It’s no wonder because Cafe Batavia promises good view of tourists activities around Fatahila square and the Fatahila building itself.
If you come by some time around the afternoon, the sunlight coming through the glass pane is stunning for your countless smartphone selfies.
And if you prefer to avoid the heat, coming here at night would be perfect.
Cafe Batavia is certainly a pretty restaurant.
The walls are covered with a plethora of framed classic painting and black-and-white portraits.
The graceful chairs are in antique old-Dutch style, typical chairs of wealthy landlords during the 1800s.
The ceiling has gnarled, thin wooded beams.
The square tables are covered with Batik fabric.
It’s a rich-colonialists version of a humble vacation home.
The music thumped with jazz and blues music played by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
Being young and all, I don’t usually listen to this music genre, but I guess it is required by some kind of unwritten law when you come to a classic restaurant.
But such ambience is top notch when you come to entertain business clients or just to have a relaxing atmosphere with your loved one.
