Jakarta - Café Granvia at Gran Melia Jakarta offers a delightful breakfast experience with a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for families and travelers alike. The moment we stepped in, the inviting aroma of freshly cooked dishes and the warm, elegant setting made it clear that this was going to be more than just a meal, it was an experience. The space felt open yet cozy, perfect for families to linger over breakfast and share laughter before heading out to explore the city.
One of the most delightful things about breakfast here is the incredible variety. The menu brings together flavors from Indonesia, India, Japan, and China, creating a breakfast experience that feels both familiar and exciting. The Indonesian selection steals the show with an array of bubur, from classic plain porridge to rich mung bean porridge, and an extensive choice of milk including fresh, low-fat, almond, chocolate, and soya milk. Soto Ayam, fried rice, beef rendang, spicy chicken, and mie ayam offered a hearty start to the day, satisfying both grown-ups and little ones.
The Taste of India corner was a favorite in our family, with dishes like sambar, masala dosa, chana masala, potato curry, and vada adding warmth and spice to the morning. The Japanese section offered comforting miso soup, tamagoyaki, and savory egg pudding, while the Chinese menu delighted with Hainan chicken, roasted chicken, and vegetables with oyster sauce. Pancakes, waffles, and sweet breads with various jams and pudding rounded out the breakfast experience beautifully. The salad bar added a refreshing touch, perfect for those looking to balance indulgence with fresh vegetables and fruits.
Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared, and it was easy to see why Café Granvia is so highly recommended for expats and business travelers looking for a quality breakfast spot. Yet for us, it was the joy of sharing this feast as a family that made it truly special, the kids excitedly exploring different dishes, the adults savoring the flavors, and all of us enjoying the relaxed elegance of the space.
Breakfast at Café Granvia isn’t just about the food, it’s about starting the day together in a setting that feels luxurious yet welcoming, sophisticated yet family-friendly. It’s a spot where each morning can be a small celebration, and where we left feeling full, happy, and ready to take on Jakarta with energy and smiles.
