Discover a new wine bar proving West Jakarta is no booze desert! This spot boasts an impressive and well-priced wine selection in a comfortable, stylish setting perfect for a chill night out. While the food isn't the main star, the wine certainly is. The best part? It doubles as a shop, offering a 15% discount when you buy six bottles to take home. It's a must-visit for wine lovers looking for a great deal in the area.
Long-time followers know how much I love hanging out in the South, but recently a friend dragged me to West Jakarta, saying there's a new Wine Bar that's really legit. To be honest, I was against it at first. The West side? What surprises could there be? Turns out… Anjay, it was actually amazing.
I was won over by the design as soon as I walked in. It's not that gaudy, over-the-top style, just a very comfortable and tasteful vibe. The floor-to-ceiling walls of wine are just a joy to look at, and the lighting is just right, perfect for coming with friends to Nongkrong and have a few drinks[1].
Wine is the Star, Food is the Supporting Act
The main event is the wine, of course! Their wine list is seriously impressive, especially the selection of French wines, and the prices are also very reasonable for a Wine Bar in Jakarta[2]. We just randomly opened a bottle of red, and it was smooth on the palate. Mantap!
When you're happy from drinking, you start wanting to order food. We tried the steak, but to be honest, it was a bit of a letdown. The waiter didn't ask how we wanted it cooked, and it was brought out well-done, so the texture was a bit tough[3]… But luckily, the flavor of the sauce and side dishes was on point, which saved it a little.
But, to be fair, while the ambiance and wine are OK, there's still room for improvement. For example, the background music was rock, and personally, I think switching to some mellow jazz might be a bit more Chill[4]. The service also needs to catch up. Maybe because it's a new place, the waiter didn't seem very familiar with the menu and was a bit clueless when we asked for recommendations[5].
