Becoming a vegetarian was not as easy as I imagined. Especially when you are on vacation in Jakarta, where most of the population is not vegetarian, various places to eat seafood, steak, and all you can eat are more often found here. Finding a place to eat that sells a menu for vegetarians is a challenge in itself. That’s why we can help you find the most popular vegetarian places to eat in Jakarta.
1. Dharma Kitchen
Who says that vegetarians can only eat vegetables and fruit? Vegetarians can eat seafood and meat too! However, you have to eat at Dharma Kitchen, right! Because this restaurant can process rendang (the most popular beef dish in Indonesia) and various other non-vege foods without using meat or fish. The rendang at Dharma Kitchen is an “imitation” version to make meat, and this restaurant must use soy or mushroom feet.
Meanwhile, seafood dishes are made from konyaku flour. In addition to these foods, Dharma Kitchen also sells chicken kremes, Szechuan fish, and ham sandwiches, all of which are imitations. Intrigued by the “fake” food offered by Dharma Kitchen? Come to the location at Jalan Pluit Kencana Raya No. 106-110, Pluit, Jakarta.
2. Loving Hut
Do you miss eating vegetarian dishes from your country while on vacation in Jakarta? Loving Hut is a place to eat that serves vegetarian menus from various countries. For example, Loving Hut’s mainstay menu for Indonesian dishes is Soto Jakarta and Nasi Bali. While from Thailand, there is Tom Yum Soup, and there is Savory Roll Treat from China. You have to try Tom Yum for vegetarians here. Not only in Jakarta, but Loving Hut has also opened several branches in big cities in Indonesia. When you are in Jakarta, you can head to the Loving Hut branches of Kemanggisan and Tanjung Duren.
