Top choice in Yogyakarta


This lively French-owned kitchen is a delight in every sense and comes highly recommended by expats. Everything is homemade, including crusty baguettes and croissants, ice cream, crème brûlée, along with the pasta and popular wood-fired pizzas. For breakfast it cooks up egg-and-bacon rolls (a rarity in Java). Icy, well-priced mojitos (50,000Rp) are another reason to drop by.

Staff also smoke their own salmon, slice a paper-thin beef carpaccio, offer a tasty tuna tataki, and grill kebabs, steaks and chops. There's romantic patio dining at the rear and a great shop.
