The Rica Resto - Bogor — Restaurant in Bogor

Glad to add The Rica Resto to my list of a must visit family restaurant in Bogor. Situated at the heart of the city, The Rica is easy to access, even though they are lack a significant sign and may confuse the first time visitors. The parking lot is spacious, able to accommodate a plenty of car at one time. They also offer a number of private rooms for families and work colleagues.

The food itself left us in awe. As part of Ikan Bakar Sulawesi Group, their menu is dominated by South Sulawesi cuisines, something that is not easy to find in Bogor. We ordered ikan kue bakar, nasi goreng merah, terong bakar rica Siladen, and cumi cabe garam Gianyar. Each tasted excellent and authentic, approved by my Celebesian palate.

One of the best seafood resto. Worth the price. I ordered Kuwe Bakar Parape, Live Shrimp Cabai Garam, Cumi Masak Bumbu and other light bites such as Mantau Susu, Es Pisang Ijo, Cendol Duren, Tahu Krispy.
