A new exciting dining spot is now opening, this is Flynn Dine & Bar. A bar & restaurant with casual modern vibe and super laid back ambiance. Its located at the former E&O restaurant around Lingkar Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. As what we heard from the Head Chef, they waited for a whole long year to get this beautiful spot. The Head Chef was previously working in a popular restaurant in Jakarta before he finally decided to establish his own restaurant. The food itself is a combination of Indonesian, Asian, and Western fusion. We'll show you our short review of this newly opened restaurant.
As it was pretty new (opening early November 2018) by the time we're visiting here, the room was relatively quite. It was so comfortable, the jazzy music was complementing the dining experience, definitely great for us who have a little kid.

As this is a preview session, we'll only review the foods that we personally tried. The rests are only for your reference :)
Time for Yuzu (125k) - gin, yuzu, thyme. Personally one of the best Yuzu based cocktails we've ever tried. Its just the perfect balance of yuzu acidic, little bitter of gin and exotic flavor of thyme. We wish it was bigger than that, we want more!
The Swirl (130k) - tequila, lychee, and basil leaf. Not as favorite as the yuzu one as the main basil flavor wasn't quite intense for our liking. You have to wait the frozen shaved ice melts until you can get all those ingredients blend together.
Let's start with the foods!
Sous Vide Octopus (95k) - one of the recommended entrees. Very tender octopus (somehow has that chicken-like texture), with baba ganoush aka eggplant puree, olive, cherry tomato, and crispy bread. We love how the puree reminded us of Middle Eastern's hummus.
Sesame Crusted Barramundi I Fumie (100k) - inspired by the classic Chinese's ifumie with blackbean and barramundi covered with black and white sesame. This one is very big in portion and honestly its the first ifumie dish in a typical bar in Jakarta (as far as what we know)
Moroccan Lamb Skewer (155k) - Quinoa, Raisins, Pomegranate, Harissa. A very fragrant Middle Eastern style lamb skewer. We found the meat to be thick fat juicy with that strong aroma of lamb (some might not like the smell). The red sauce was made of red pepper (or paprika) with a little hint of spiciness and sweet flavor. Love the idea of having sweet and crunchy pomegranate as well! But portion wise, it was pretty petite for a guy (so make sure to have some other foods)
Here are some other foods that we didn't try
Crispy Pork Belly (135k) ~ crispy Skin and Juicy Meat with pomme puree and gooseberry.
Pumpkin Gnocchi (95k) - confit pumpkin, ricotta & candied walnut.
Squid Ink Fish & Chips (105k) - mint, peas and tar tar sauce.
Yoghurt Panna Cotta (55k) with grape and mint oil. Pretty thick yet smooth texture though its not that super soft and silky smooth. But perfect mild sweetness with that added crunchiness from granola.
Bonus shot ~ Our baby's 10 month old exactly on the day we were here :) Thank you guys for reading and have a great day!
