Café Batavia, Colonial restaurant in Kota Tua, Indonesia
Café Batavia is a two-story 1830s building with large shuttered windows and a wooden gallery overlooking Taman Fatahillah square. The upper floor features a spacious dining hall, while a teakwood staircase connects the two levels throughout the structure.
The building was originally constructed in the 1830s as lodging for Dutch East India Company officers. It later housed an art gallery before its conversion into a restaurant in 1993.
The walls display photographs from the 1930s to 1950s showing Indonesian daily life during that era. These images give visitors a window into how people lived and worked in those decades.
The restaurant is located on Taman Fatahillah square in Kota Tua, a historic area easily explored on foot. It sits near other colonial buildings and is accessible by public transportation.
The Winston Churchill bar section was recognized by Newsweek International in the 1990s for its outstanding quality. This recognition brought international attention to this part of the establishment.
