Journée Kuningan — Restaurant in Jakarta

Ok, ain't gonna lie, I doubted this place at first; I don't think lots of people are raving about this place that much. But when I saw they're a part of Arka Group (just like Franco), I was sold 🤝

Idk if you can see it or not, but trust me, the salmon was hugeeee 😮‍💨🤯 I was perplexed tbh hahaha not only that, the whole dish was too. Rasanya? UENAK POL 🫵🏻❤️ Medok, gurih, garlicky, herby, semua jadi satu; what a burst of flavor. I truly appreciate this dish as a unit. Ada sayur bayamnya, salmonnya pun cooked perfectly, skin was crispy. Gnocchi was great, tapi agak "soggy" di akhir2 karena udah dingin. But I'll tolerate that and give this dish a solid 9/10.

Ini juga enak banget?!!! 🤯 If my veggies were cooked this way, I'd eat them every day lol a great appetizer. Again, medok dan gurih, crispy batter too. The aioli though?! What a perfect condiment.

They have two options for the sauce and I picked the pink sauce. Imagine bolognese sauce tapi creamy. That's how the sauce tasted like, but not that sour or tomato-ey though. Very cheesy and it's baked, jadi ada crisp-nya gitu, which I love. It doesn't look that appetizing, but it's great!! Porsinya pun banyak, tapi emang lbh carbs loaded sih.

📝𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝙎𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙨 I'd come back, 10000%. Tunggu tanggal mainnya 🙂 For the price, emang cukup pricey. But it's suuuuuper worth it with the taste and portion. Legit 💯💯 cocok juga buat...

This is a no go resto for me. We come 2pax, 12PM and we seated at 2 seated chair with small table..and the resto wasn’t look full either (that is annoying ) …We asked to move gor bigger table as you can see in the picture.,,we order 2 appetizers and 2 mains Along the way we order 1 glass Large Heineken (300ml) but it arrived 250ml - i asked the waiter…is this large…she had no clue running around asking senior staff. The staff come saying we dont have L (330ml) ..and we dont hv 330ml glass as just recently open!!! Woww…really? , what she said but we do have happy hour buy 2 get 1 on 250ml. Really confusing on the explanation… if we didn’t ask..maybe they will charge us with 300ml price!!!!

And look at the bread and dip - it looks burnt and doesn’t look appetizing at all. Also we order cauliflower popcorn (that shows like that) it was really disgusting presentation i ever see in a so called - french name resto with no identity- Malibu chicken is bland so is the lamb.

What really annoying, we haven’t finished our appetizer- the mains come…hang on!!!!! What this padang resto wr entered??!!!!

Overall - will never come back.,taste is horrible and services is horrendous!

All foof picture and bill I upload got you to review! Regret on every...

Arka's newest baby! The very first Arka's group that I tried, was Franco, and I love their dish! So I decided to try Journee.

Tempatnya ga terlalu besar, better RSVP dulu terlebih di weekend/rush hours. I ordered: Truffle Fries 9/10 Truffle was strong! Suka banget. Bit salty sih tapi tetap enak sekali. Salami Milano Pizza 9/10 Their dough's as good as Franco! Tbh, I'm not a tomato-lover, but this one is acceptable. Tomato nya ga berlebihan, malah blend well with the salami and others. Truffle Butter Spaghetti 10/10 Best!! One of their signature menu. Bisa pilih pork or beef for the protein. Portion wise ok banget! Saran, better for share karena buttery banget, fullfilling banget, bit too much kalo dimakan sendiri. Truffle's strong as well. Would come back for this. Parisian Entrecote; Carrara Ribeye MB9 The shoestring fries is to die for haha sorry i love fries!! But tbh, seasoning dagingnya not my fav, ok but not my fav.

The service was excellent.Tempat juga nyaman tapi sedikit gerah pas siang hari. Def would come back to try...
