Everybody was telling me about a place called "Louis" in Mega Kunigan, but I couldn't find where it was or what it was. It took me two months to realize that people were actually talking about Loewy, that you should prononce like Loui (english speakers) or Louis (French speakers).It is retro-chic, with a cosmopolitan vibe: Half the customers are foreigners, and the other half Indonesians, usually between 30 and 45 years-old. Most of them upper-class. It is owned by some of the folks behind Potato Head, from which they took the idea to partially open the restaurant to the air. This is quite bold for Jakarta, and you may feel hot inside when it is packed.
Since it opened in 2008, Loewy has always been a happening venue, anytime of the day. People go there for lunch, for brunches, for an after-work drink, and finally to party. They have decent European food, quite pricey, and a long selection of drinks, wine and cocktails. Starting at around 10pm, the music gets louder, and the bar will start being very lively, with a lot of flirting and teasing around among the clients. If you are single, this is a spot to try, especially on Wednesdays.
Overall: Loewy has a lot of charm, and it is crowded most of the time. The restaurant, in my opinion, is worth a try, but the most interesting is the bar, which can be a great venue for a pre-clubbing drink. If you hate posh, expensive places, with a corporate vibe, avoid it though.
One more thing: Make a reservation for eating.
