Boka Buka Cipete

March 2, 2014

Boka Buka Cipete, this traditional french restaurant serves a homey feeling once you stepped into the restaurant. If you looked the restaurant from the outside, it looks just like another common restaurants, but the inside is something different. Even the washroom was designed like the one you have in your house.

The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe because it was lunch time. But it didn't stop me from trying it, because I heard from friends that this restaurant serves a really good escargot at a reasonable price.

So here's the review:

The waiter started with giving free amuse bouche of two small glasses of lemongrass. Then came the complimentary bread with garlic butter. 


Bread with Garlic Butter
The garlic butter was good. If only they serve it in bigger portion... :p

Lemongrass 
Loved the lemongrass 

Escargots de Bourgogne (6 pcs)
Definitely one of the best escargots in town. Lots of garlic butter, which probably made it really tasty.

Green Olive Fetta Cheese Salad
Lovely Salad with olives and fetta cheese. yummy

Creamy Chicken Mushroom in Crepes
Great crepes. But could be better, they're missing something, but I don't know what. :p

Spaghetti Aglio Olio
Pretty good aglio olio. 

Overall, it was great. I would definitely come back here again for the escargots, appetiser and salad. The main courses were not that spectacular. They're lacking the basic ingredients of the original taste.

Rate: 7/10
Price: $$$ (Spent around Rp. 300.000,- lunch for two)
