Gaia
Italians love coffee and they love desserts, so it’s no surprise that tiramisu can be found on the menus of most Italian restaurants. It’s a dish that’s done often, but rarely done well, especially in Jakarta. Everything at Gaia, the high-flying Italian restaurant in the Altitude Complex, does all of its dishes with precision, and its tiramisu is no exception. As classic a version of the dessert as you will encounter, it features thick ladyfingers soaked in strong coffee and topped with a luscious mascarpone cheese mixture. The trick to a good tiramisu is in the balance between the bitterness of the coffee dusted on top and the richness of the mascarpone. Gaia nails that balance using premium ingredients, giving it one of the top tiramisus in town. (www.gaia-indonesia.com)
