Over Jalan Sudirman, where the pace holds from morning through night, Cafe Cali offers a perspective of Jakarta that feels removed yet entirely immersive. Occupying the top floor of The Orient Jakarta, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, the rooftop day club invites guests to take in panoramic views. The skyline stretches wide while the bustle below softens into a distant noise.
Stepping inside, the focus shifts to the space itself. Guests are taken in by the tropical atmosphere, a subtle invitation for a more relaxed temperament. Light-toned surfaces, textured stone, and bold structural accents come together. The infinity pool and jacuzzi offer a welcome respite. These features are integrated into the space, creating an environment that encourages guests to settle in at their own pace.
Expect a laidback but thoughtful selection of dishes, blending international flavors with Indonesian classics, ideal for grazing from day to sunset. Dishes range from the Salmon Poke Bowl to the signature Cali Platter. The kitchen also serves light bites, Baja Fish Tacos, and grilled selections prepared on the in-house Josper grill.
As evening falls, the atmosphere shifts. Music drifts across the space while city lights begin to flicker below. To close, a selection of desserts, including the Lava Cake and classic Pisang Goreng, offers a comforting finish. These pair well with Cafe Cali’s signature margaritas, such as the Secret Garden or the tropical Piña Rita. The result is a space that feels both relaxed and inviting. While the view may first draw you in, the experience lingers long after.
