Escape the city's chaos at Rosé Deli, a quiet "pink study room" hidden within The St. Regis Jakarta. This elegant spot is perfect for a peaceful retreat, boasting a stunning pink dreamscape ideal for photos. Beyond its beauty, discover high-quality main courses, exquisite desserts like Chef Kevin Lee's signature pralines, and specialty coffee. It’s a sophisticated sanctuary for those who appreciate great ambiance and food, offering a quiet alternative to bustling cafés.
Coming to South Jakarta always feels like a battle, with all the people and traffic, it's a total headache. But this time, I dug up a heavenly spot, right inside The St. Regis hotel! It's not one of those noisy, bustling lobby bars, but a hidden pink corner. The moment you step inside, the whole world goes quiet[1], so perfect for me when I need some"me time". 🧘♀️
Stepping into a Fairy's Pink Dreamscape
For real, the moment I stepped into Rosé Deli, my mood instantly shot up. The entire space is decorated in elegant shades of pink, classic and sophisticated. Any casual photo you take looks like a professional shot, and it's no exaggeration to say it's the most beautiful spot in the Setiabudi area[2].
I didn't just come for the ambiance; the food and drinks here are totally worthy of the St. Regis name. I originally thought this kind of place would only be good for dessert, but I was surprised to find that their main courses are on point too. I ordered the baked eggplant with cheese, and while it didn't look like a big portion, I was surprisingly full after finishing it[3], and the taste was amazing too[4].
The desserts and coffee are, of course, fantastic. For breakfast, I ordered a Panna au chocolate[5], and the flaky pastry layers were Mantap! Paired with their special St. Regis blend coffee[6], the aroma is truly top-notch, not your average Americano. Their pralines[7] are also to die for, said to be Chef Kevin Lee's signature item. They're so exquisite they look like works of art. They even did a collaboration with the Singaporean dessert master Janice Wong before—if you know, you know how prestigious that is. ✨
Let's get real…
Of course, being located in The St. Regis, the prices aren't cheap. Let's just say, the quality matches the price[8], so you'll need to prepare your wallet, haha. Especially their holiday hampers, I took a peek, and the starting price is 2,500,000 Indonesian Rupiah[9]... Anjay, it would definitely make for an impressive gift. 😅
The only thing I'd complain about is that there are very few power outlets[10], so for friends who want to work here all day with a laptop, you might have to be quick to snag a seat.
Guide / Pro Tips
OK, as usual, here's the guide for you!
- Want some peace and quiet?: This place is an absolute gem for a business lunch or if you just want to Nongkrong for an afternoon. It's so much quieter than those trendy influencer cafés outside.
- What to Wear: The decor is an elegant pink, so wearing light colors, white, or beige will look amazing in photos! You'll feel like you're in Paris in no time.
