Olivier

New Player on Board

Urban people, there is new player to entertain your tummy. placed at West Mall. Grand Indonesia. Ground floor, right beside Arjuna Lobby. It is OLIVIER Peps.

When you see this restaurant from inside mall. Their enterance is so small and a bit mysterious. With gold and big window glass this restaurant similar with bar in 60's. First i walked in i saw partition brown glass with classic lamp on each corner. There is a receptionist table in front ready to welcome us.  

When I enter this restaurant, it was a surprise that it has a big space inside. I remembered Feng sui said, pocket interior is a fortune for your business. hahaha

First you'll find big bar with yellow and dark brown color in the right side. Bartender ready all the time. 

 In front of the bar there are tables with devider makes your dine more private.

And then you turn to your right you will see outdoor area with rooftop glass. Mba Desi as Head branch of Olivier said this rooftop is special ordered from germany and it is custome. The roof top can rolled up then you can get 100% outside area.

 This spot in picture above is my favorite spot. Like the sofa design.

Mba Desi said, Olivier designed with classic interior in 60's era. Olivier's ornament, bar's design, even their floor use teraso. It is a different thing with marmer. First came to Indonesia since 50's era.

Since i came here until 9.00 pm, I can see how Olivier design their outdoor area become a romantic ambience. with a lamps and candles you can feel the romantic ambience with your lover but also cozy when you hang out with your friends.

Spaghetti with prawn, spicy tomato sauce, sambal terasi, 95k, It is spicy and so indonesia, I really love the sambal terasi. they used real shrimp paste, may be the sambal not mashed with hand but it is okay. I think it is bareable for someone can't handle spice.

72 - hours wagyu brisket, BBQ sauce, wedges potatoes and sauteed mushroom , 198k

The taste is simple. Only BBQ sauce with wedge potato and mushroom. but that is why this dish is special. because the ingredients already amazing (Of course with wagyu cooked in 72 hours, how that cannot be amazing??) the simple sauce is just make it more. less is more peps.

This is the sauteed mushroom

It is Spinach with cream. the taste is great!!, simple but great. 

This one is Apple Crumble with cream fraiche and ice cream, 70k, I really love pice crust and this one has a perfect crust, the apple filling is moist too.

Quinoa Tabouleh Salad, 70k; the plating is simple but the taste is not, you have to taste it your self

Chicken Wings with Spicy Marinade, 70k. these Chicken wings seasoned with spicy and they served with spicy dressing. not oily and of cour chicken wings are yuuum

French Fries with chilli parmesan or truffle oil, 75k. Hope the parmesan is a little bit more. hehehe Sorry I never get enough cheese.

Their service is friendly, maybe a bit clumsy, like when I ordered for Fizzy Aplle, they gave me Fizzy Lemonade, Fortunately Mba Dessy Notice and asked to changed it. They are fast too and several waiters know to recommend us what to order

the price is expensive but hey you get a great ambience in central Jakarta, what do you expecr. haha yeah for me once in a while is enough.
