Overall good food quality and friendly service . Large amounts of space for big groups! We really enjoyed the dessert and dessert menu (pictures that hung on the wall-see picture)

For this place, you just need to bite the bullet (the bill) and go there for the atmosphere. It's a Jakarta classic. Food and drinks are good actually, but, yes, it's pricey . 50k++ for a small beer

Bitter Ballen. French Onion Soup . Spaghetti Carbonara . The Real Steak Sandwich . Australian Rack Of Lamb . Tom Yam Gong. Chicken Satay . Broccoli with Garlic . Char Siu . Ham Sui Gok. Lime Juice . Bandrek .

The view is best from the corner left window on the second floor. You'll get to see The Central area of Fatahilah.

Nice and cozy place. A little bit pricey but it worth. Good food, classic or jazz music . Clasic decoration, surounding with colonial style building. Feel like "Tuan/Nyonya" in colonial age.

I had a mi goreng , some satays and couple of draft beers . Almost guest was foreigners when I visited. Wide windows and antique interior was impressed so gorgeous and imposing I want to revisit there.

Live music is available during the day. The price for meals and beverages are a little bit pricey with 21% taxes. A descent place to chill . The restaurant has retro powder rooms design.

Nice wooden mezzanine on the upper floor, overlooking central square and it's lovely ambiance. Even if it is a touristic place, still here you can feel the ambiance of old Batavia

Red bean dumplings and tea make a good snack for people watching over the square. Get a table by the windows

Food quality and selection is just awesome for Western people, it's ahead of most locals-only restaurants . Good if you work in Jakarta and still miss UK But live music has very unstable reputation

A nice restaurant to hang out & enjoy meals in Batavia old square. The area can be a bit crowded at night so Sunday brunch is the best. Food & beverages are okay. NEVER underestimate their cocktails !

A nice coffee shop with Dutch architecture ! I had one of the best dishes in Indonesia but I forgot the name lol

Our first time back after 10 years. Grab a seat by the window. Ordered the burger and it was worth it. Happy it is still here and happy to be back.

This bar really takes you back a few years. Great setting. Come early for a less crowded square in front, which gives a better view .

A must visit in Jakarta IMHO. Have ur pic taken by the picture wall on the 2nd floor. Get a table with a view of the plaza .

Stunning interior, amazing ambience and lovely view by the window upstairs! Gotta see it to believe...

Toast in Ramadhan menu and few drinks. Great disappointment and it’s definitely an overrated place. Ambience wise is good.

Ask / reserve your table at the window and enjoy your ride back in time

Certainly touristy but still really cool. Get a table by the window for people watching and pick something strange off the menu .

Very NICE heritage cafe and I'm appreciating it, but they have BAD hospitality unfortunately (hey they ALSO have lot of moneys qaleee)

Once you come here you'll feel the 19th century atmosphere! Nice photo spot too!

This is one of the best choice to give a break in Jakarta. Atmosphere is quite good. Foods are ok.

Hip old-fashioned establishment for those who fancy early 20th century atmosphere. Nice food, but pricey . Probably because the portion is large too. Sharing w/ a partner or friend may be a good idea.

Great place for a romantic dinner . Food selection is a bit limited but the drinks are excellent.

Loved the early Sunday morning ambiance.. crooners and big band music .

Really love the atmosphere at this restaurant / cafe in the center of the old city center.

Very beautiful cafe . Expensive (for Jakarta), but delicious food, good staff . I recommend it.

Lovely old colonial style restaurant . Best ambience in upstairs area

Don't bring your camera , u must pay millions idr for some pictures.. It would be my 1st & my last :) in my opinion, it's not a good way to serve & maintain a good relationship with customers..

It is pricey here N food is average, but it is a place you gotta come and sit if you are in fatahilla sq. fruit punches are refreshing and expensive for Jkt, but the nostalgia and Aircon makes up 4 it

Sit upstairs for non-smoking dining. A nice rendezvous for afternoon tea . All is nice except for the slow service.

Ertwensoup - dutch split pea soup , sausage & grilled surdough.

Nice interior and food. Service is a bit over the top (trying to be to good, doesnt work for me)....

Good food, nice ambiance and live music !

Before we go in the people around said that "the prices are super high" however the menu is as expensive as a standart famous cafe . The building, decor is great. Staff looks bored. Food is average.

Amazing and really calm place . One of my favorite in jakarta

Beautiful interior and photos, more pricey for indonesia but affordable for any czech or slovak :-)

A must visit when in Jakarta. Old world colonial charm

Local coffee , from toraja to aceh gayo to luwak

It sells the decor, not the food. The food is overpriced n tastes below standard ????. Tho the decor is cute but I say the pics in the toilet scare me. Can u imagine pis surrounded by pics of dead ppl?

Comfort with live music ????

Go to Café Batavia at Taman Fatahilla in Old Jakarta (Kota) for a breathtaking ambiance. Will take you straight back to the 1930s and 40s. Check out the photographs even in the toilets ! Read more

YOU GOTTA LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE COLONIAL ERA DECOR!

View is really nice, food is ok, relaxing atmosphere and nicest staff

Extremely nice atmosphere and good view in the upstairs non smoking area .

Downstairs has more atmosphere and is quieter (i.e. more music less of loud tour groups) and the smoking isn't too much

Nice building, good food and music . A bit expensive

Burger and hot chocolate is very good combination

Vegetable fried noodle and black pepper souce meat are very delicious

Mood is good!! Nice place to be but more expensive than everything around.
