Pecel Solo — Restaurant in Surakarta

This is a throwback to my favority.

Pecel Solo

Pecel Solo is a well-known restaurant in Solo City acclaimed for its spread of traditional Solonese and Javanese dishes. Many of these dishes aren't as easily found in Solo's restaurants these days.

The restaurant’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and service is evident, and the staff were friendly...

Where to next? Lunch bell rang and we heading to Restaurant Pecel Solo. My-my! Ambiance really a stand-out. As if you have walked into someone’s rustic and traditional those days house. Regardless, let me tell you that being seated in the stuffy, cramped dining area and hardly any space breather to move around was not a comfort zone. Food by far too was not a major delicious pop-up. In fact, just so-so and pretty much only acceptable. Pretty much the same like those we have already tucked into in other eateries Maybe those were far out much better.
