After Cork&Screw, Loewy, Potato Head and Social House, Ninety-Nine (99) is the new chic place in Jakarta (in November 2010). If you want to be surrounded by rich Indonesians and expats, this is where you should go. Since the restaurant is located in the middle of Grand Indonesia, expect it to be full, especially on weekends.
Ninety-Nine is actually an offshoot of the Ranch Market, a supermarket popular with expats specializing in premium, imported, and sometimes organic products. The restaurant maintains that quality reputation and offers some simple dishes using the best ingredients. To me, most of the food is American junk food, but they have some specialties from other countries such as tortillas, noodle soup, pizzas or nasi goreng. It's not always as healthy as it claims to be, but at least it tastes good.
In spite of all that, this is a place I recommend only if you miss western food or if you don't care how much you bill will be. I found some dishes to be completely overpriced, such as the Rp50k caesar salad, which is basically made of five leaves of lettuce with croutons. On average, you will spend over Rp100k/person, but it could be much more if you take appetizers and imported meat. A big surprise came from their pastry corner: I had the choco cake, which was one of the most delicious I had ever eaten in Jakarta.
They have a bar inside and a lounge with an impressive selection of wines (2000 bottles ++), but once again, extremely pricey.
Opening Hours:
Everyday from 8am until 10.30pm.

ReplyDeleteMendingan KFC hahaha
ReplyDeletefucking piece of shit, didnt even pick up their phone. tried to call for several times but still, no answer!
ReplyDeleteNever pick up the phone to reserve a table...the phone line is broken or employees are too lazy to pick up the phone? Is this what you call high-end restaurant???
ReplyDeleteThe taste is personal. When one says, it's good, it's good. When others say it;s not good, it's just fine ... For me, their signature menus are just great. Try crispy knuckle butter rice, bakmi goreng pinggiran, caesar salad ... I never feel bored to eat them. The price? It;s expensive indeed. But we have to pay also for the ambience ....
