Djakarta Cafe

Jalan Jaksa Area


One of the few spots in the area to grab a cold beer after hours is this worn 24-hour diner decked out in retro 1930s decor. Enjoy a drink on its outdoor terrace or inside where there's air-conditioning. Unspectacular dishes include Indonesian and Western mains (like fried rice, chicken quesadilla, and fish and chips). It has a few dozen wine choices.
