Lewis & Carroll

Top choice in Jakarta


There are more than 70 types of artisanal tea on offer at Lewis & Carroll. The tea lounge serves locally sourced teas with names like Batavia Grey and Java Jewels. If you don’t know where to start, the fragrant loose-leaf teas are presented in trays of test tubes that you can smell before ordering.

The kitchen also serves top dishes from all-day breakfast classics like Nutella French toast and Aussie platters with steak, beef sausage and baked beans to healthy organic salad bowls and a selection of sweet pastries.
