As i promised, you will get so many informations about foods in this blog. Foods don’t always mean recipes, but also the cool restaurants to go! These are the restaurants that you guys should try:

Marche Restaurant

Marche is a swiss restaurant, that has a very unique kind of system. We usually eat in a restaurant which the waiters and waitress come into our tables, and asking what are our orders. We don’t find that kind of system in here. Marche is a market restaurant. So, when you go inside the restaurant, the waitresses will give you a card, and that card is somehow your life. If you leave out that card, you will have to pay 1.000.000IDR as a fine. As i said, Marche is a market restaurant, so you will have to find your own table and after you found your table, you have to change the status of the table into ‘reserved’. After that, you’re free to go around the restaurant and order the food at the stall that you want, when you ordered the food, the chef will give a stamp on your card. Each stall has a different stamp. After finished eating, you have to go to the cashier and the cashier will ask your card and detect the price from the stamps.

The foods:

  • pasta
  • rosti
  • vegetables
  • sandwiches
  • rotisserie

And they also have a super super good dessert! I love the ice cream, I love the mousse, I love the cakes. My favorite dessert of Marche is Bee Sting. You guys have to try that!

Note to remember: the average price for eating in Marche is 120.000-150.000IDR per person. It’s not that it’s the cheapest price, but just in case. Especially if you’re eating complete dishes (appetizer, main course, and dessert) it will definitely reach 150.000.

Places: Plaza Senayan – 5th floor, Grand Indonesia Shopping Town – level 3A, facing the musical fountain.

The Edge – Roof Top Resto

The Edge ini di design sesuai dengan tema Kemang Icon dengan menggunakan unsur alam. Jadi otomatis kita bisa ngeliat ada unsur api, air, dan logam di sini. The Edge ini juga pernah masuk ke dalam scene film Nagabonar Jadi Dua loh.. karena ini adalah roof top resto, kita jadi bisa ngeliat pemandangan-pemandangan oke, seperti sunset view yang bisa made our day ;). Kalo kesini makanan yang harus di coba itu Charcuterie Plate, ini adalah appetizer nya. what is Charcuterie Plate? Charcuterie Plate terdiri dari roti yang crusty dan ikan salami. For the main course, makanan yang wajib dicobain itu Char Grilled Asian Lobster. Lobseter nya… angkat dua jempol deh enaknya! udah lezat, lunak lagi. tapi secara itu enak dan high quality, harganya juga high dong.. Harga dari Char Grilled Asian Lobster itu sekitar 145.000IDR. dan ga ketinggalan dessertnya yang harus dicobain adalah.. BAKED NEW YORK STYLE CHEESE CAKE that will never let us down!

Address: Kemang Icon lt.5 – Jl. Kemang Raya no.1
