Commune Cafe & Bistro, which first located in Senopati, now re-opened at a new location, called Commune Bistro & Grill located at the Foundry 8, SCBD Sudirman. The one-stop honest concept adopted by Commune presented through the industrial display and wood furniture on their interiors. The industrial style in this restaurant is influenced by the containers, which they use as a wall, and yellowish lighting makes the atmosphere feels warm, chic and relaxing. In their new concept, Commune Bistro & Grills offers a variety of high-value comfort food. I went to Commune last month with some other foodies to try the new Rice Bowl menus, and I decided to come back for lunch with my parents a week ago.
Doctor Red Juice, IDR 40K
A powerful and tasty combination of beetroot, red dragon fruit, carrot and orange juice. It tasted fresh, and all these combos can improve vision because of the high content of beta-carotene. We loved it!
Pork Two Ways Rice Bowl, IDR 75K
So, this is what I tried when Commune invited me and introduce their Rice Bowl menus. Among the 9 other rice bowl, I chose Pork Two Ways simply because it consists of crispy baked pork belly, Chinese BBQ pork, Asian pickle, and sous vide egg. The pork was tender and tasty, and it felt like I was eating Nasi Campur Babi that I usually buy out in Jakarta. Selections of rice are available in 3 options; you can choose either white rice, red rice, or pilaf rice.
Roasted Mushroom, IDR 45K
If you’re a mushroom lover, you have to try the Roasted Mushroom Soup in Commune. They use some selected mushrooms, such as champignons, shiitake, king oysters and shimeji, then roasted all the mushrooms, so it gave a distinct and unique flavor rather than the usual mushroom soup. It was creamy, fragrant and so delicious!
Meatball Sub, IDR 85K
If you’re bored with rice, I recommend you to try the Meatball Sub. My husband ordered this for lunch and we loved it! The housemade meatballs were perfect and this was so good! The savory touch of cheese, sweet tomato sauce, savoy and jalapeno pickle won me over this dish. It was tasty and absolutely delicious!
Bechamel Pizza, IDR 65K
In addition to soup, and sandwich for lunch, we also ordered Bechamel Pizza from the pizza section. It was thin crispy pizza layered with savory combination of pork bacon, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and classic Bechamel sauce. Simple yet so delicious!
Green Tea Molten Cake, IDR 65K
Last but not least, we also tried one dessert called Green Tea Molten Cake. It’s basically the same chocolate brownie cake, served with Ogura ice cream and black sesame tuile. The cake seemed a bit dry and I expected the green tea should be melted in the middle of the cake, not outside like what they served me that day. Although I cut the cake into two parts, there were no melted green tea inside.
Overall, we enjoyed most of the food above that we had for lunch, except the dessert part. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is located in a strategic area. Although the price is slightly expensive considering all prices are subject to 10% tax and 11% service charge of the time of payment, but it was worth it! All the food comes in large portions and quite filling too. So, whenever you’re around SCBD Sudirman, or maybe craving for various Western comfort food, you can pay a visit to Commune Bistro & Grill!
