Tired of Jakarta's concrete jungle? Discover One Satrio, a new "urban oasis" in Kuningan that offers a refreshing escape. This open-air lifestyle hub features a vast green lawn perfect for picnics, jogging, or simply relaxing. It's a pet-friendly paradise for your furry friends! After unwinding, you can grab a bite from various eateries, including the popular Bakerman with its famous giant croissants. It’s the ideal spot to slow down and escape the city's hustle.
Every time I'm in the Kuningan area for work, I look up and it's all densely packed office buildings, so suffocating it's hard to breathe. Anjay, I really didn't expect that in the heart of this concrete jungle, there's such a huge open green space hidden away. It's practically a life-saving space for Jakarta's office workers!
The moment you step into One Satrio, the whole vibe changes completely. There are no tall buildings here, just standalone small buildings scattered around the lawn, creating a huge contrast with the surrounding skyscrapers[1]. In the evening, as the sunset light shines down, many people are running with their dogs on the jogging track, or families are laying out mats for a picnic. It feels like the pace of Jakarta instantly slows down, making it so perfect for Nongkrong here.
When you get tired of walking around, you can find a place to eat. The restaurant selection here is quite good, with Japanese, Thai, and Western food available[2]. My friend and I headed straight for the popular bakery Bakerman. Their giant croissant is no joke[3]; the outside is crispy, and the inside is pleasantly chewy. The buttery aroma is Mantap! I also saw many people recommending the Indonesian restaurant Noesaka and Bermvda, which focuses on healthy meals[4]. I've already added them to my list of places to visit next time.
But to be honest, the prices at the restaurants here are generally a bit on the high side. After all, it's the location, so you need to be prepared to spend a bit[5]. Also, maybe because it just opened not too long ago, it feels like the restaurant spaces aren't fully occupied yet. While there is some variety, the selection isn't particularly extensive; you can pretty much see everything in one walk-around.
Editor's Key Points (You're welcome👇)
- Best Time to Visit: Definitely don't come around noon; the Jakarta sun will teach you a lesson! The best time is after 4 or 5 PM, when the weather cools down and the lighting for photos is absolutely perfect[6].
- Crowd Alert: It gets super crowded on weekends and public holidays, especially with families with kids. If you want some peace and quiet, try to come on a weekday[7].
- A Must-Read for Pet Owners: This place is super pet-friendly, an absolute paradise for walking dogs[8]! But most restaurants only allow furry friends in the outdoor areas, so if you want to enjoy the AC, you'll have to leave your little master outside.
- Accessibility Note: If you're bringing elderly family members or a stroller, be aware that some restaurants don't have elevators to the second floor[9], and you'll need to take the stairs.
- Find a hidden open green space in Kuningan's concrete jungle, a perfect escape from stuffy office towers.
- At sunset, the lawn glows as Jakarta's pace slows. See people picnicking and jogging. The perfect vibe to Nongkrong [1].
- Bakerman's giant croissant: flaky outside, soft inside, and bursting with buttery aroma. One bite is pure bliss [2]
