i guess it makes up for the differences in prices us Bule have to pay in Indo , @ tourist sights . Fiscal is still Rp 1Million if you're travelling by plane. |

Oontiveros, are these places suitable for Westerners? I might bring a big group of visitors from US/Europe/Venezuela as well as other parts of Asia to CGK in September. A big group of possibly 15-20 people... Work is not tough... tougher is the task to find a suitable place for this group to hang out ;) ... as I'm the only Indonesian, they'll just count on me... |
It certainly didn't take long before oontiveros became the authority on night life in Jakarta... ;) :D

Ok Dragonfly, X Lounge and Vertigo are totally acceptable for Westerners...they are like clubs/lounges in the West...you could be anywhere once you go inside.
BATS/30-Tiga Puloh, etc are fun for westerners if they like live music and "ayam." Be sure to invite me...I'll show you the "right" places! :D |
Dup...:D

There are some very good Japanese & Korean places. No decent Thai food. Riva and Dharmawangsa the best western "fine dining"
All the above, in my opinion! Yes, there is now, Blue Elephant - down by Setiabudi Building. That is if you're familiar with the restaurant. Excellent Thai!!! |
Dragonfly
We tried out DragonFly yesterday. Excellent food. Not too pricey ($100 for 3 people including a $40 bottle of wine).
My only complaint: what is with the air conditioning in Jakarta?? Do these people have too much spare energy resources? Outdoor temperatures in December in Siberia are higher than the indoor temperature in all buildings in this town! :rolleyes: |

Nowhereman, glad you liked Dragonfly, wish I'd known you were in town, there was a great art reception at a very cool gallery (Taksu) last night (Fri 5th) and a fashion show at Club Inc.
