Ya Udah Bistro

This german bistro is renowned to have great dishes come in very decent prices.
This place was a star in Jalan Jaksa – or famous as backpacker area in Jakarta, then moved to Kelapa Gading area in east part of Jakarta and now thy move back closer to their origin, which is 1 block away from Jalan Jaksa, in a quiet part of the area. A bit difficult to describe its location abut once you had a good grip of the direction it will be ok and more over – when you know that the trouble to reach this place worth the food you’ll get!.
This place serves a lot of choice of menus with some special breakfast menu and one off promotion.
Several German sausages selection accompanied with several side dishes of your choices – fried fries, mashed potato, boiled, hash brown or pastas. If you don’t fancy any pork products they also have several selections of beef and chicken as well as pasta dishes and a couple of Indonesian food menu.
First time I came here I ordered a menu of Thuringer and Nurenberg sausage mit mashed potato.
The second time I came there I opted for different dish – which was a pork wiener snitzel. Which is not that special as the meat is still a bit difficult to chew and my colleague’s Bavarian ham (leberkase) looks so great.
Their grandma’s apple pie is something not to be missed also! A fresh and hot apple pie accompanied with vanilla ice cream will certainly blew your diet out of the window.
They sell the food and drinks at very reasonable prices. The big bottle of Bintang will cost you 22.5k Rp (2.5 USD), almost the cheapest you can find in any restaurant in town. One dish will cost you below 50k Rp (5 USD). Their version of sauerkraut – however still can be improved by cooking the cabbage first. And their house wine – despite of being cheap, don’t worth the taste. So stick to the classic choice, sausage and cold beer and you’ll never regret it.
