ith two long weekends waiting to be spent this month, here is a list of five Instagrammable spots across Jakarta to fill up those easy days with the pleasures of succulent cuisine. English breakfast? Mexican breakfast? Or the new Japanese poke bowl? We’ve got you covered.
Common Grounds
Common Grounds has become one of Jakarta's most popular cafés since its launch at City Walk Sudirman. They have just opened a third branch at Neo Soho near Taman Anggrek Mall, with more spacious decor. Go for the breakfast burrito or the steak and eggs.
Where: Neo SOHO and City Walk Sudirman
Monks
With its Japanese wabisabi and incomplete aesthetics, Monks serves Japanese fusion style breakfast and lunch as well as specialty coffee. They also offer unique desserts; the banana cake looks like a stone.
Where: Komplek Graha Boulevard Timur, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta

Toby’s Estate
Hailing from Australia, this breakfast and coffee roaster has finally opened a spot in Pantai Indah Kapuk. Offering a modern and spacious location, it is the place to go for those with a sweet tooth. Go for the pancakes or brioche French toast. For caffeine junkies, try out their cold brew.
Where: PIK Avenue - Ground Floor, North Lobby
Honu Poké & Matcha Bar
For busybodies seeking a healthier but delicious alternative, HONU serves choices of Poké bowls and green teas. With an Instagrammable setting and a trendy menu, the poké bowls, or cubed raw fish on top of brown or white rice, will be the highlight of your brunch experience at HONU. Go for the TWO&TWO Poké Bowl with Ginger Lemon Matcha on the side.
Where: Jl. Kemang Selatan Raya No.125, Kemang,South Jakarta

GIOI
Located in Jakarta’s chic restaurant district of Senopati, GIOI serves fusion Asian cuisine.
Unlike some places in the area that are not worth the price, GIOI proves otherwise. Compared to the other places mentioned here, GIOI serves heavier, starchy food. Their take on local food is worth a try, such as the Salmon Lodeh. The Crispy Duck is the restaurant’s signature dish. (vod/kes)
