Cacaote Patisserie Brasserie Bar, a Restaurant and Dessert Bar in Senopati, has just turned a year this September 2014. To celebrate their one-year anniversary, its humble and friendly owner invited us to tasting a variety of French-inspired new menu creations. I fell in love with their pretty decorations and romantic ambience when I stepped into the restaurant. Cacaote has its own characteristics with a very luxurious interior. Luxurious floor and furniture, plus those beautiful chandeliers that hang from the ceiling of the restaurant gives a different dining experience for anyone. Consisting of two floors, where the first floor has a bright and cute atmosphere decorated in pink and white, while on the 2nd floor looks more elegant in its design with dominant black and dark red color.
Various Canapes as a welcome snack at Cacaote.
Me and my husband were free to select any appetizers and any main course that’s available at Cacaote. Executive Pastry Chef, Darryl Iswaratioso, who is also one of the owners, recommends us some of his favorite menus.
Baked Escargot, IDR 75K
The Baked Escargot was simply impressive. It is a delicious dish that I always look for in a French restaurant. It is served with crusty toasted pita bread. The Provençal butter gives a nice flavor to the snails, where the garlic is not overpowering. Love it!
Warm Camembert Salad, IDR 95K
A mixed green salads with thinly sliced smoked duck breast, toasted brioche, Camembert cheese, and honey mustard dressing. The Camembert cheese makes the salad became more tasty and interesting! Recommended!
Salmon, IDR 155K
A pan-seared salmon fish served with white clams, braised fennel, sauteed spinach and chives beurre Blanc. This classic French butter sauce makes an elegant finish to the salmon. It was perfectly cooked, moist meat and crispy skin. A must try!
Roasted Duck Breast & Leg Confit, IDR 180K
+ additional Foie Gras, IDR 95K
I guess everyone knows that duck confit is one of the most delicious and satisfying foods in the world. So I ordered this menu for myself that night. Pressed confit leg, roasted duck breast with caramelized carrot and sweet sour sauce is totally delicious! The rich and meaty flavor of this menu will excite everyone’s flavor, especially when the soft Foie Gras melts on the tongue. Oh my gosh, I loved it so much!
It looks like our meal hasn’t stopped there. Darryl also presents several other new menus to share. There was pizza, Middle Eastern “Mixed Grill,” Cajun Whole Chicken, Prime Veal Op Ribs, and Wagyu Short Rib Bone In. Both of us already feel full so we could only taste little by little from the share menu provided. For the pizza, we both loved their thin and crunchy gourmet pizza, such as Portabella and Smoked Duck Pizza. Both of us also fell in love with Wagyu Short Rib which is beautifully tender, tasty and juicy. Not to forget, Prime Veal Op Ribs also something that you shouldn’t miss in Cacaote.
Portabella Pizza, IDR 95K

Cacaote also has a wide selection of French style desserts available at the dessert bar, such as eclairs, macaroons, and cakes. Overall, we were truly enjoyed all the new menus, especially those that has been recommended by Darryl. Thank you so much for having us that night! Pssst, they’re going to open a new restaurant in Central Jakarta, but this one is not related to Cacaote. “Hopefully by the end of this year,” Darryl said. We can’t wait to make a visit. Stay tuned, friends! 🙂
