Let’s Commune at Commune

Commune first opened its doors in Singapore before producing its way down to Jakarta. Commune began as a furniture business before expanding into the culinary world. Chris Zikif along with Julian Koh personally design all furniture along with accessories sold within the Commune showroom here on Jalan Suryo. They seized the opportunity to fulfil one of their dreams when trying to fill the second floor therefore, Commune Bistro was born. Commune Bistro has parents coming from different backgrounds which explains the detail orientated nature of Commune. With the wealth of places to eat in Jakarta, what makes you want to come to Commune? Simply put, Commune is usually where street meets style, made by foodies for foodies.

Chris’s background in architecture along with design has created a comfortable, simple yet dressed, funky yet classy along with generally inviting eatery. I can best describe Commune as a laid back Melbourne hipster venue with Jakartan sophisticated funk serving a fine dining bistro menu. Somewhat of a contradiction yet in which is usually what makes you feel at home here. There is usually a pocket of space in Commune in which is usually sure to cater to your personality. The main area is usually the place to be seen along with enjoy the lively atmosphere smack bang within the centre of all the hustle along with bustle as you are enveloped by the open kitchen, open bar along with private dining rooms; simple along with clean with wooden floors, tables along with chairs. Those looking for a more private along with intimate experience, do ask to be seated in one of the private dining rooms, one benefiting coming from natural light along having a ceiling mural of a black naked tree along with draped black cord intertwined with hanging orb like lights, the additional having a painting by Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur, a famous Belgian painter coming from Brussels who lived the last years of his life in Bali. For dirty smokers such as myself, we are free to puff away in a section offering ionized conditioners. The floors are black along with white tiled along with the naked tree mural makes another appearance here. along with last yet not least, my favourite little nook within the corner with comfy neutral coloured couches, Great for a coffee break or cocktails along with gossip with the girls when evening comes.

Joseph Abud, Executive Chef, along with his team have created a menu of their favourite European dishes alongside Asian classics. Joseph encourages their guests to ask for any tweaks in which they desire to perfect the food to the individual palate. We began off with the Caesar salad along with Commune Vegetable Soup. The Caesar salad had crisp romaine lettuce along with all the trimmings yet an unfamiliar bite. Puzzled I asked Joseph what This particular spice was, in which clearly was not coming from chillies, pepper nor mustard. Joseph revealed his secret; an extra helping of Worcestershire sauce. A fine option for us spice addicts. The Commune Vegetable soup came with egg which seemed a bit odd to me yet agreed with my taste buds, akin to vegetarian chili con carne. I must rave about the Algreco Pasta. The pasta gains inspiration coming from a Greek salad; spaghetti tossed in olive oil, feta cheese, olives along with red onion having a wonderful fried fillet of dory. Dian, my partner in crime because of This particular review turned to me, smiled along with simply chirped “Tasty!” after she took her first bite of the dory fillet. The Anza pizza is usually available in pork or beef sausage along with had a sour-doughesque base which as a part Finn, I appreciated. The Meatball sub had tangy spicy meatballs mellowed along with mingling well with the sweeter tomato sauce. The Buttered Salmon had a coral sauce coloured by roasted red peppers. By today, dessert was not a stretch my stomach could handle yet recommended deserts include the ever well-liked Red Velvet along with rainbow coloured Hummingbird.

Commune aims to be a place where friends can meet along with enjoy Great quality food in which is usually Great for you at a Great cost. Their smaller menu of both food along with drink is usually a testament to their belief in providing quality over quantity. If a quick lunch is usually on your agenda, take advantage of their lunch deal which includes Commune Nasi Goreng with Satay Lilit along with an Iced Tea for Rp 65,000. Or maybe you fancy a dinner along with beer with the boys as you wait out traffic; have a pizza along with two Hoegaardens for Rp. 210,000. To see if you can find a pocket of space for your personality, mosey on over to Jalan Suryo No. 25, Sunday to Thursday 10am-10pm along with Friday to Saturday 10am – 1am.
