Restaurant Rendezvous - Kebon Sirih — Restaurant in Jakarta

Rendezvous Restaurant can be considered one of those generational gems, a place so beloved that it’s passed down through families.

A true culinary treasure that’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience worth sharing across generations.

A dining experience that feels both nostalgic and timeless, giving an undeniable authenticity that is increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced dining scene.
