At day, Jakarta has this ‘ordinary metropolitan city view’—vehicles honking each other in the middle of traffic jam, busy roads with street peddlers on the roadside, all surrounded by the tall skyscrapers. It looks stressful and hectic, undoubtedly.
At night, the main roads may still be busy but there is beautiful scenery around—the sparkling lights from skyscrapers.
No wonder if there are many dining lounges and bars in Jakarta that offer these strikingly beautiful night view of Jakarta. These restaurants are situated at the upper floor and even rooftop of the high rise buildings, giving you new dining experiences. The prices of the foods may be a little bit pricey but they’re worth the quality of the foods, and of course the ambiance.
Here are top 10 sky dining spots in Jakarta that are waiting for your visit:
