akarta never sleeps. Even in the middle of the night, the capital city’s traffic is still crazy sometimes, mostly because of the many choices of nighttime activities.
If you are not into clubs, late night cuisine is something interesting to try when in Jakarta and these 24-hour places are a good start.
Kosenda Hotel in Central Jakarta is known for its creativity on basically every feature you need in a hotel: a coffee shop (127 Café), a rooftop lounge (the Awan Lounge) and a homey restaurant. The latter, named Waha Kitchen, boasts a modern and young concept yet serves great Indonesian food like pempek cuka merah (fish cakes) and chicken laksa.
Besides its attractive and artistic design, Artotel in the Thamrin area is also known for its rooftop bar called BART. Those who don’t feel like drinking can go downstairs to enjoy great food choices by RoCA. Open 24 hours, RoCA’s brunch menu is impeccable and it’s made even better as it also serves great coffee.
Featuring a combination of Chinese and Pakistani cuisine such as fu yung hai (omelet) and lamb korma, Aneka Bubur 786 indeed has a lot of great things to offer. If you’re craving something lighter, you can order various types of bubur (porridge) as well.

Offering fresh food and drinks, Locale 24 boasts a unique experience of eating in an actual American-style diner. This place arguably completes Pantai Indah Kapuk’s status as the center of cuisine and nightlife in Jakarta.
There’s always room for local foods, even in the middle of the night. One of the best places to eat when you’re hungry but it’s too late to go to a restaurant is RM Ampera 2 Tak, which provides many different dishes including gorengan (deep fried snacks) and vegetables served in traditional ways.
Last but not least is the popular Dim Sum Inc. Over time, this place has become an urban legend for people who love to stay up late enjoying the fun nightlife in Jakarta. It doesn’t hurt that Dim Sum Inc’s premises are strategically located in the Kuningan and Kemang areas. (kes)
