Milou Cafe - Senopati — Restaurant in Jakarta

Cute interior and exterior of a farmhouse with the kitchen on the ground floor and dining area on the upper floor (you need to go 3 sets of set so not good for old or handicapped people).

Wide variety of Western, Japanese and Korean and Indonesian dishes. They also have large selection of drinks and desserts with homemade sorbets and gelatos.

Food was okay but not great. I had Japanese Hamburg which was basically griled demi glaced beef patty served with veges and baked potato. Delicious but the beef patty was a little burnt in some parts. Hubby had Salmon with Rissoto and it was a disappointment - the risotto was bland and not cooked well (nyemek tapi ada yg masih kayak mentah) and the salmon was dry and no taste even after you pour the sauce over it. The Gyoza was meh - the chicken somehow not juicy and too dry - kinda like you reheat a frozen gyoza.

The Lemongrass Tea was great though and served in cute presentation complete with sugar rocks. We ordered Churroz served with Yuzu Sorbet. The Churroz again was bland or was it on purpose because it has cream cheese dip? Still I was expecting a sweet tasting churroz though. The Yuzu Sorbet is recommended.

Friendly staff who is willing to explain the menu and give recommendation. Service can be improved to be a little faster - waiting time was around 25 minutes and main dishes came first instead of the appetizer.

Price is on average around Rp.80-90k with several dishes priced around...

The Food is okay, order some coffee, food and cold brew. Ordered a bunch of food but mainly i would comment is when we order the eggs benedict the serving is not in accordance to the written details on the menu, when we complained the waiter says its just a picture, but what we meant was ofcourse not because of the pictured but what we received is missing some greens which is stated in the menu itself. but they were okay to accomodate and returned us with the side salad.

As for the service, unfortunately for me is quite bad, the waiter doesnt understand the menu and keep on saying that he/she is new and will ask someone to help us out which is 5-10 minutes wait until they came and get our inquiries. the indoor tables has a lot of reserved but we were dining in for +2 hours and the table that was reserved is still empty that leaves us outdoor where its pretty much hot and humid. i did ask if theres any empty table to please move us inside but never happened. For most places that i usually dine in the reserved is only limited to until a 15 min leniency, but yeah until we closed 2 bills later that reserved tables is still nice and...

The place and the ambience of this place is nice. It can be judge by 4.5/5. The food is also good. But, I truly recommend you to order their Indonesian food. The spices of the food is amazing, you can taste that they really work on it. The portion is generous too.

The ice cream durian also very good. It contains the fruit chunks in it.

For the drinks, I ordered rose tea and it comes with rock sugar (I hope the cut of the sugar is smaller so it fits in the cups, but you can also put it to the teapot).

The service is a so-so one. Imho, there are some rules and adjustments that makes the people whom come here for the first time like us confused and question them (you need to close bill before you move to the other place and they didn’t take note when you make reservations of vaping seating area).

Lastly, I truly appreciate their willing to explain the menu and being nice. But they should be faster if the guests asked for the bill to pay.

Overall, you’ll be fine. For sure will come to try...
