3. Bunga Rampai
White building at Cik Diktiro street, Central Jakarta, a colonial architectural style of the early 20^th century embellished with eclectic decoration and romantic-masculine shades like black, grey, and gold. Displayed on its corners are collector’s pieces such as Palembang antique cloth and Palembang antique cupboards to enhance the luxurious atmosphere. Such classic and romantic impression can be found on the first and second floor. On the third floore are the rustic, natural, and romantic nuances fill in the unique green architectural style. That old house now popular as Bunga Rampai.

The use of Bunga Rampai name was because the owner wants to hint special meaning. Bunga rampai is a term for flowers setting that put together in a bouquet, creating scent and charm. As well as this restaurant that serves wide selection of Indonesian food at its best.

Built by five women, Bunga Rampai always tried to serving an authentic Indonesian fare. Such as sate lilit Bali, bakwan jagung and ikan bakar Manado, Javanese nasi buketan ijo, rendang Malin Kundang from Padang, empek-empek Palembang, and more.

All Bunga Rampai's rooms use flowers name. Kacapiring room for smoking room and Kemuning room for the lounge. Teratai room is the most favorite room, or we can call it porch. All around glasses in this room, make the room brighter. On the two sides, there is a small cabinet with vase contain flowers on the top.

Not like the formal Anyelir room, Alamanda room behind the restaurant has casual ambience. The floor in this room is unique and pull your attention.

And what about the food? What should we choose here? Alinear recommend you to try Pollo Asado (Rp 150.000). Contains half portion of Andalusian roasted chicken. The chicken is so beautifully cooked that the meat is soft and tender along with the semi-crispy skin, it is also the homemade savory sauce that really elevated the flavor, it is just so tasty & complemented the chicken very nicely. There are also pieces of baby potato, garlic, cherry tomato, rosemary and herbs dressing chicken.

Satisfied by Pollo Asado, now the time for dessert. Dates Pudding (Rp 55.000) could be your perfect dessert. Like its name, this hot pudding made from dates.

For coffee lovers, you should try Cortado (Rp 30.000). This Spanish macchiato has bitter taste with a bit of acid taste. Cortado served with a cookie.

Or for chocolate lovers, Cold Belgian Chocolate (Rp 60.000) is the best choice for you. Using Belgian chocolate, it has sweet light and strong chocolate. Atico is definitely one of the best fine-dining restaurants, food wise, place wise, service wise all terrific.

Located at 11st floor of MD Place, Ristorante has a best menu that you should try, Burrata Cheese with Cherry Tomatoes and Salad. Burrata is a soft creamy cheese and can rarely be found in Jakarta. The texture is really nice, soft juicy creamy yet very light at the same time served with sweet and tangy cheery tomatoes, greens, and balsamic vinegar caviar.

Yo can also find various homemade pasta and one the best selling menu is Fettuccine al Granchio, squid ink fettuccine with crab meat in creamy tomato sauce. The homemade squid ink fettuccine was lovely and cooked nicely al dente while the sauce was balanced in terms of creaminess and tanginess. Highly recommended!
