Amazing amazing! 5 stars menu for western also 5 stars menu for nusantara! The chef able to balance and give the best from each menu. The dessert was another level!
Highly recommend this place!

When the Michelin guide comes to Indonesia, this restaurant needs to be on it. The quality of the food is insanely good. I'll admit I went for a pasta on New Year's Eve, but I can say it was on par with the best I had in Italy.

The owner, Richie, trained for 15 years in the U.S., and brought his culinary skills back to his hometown. He's also a legendary chocolatier. The creations are both dazzling and delicious.

You'd never notice the restaurant from the outside, but inside is beautifully decorated, and the staff deliver perfect hospitality. There's also an incredible bar in the back.

If you're looking for fine dining of the highest quality in Jakarta, Crio is yoru place!

Perfect for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

Crio has a modern and stunning interior. I tried their salmon, duck, cakes, pizza, and chocolate, all the food was worth the price in terms of taste, portion, and presentation. I particularly loved their cake (priced at 65k, as far as I remember), but some variations contain alcohol, so it's best to ask the waitress about the ingredients. In this restaurant, you can also enjoy live music and a separate bar area. At the end of our visit, the chef or restaurant owner gave us complimentary treats, including two chocolates, one hazelnut bar, and one bon-bon. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very attentive, even when it came to clearing tissue from our table. The restroom was also luxurious. I will definitely come back!

Love the food here, esp the dessert!

Got to try the lobster mac & cheese and le flair dessert. The lobster mac & cheese is full of lobster meat chunks and tasted elevated compared to usual mac & cheese. But the highlight of the this place goes to le flair. Its looks and taste amazing, with the combo of sweet & sour flavor from ruby chocolate,berries, & hibiscus. I also got their chocolate covered pound cake which is huge and taste great. Defo will come back!

Amazing second-to-none dining experience with visually appealing and delicious pastry desserts and mains. Over multiple visits, we got to try their range of petit gateux and bonbons —they were divine! (especially Mattina, Kaffe and Xocolatl)

We got to try their signature cocktails: Boulevard of Broken Dreams (IDR 190,000), Dangerous Beauty (IDR 190,000); pretty decent.

The service was amazing, with friendly staff that would remember their customers and would welcome us and walk us through their restaurant and menu well. The atmosphere has a dimmed classy somewhat “Great Gatsby” vibe, with the main dining area overlooking the pastry kitchen where skilled chefs would make pastries, chocolates and bonbons.

On one visit, the chef and chocolatier even approached us to try their new bonbon flavour - Coquito (Puerto Rican Eggnog).
Amazing pastries and chocolate, great service - definitely woul be coming back and would highly recommend!
