Discover West Jakarta's hidden gem, Candi Resto & Rooftop Bar! Perched atop the Britz Hotel, this cozy sky garden offers a private escape perfect for dates or intimate gatherings. The main attraction is the breathtaking sunset view that feels like a mini-trip to Bali. You'll also be delighted by the surprisingly delicious and affordable fusion cuisine, making it the ideal spot to unwind without venturing south. It's a must-visit for that picture-perfect evening.
Every time my girls ask me where are the good places to Nongkrong in West Jakarta, it gives me a headache… It feels like all the good spots are clustered in the South, right?! 🙄 Until I dug up this secret spot hidden on the rooftop of Britz Hotel—Candi Resto & Rooftop Bar, I declare, West Jakarta finally has a date spot worth showing off!
A sunset that transports you to Bali in a second
Honestly, this place isn't at all that kind of luxurious grand bar where you need to dress up; instead, it's more like a cozy sky garden. The space isn't particularly large, but its strength lies in being private and Cozy, perfect for a small gathering with friends or a date. The biggest, biggest, biggest plus is the view! In the evening, sitting here and watching the sun slowly sink into the Jakarta skyline, the sky dyed in shades of orange and pink… that feeling, Anjay! It really feels like you're transported to a beach in Bali in a second[1], and any casual snapshot looks like a professional photo.
A Rooftop with Surprisingly Amazing Food
I originally didn't have high expectations for the food at a hotel rooftop restaurant, but I was proven so wrong! 😂 The menu is a fusion of Western and Indonesian cuisine; we tried a few dishes, and the flavors were all on point. I heard that many newlyweds who held private wedding receptions here said their guests couldn't stop praising the food[2], which is quite rare.
The prices are also surprisingly down-to-earth. I thought it would be expensive for a hotel rooftop, but one look at the menu, wkwkwk, my wallet is safe![3] I heard that during special events, a New Year's dinner set is only around 300k per person, Mantap!
Some Honest, Heart-to-Heart Truth
Although the à la carte dining experience is great, I have to be honest, I've heard friends complain that if you're attending a large buffet event (like a bukber for Eid al-Fitr), when it gets crowded, the speed of food replenishment might not keep up, and the quality can be a bit inconsistent[4]. So if you're booking the whole place for an event, it's best to communicate the details of the food service with the management in advance.
