ABETO - Menteng — Restaurant in Jakarta

Wonderful dining experience. Staff are nice and helpful. Place is not so crowded on Tuesday night, free ta'jil during ramadhan (kurma, burjo).

Recommending the Crispy duck! An absolute must for those who love spices and juicy+tender duck. (🌟5/5)

Their ribeye with mushroom sauce is also a delight. It melts but has a bite to it, I could easily bite it without needing fork. Mashed potato pairs well with it. Salad fits quite well with the steak (4.5/5)

Love their banana dessert, it's creamy yet light. Coconut cream really adds to the harmony of the flavor. Not overly sweet, hella good. (4.8/5)

Skip the orange blast if you're not into sour drink as it's a bit too sour. BBQ chicken wing is just ok, would recommend to try other dish.

Vibe is good, includes smoking, non smoking, and private dining area perfect for small gathering. Would honestly...

I'm not sure why this restaurant has such a high rating. We came here for dinner as it was close to our hotel and had great reviews. We came at 8.20pm and the restaurant closes at 9pm. The staff friendly and spoke English. However, the food was average, not value for money at all. I ordered the squid in sundaneese herbs and spicy gado-gado. My husband ordered fish. The squid was overdone and drenched in sickly sweet sauce. It wasn't balanced at all. Gado-gado was nice but not spicy. The fish looked like children's happy meal and it has 4 small portions of fish. This was the most expensive meal we have had in 3 weeks in Indonesia and unfortunately the worst. We came 30 min before closing and it looked like the chef just wanted to go home and couldn't be...

Went to try this cafe with my wife and son. We ordered spagetthi carbonara, duck (half duck), red velvet and smoothie bowl pink mama.

The carbonara was generous with bacon and mushroom, but the taste was a bit salty. The duck which was served with three kind of sambal was super delicious.

The red velvet was too sweet for us. The smoothie bowl lack of sourness, making it less fresh to my preference.

But all the food were prepared fresh when we ordered it. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and the location of the cafe is very strategic. If you want to avoid the congestion, perhaps you can consider Abeto as they serve coffee, cocktails, cakes, pastries...
