Yummy Malaysiana: Bureau (Gastro Pub Pondok Indah)

Bureau (Gastro Pub Pondok Indah)

Bureau is a bar and restaurant ("gastro-pub") located in Pondok Indah Plaza 2, next to PEPeNERO and De Hooi. In spite of its French name (meaning "office" or "desk"), it serves a mix of continental dishes. You have grilled steaks, ribs, lamb chops, served with french fries or pastas for instance. The only typical French dishes on the menu could be the Duck L'Orange (Rp87k++), the Mussels Marinara (Rp65k++), the snails (Rp35k++), the Foie Gras (Rp135k++) and for desserts, the Crpes (Rp27k).

It has two floors: The small bar downstairs, perfect for an after-work drink or a meal, and the bigger room upstairs, with a DJ booth an dancefloor space that may be used for bigger parties.

The design is very basic and looks unfinished (maybe similar to Koi in Kemang): Concrete floor, raw material used (steel, wood, stone), no dcoration, etc... It is no longer very original in Jakarta unfortunately.

The! service is very friendly and fast, and even during the afternoon on a Monday, there were a few clients inside. If you enjoy European beers, they have a few (Gauloise Blonde, Blanche de Namur, Beck, Erdinger, Leffe). Or you can stick to Bintang (Rp35k++).

Overall: A good addition to the nightlife scene in Pondok Indah. I guess that it will target Indonesians more than expats and that they should organize some happening events once in a while. I did not try the food, comments are welcomed.
