available for a heartier meal,  or comfort-favourite pastas, flatbreads and fresh starters make for go-to lunchtime staples.

As always with French cuisine, desserts are a must, of which there are many at Paris Café. The Milky Tapioca (artisanal milk ice cream, tapioca pearls and milk jam) and the Raspberry Pavlova are two standout favourites. Palette cleansing ice creams and sorbets are also available, provided by the restaurant group’s own Paris Sorbet. A selected wine and cocktail list complement the dining experience.

Open from 9am to 11pm daily.
