The bistro is only 5-minute walk from the hotel I was staying at. Located on the lobby floor of the opening soon Des Indes hotel, Paloma Bistro boasts its modern classic interior with a traditional Indonesian touch. The main dining hall looks elegant in muted green walls, potted indoor plants, and chandeliers. The weather was perfect for enjoying lunch in the terrace but we were worried about the pollution.
We ordered Kampung Fried Rice and Fried Spaghetti ala Java. Personally, there was nothing super special about the spaghetti, but the dish was decent and enjoyable. The fried rice reminded me of my mother's cooking, but complemented with tasty chicken satays. I also ordered pineapple juice, which was quite refreshing to battle Jakarta's hot weather.
Even though it took longer for the food to be ready, staffs were friendly and helpful.
