The Apartment, in South Jakarta's Kuningan district, has diners at tables nestled between furniture in seven rooms that you may find in a large flat, as well as a bar.

Most guests ask the waiter for a tour of the rooms which include a kitchen, library and pantry, before they settle on the space they'd like to have their dinner.

The bathroom, complete with a large bathtub, shower head and towels, gets the loudest giggles and its five tables fill up first. The outdoor terrace with bright yellow cushions, padded sofas and bamboo garden is also popular, especially as Jakarta is a city where most restaurants are in cavernous shopping malls.

The owner, Budiman Gani, says the restaurant, which opened eight months ago, was a labor of love that took 11 years to realize.
