Monsieur Spoon PIK
In 2012, Monsieur Spoon chose Bali as its home base where they established their first flagship store on the famous island. Nine years and five more outlets later, they’ve successfully established themselves as one of the go-to French bakery cafe in Bali and continue their expansion outside the island by opening its first outlet in Jakarta at Urban Farm PIK on April 30, 2021. Just like their Bali outlets, Monsieur Spoon PIK also carries a wide variety of artisan breads, desserts and pastries, including their signature French all-butter croissant, a well-known best-seller in Bali.
The architecture of the bakery cafe itself is inspired by the French conservatory with cushion seats by tall windows, French rattan chairs and round marble tables decorating the interior. The space is pretty and classy, yet still casual enough for people to come without having to dress up to the nines. They also have outdoor areas with plenty of seatings if you prefer the fresh air but if you come here during lunch or day time, sitting outside can get pretty hot, especially on a sunny day.
After we sat down at our table, the server came over and took our orders. I came for lunch with a friend so we ordered the main dishes and skipped the pastries.
The Food
King Prawn Angle Hair (135K) | 8/10
Pan seared king prawn, tomato fondue, cashew nut, and basil pesto. A light and tasty dish. The pan seared King Prawns were cooked nicely. The meat texture was nice, firm and juicy. The fresh tomato fondue and the basil pesto were also a nice combination. And the chili flakes gave a nice little kick to the dish. Overall, a beautifully presented and tasty dish and I really enjoyed it.
Chicken Cordon Bleu (120k) | 7/10
Organic chicken, beef bacon, emmental cheese, fresh tarragon, and French fries. The breading was crispy and not too thick. The chicken was cooked well, tender and moist with melted cheese around it. The french fries were also good. I’m usually pretty picky with chicken dish in general, but this was pretty alright for me.
Overall, it was a nice satisfying meal. The service was great. The servers were friendly and they were quick to tend to our requests during our meal. One additional note, as nice as the lighting is, the seats by the windows could get pretty hot during the day (we moved table because the sun was a little too hot and the air-con wasn’t too cold inside) so if you plan to come, maybe don’t wear an all black shirt like me or choose a table away from the windows to avoid that.
