Jardin Cafe — Restaurant in Bandung City

A hip small cafe, parking lot using the Sundanese restaurant next door and the small street just in front. Very, very crowded at lunchtimes, evenings, and weekends. They only opened the 3rd level restaurant, and still working the 2nd level. There's a small elevator, or you could simply use the open stairs. Was there for early lunch 10-12 am, only lightly crowded at the time. First thing that hit me was the green, fresh ambience. The shrubs were hanging from the high ceiling, and the open sides should provide fresh air if only there was garden outside instead of busy main road. I did have a thought, it might be rather uncomfortable in the evening when mosquitoes attack, or when it rains and windy. Light shower of water was sprayed intermittently, so it might not be wise to bring out papers while you're inside. All in all, the ambience of green garden was somewhat well achieved. There was quite wide array of menu offered; european, indonesian, asian. There were seven of us, so I got tasted several menu. Taste overall only average for rather high price, rather disappointing. I had this mix grill, and the waitress dutifully asked how I prefer my steak. Ironically, the steak turned out as a thin slice, so it could only be raw, well done, or burnt. Wonder why they bother to ask... Of all the things in my plate, the only one tasted fair was the bratwurst/sausage. Salad was very dry. Others were barely decent, if not completely fail the average expectation. Spent around IDR70k. Sorry to say this, but if you're looking for decent steak, better visit the restaurant almost across the small street; for same price you got more taste and quality food in your plate, in almost equally nice ambienced room. Friends had another kind of steak (also disappointing), spaghetti bolognaise (decent), coffee (good), garangasem ribs (more on the sweet side instead of hot and sour), rice bowl (so-so), It seemed that all they sell was the nice ambience. Won't come again, definitely not worth the price (and maybe the effort...

✨Ambience: Jardin is quite unique for me, they give us a hybrid atmosphere! The ambience in here is the combination of fancy, minimalist, and tropical theme. So you can enjoy this super cozy place with fancy and minimalist interiors but fresh breeze from outside and plants around us! By the way, they have another room on the 2nd floor with retro neon style. (10/10)

My favorites are Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna, and the Scarlet Kiss. Their Chicken Parmigiana is so big and the pasta tasted soooo goood!! Super creamy and delicious, the parmigiana sauce is good too because it has balance tastes with goo sour level, the chicken is big enough too! The Lasagna is really delicious but.. It has a small portion :’( For the drink, Scarlet Kiss is the best! It smells so good!! Don’t ask about the taste because it’s really good and freshy! For Sate Lilit Ayam and Nasi Bebek Bali for me a lil bit standard but the their sate lilit isn’t bad! Their sambal matah isn’t bad too, but others items in there are nothing special but not bad for an example like the duck has a good texture but yea nothing special....

While visiting Cimanuk area, I attracted to newly opened cafe, Jardin, and decided to give it a try. Jardin have a nice open space concept with tropical glass house ambience. And they're totally packed during my visit (around dinner time 😬). As always, I ordered bunch of dishes from appetizer to desserts, here's the list of my orders: Super Green (blended fruit and yoghurt topped with melon kiwi, banana, granola & chia seed), Melon Ball Punch 🍈 (mocktail consist of melon syrup, melon balls and soda water), Sapi Lada Hitam (stir-fried sliced beef tenderloin with onion & paprika in black pepper sauce, served with rice), Sop Buntut Goreng (stir-fried spicy beef oxtail, served with tasty clear soup, rice, pickles & emping), Jardin Mix Grill (grilled tenderloin, chicken breast & beef frankfurter, with fresh salad & French fries in BBQ sauce), Chicken Cordon Bleu (breaded chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella, served with French fries & sautéed vegetables in BBQ sauce), Chocomaltine Pannacotta (panna cotta topped with ovomaltine, garnished with rice crackers and chocolate decoration) and Choco Lava Cake (molten chocolate lava cake, served with vanilla ice cream). Overall, I really satisfied with all the dishes and definitely gonna come back in the future 😬👍🏻. I totally recommend Jardin Bandung for you guys to try. For this visit to Jardin, i'm gonna rate them 5 out of 5. For more info about foods, kindly visit...
