Open : 18.00 – 24.00
Red & White Lounge, from outside it looks
like someone’s house instead of a bar and lounge. And in fact, the whole place
is not that big, it only separated into two sections; Indoor and outdoor
(terrace). Indoor there are many little tables (short and tall) and chairs,
there are also sofas there. In the corner, there is a space for music performances;
yes they have regular jazz performances here, EVERYDAY.
Who’s play here? Named all jazz musicians! Barry Likumahuwa, Nicky Manuputty,
Syaharani, Indro Hardjodikoro, and many more. If you don’t know yet, this place is owned by mas
Indra Lesmana and his wife, mbak Honhon Lesmana. So, no wonder if you’ll see all great
musicians have their show here, I mean, this place was built for that purpose;
so that jazz musicians got a place to spread jazz regularly. Hmm, in the
corner of this place, there are full band equipment provided; piano, guitar, double bass, and
full set drum.
Focus to the interior, this place is dominated by brown, with a touch of black from the sofas and chairs, and maroon from the
ceiling. The lights are dim here. So quiet, but you’ll hear jazz music
sounded softly all around the place that’s gonna make you say, “what a jazzy
place!”.

On the outdoor, there are some bigger tables and
chairs, I don’t remember the exact numbers of all the tables and chairs. Not
much different from the indoor, the lights here also dim. It makes me think,
Red & White Lounge could be a perfect place for a romantic dinner. Go ask
your boyfriend or girlfriend to have dinner NOW! :D
Though it takes place in the middle of the youth

(*) the price and menus would've change without notification.
I tried some meals from the menus; grilled chicken,
French fries, pasta, iced cappuccino, Thai iced tea, and Crème brûlée. Too bad,
I think there are nothing special about the taste, standard taste. I love
coffee, so I feel a little disappointed when my iced cappuccino came, the taste
was not much different compare to the one I made by myself back home. They
serve chili powder for the pasta, but the chili powder was different compare to
any pasta restaurant. From all the meal we ordered, the best and the champion
of all was the Crème Bruelle. It tastes so smooth and melts in mouth. My friend said "It’s even
the best Crème brûlée I’ve ever taste".

I suggest you, it is better if you let your
stomach empty before you come here. With minimum purchase, it’s just like a
buffet; you can eat as much as you want. My friend and I was like order four
persons meal for two persons only, so full! You won’t regret the price you pay.
It’s worth all the joy you’ll get here, especially if you come when there’s
jazz performance; you’ll stay all night long and mind to leave.
Over all, I love the place. Homey and jazzy
atmosphere, makes me don’t mind to stay any longer. I’m gonna love it better
once they do something about their menus. But, I assure you, I’d love to be
back here.
Until the next meeting at Red & White
Lounge :)
Cheers and Beer,
