Timeline

  1. 17:30

    Maple & Oak

    Start with a late afternoon brunch at Maple & Oak. The bistro serves all-day brunch and drinks, giving you a relaxed base before the rush. The terrace is a good spot to watch the sky change.

  2. 18:00

    Situ Lembang Park

    Walk to the rim of Situ Lembang Park. Find a seat on the bench facing WSW. The fountain is active and the lake reflects the golden light as the sun dips low. This is your moment for the view.

  3. 18:45

    Al Jazeerah Signature

    Head to Ismail Marzuki Park. Walk 19 minutes NNE to Al Jazeerah Signature. Order the hummus and pita bread to share, followed by a fragrant rice dish. The atmosphere is lively and perfect for an early dinner.

  4. 19:30

    Bakoel Koffie

    Finish the evening with a drink at Bakoel Koffie. It is a 6-minute walk from the restaurant. As Jakarta’s oldest coffee roaster since 1878, it offers a historic end to the night. Stay as long as you like, the doors are open until midnight.
