From Havana, my father's last post, the adventure took us to Paris, where in 1984 we created a different kind of Indonesian embassy, resolutely dedicated to promoting Indonesia through its culture and especially its cuisine: the Indonesian restaurant DJAKARTA BALI was born.
This Indonesian restaurant has long represented the only link between Indonesia and my family, and we've loaded it with sentiment. May it somehow relieve your soul and transport you to a world of sensations.
