Thinking of dining with your feet in a pool? Bandung's One Eighty offers this unique experience with a stunning, photogenic atmosphere perfect for chilling out. But is the food as good as the vibe? This review dives into the "blind box" menu, revealing the must-try dishes and the ones to skip. Get the inside scoop on how to snag the best seats, avoid common mistakes, and make the most of this unique in-water dining spot.
Honestly, coming to Bandung was all for this One Eighty! Who can refuse the joy of Nongkrong while soaking your feet in a cool pool? 🤯 Isn't this the ultimate dream in a tropical country! Just this idea alone is a huge win.
The Vibe is Absolutely Maxed Out 💯
As soon as I walked in, I was amazed. The entire space has a strong sense of design, with lots of greenery, and natural light streaming in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making it super photogenic. Of course, the MVP of the whole place is definitely the outdoor dining area where you can"soak your feet"[1]. The tables and chairs are placed directly in a shallow pool, your feet dangle in the water, super Chill~ If you're lucky, you might even catch some Live Music[2], the atmosphere couldn't be more comfortable!
As for the taste... it's interesting 🤔
Here comes the main event, let's talk about the food. The Beef Truffle[3] I ordered really deserves a Mantap! The beef was cooked perfectly, the juices were perfectly locked in, and it was super tender and smooth in the mouth. My friend's Pizza[4] was also very good, the crust was crispy, it's a safe bet that won't go wrong.
BUT! The taste at this restaurant is really a bit polarizing[5]. The pasta ordered by another friend... was hard to describe, she only ate a couple of bites and put it down. So ordering is really like opening a blind box, I recommend everyone prioritize ordering the signature dishes.
The price isn't cheap, it comes out to about 200k IDR per person, which is considered mid-to-high range in Bandung. And Anjay! They actually don't provide free water[6], friends who order spicy dishes, take note!
Your Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls from Your Sis
Girls who want to check it out, seriously, keep these tips in mind!
- Want a pool seat? Go early! That area is a hotly contested spot, if you go during lunchtime, you'll almost certainly have to queue[7]. Also, the pool area usually only opens after 11 AM[8], because they need to clean it, so don't make a wasted trip.
- Drivers, take note! Parking is super hard to find on weekends, but they have valet parking service[9], just hand the keys to the security guard, remember to give a tip.
- Don't go in the afternoon! Many popular dishes, such as pizza and certain chicken dishes, might be sold out by the afternoon[10]. If you want to eat well, it's the same advice: go early!
- Outfit Suggestion: Shorts, skirts + flip-flops are the best choice, so you can easily get into the water and play, otherwise, it'll be awkward if your long pants get wet.
- Who can refuse Nongkrong while dipping feet in a cool pool? This ultimate tropical Chill experience is irresistible! [1]
- Signature Beef Truffle[2] is a game-changer! Perfectly cooked, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth tender. So good!
