Good news for the pork fanatics, we have another watering hole we can call home. Although technically not in Jakarta, we feel some kind of obligation to share the world this latest finding in the carnivore world.
Being a Muslim-majority city, it can be a tricky to find a decent pork restaurant in Jakarta, especially that of German style cooking. There’s literally a handful of them and for its exclusivity, comes the high price too. Then comes Metro, a laid back bar/restaurant in BSD area that for the last year, has been attracting visitors not only from its close vicinities but also from all over Jakarta. It serves great food that in a similar place elsewhere, would cost at least twice as much.
On its first floor, you will find the dining areas, suitable for most dining settings, and on the second floor, you will find not only a bar, but also pool tables, dart boards, and a stage for live music performance, and a 60″ screen TV, perfect for those lively sports-watching/drinking nights.
Although Metro also serves a wide range of favourite western food like burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas, bearing the title ‘german’ restaurant naturally means some of the must tries in this restaurants are its pork dishes. Such as their bacon-wrapped tenderloin that is crispy on the inside and incredibly tender inside, served with either french fries, baked/gratin/mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and german apple cream sauce (pictured below).
Pork Tenderloin, Rp. 145,000,-
Another favourite is their legendary Pork Knuckle, which by many of Metro’s patrons are considered the best in the city and incredibly enough, offers the best value for your money too. Weighing nearly 1 Kg, don’t be too shy if you want to share the humongous portion! You might also want to try their selections of wursts or sausages that you can sample with the Sausage Platter. From the bratwurst, hirtenwurst, pork tuhringer, beef chorizos, served with your choice of potatoes.
Pork Knuckle, Rp. 185,000,-
Sausage Platter, Rp. 170,000
Although it is famous for its pork dishes, those who don’t eat pork can sigh in relief and thank Metro’s large menu. Other than the obvious western fares, their menu also includes Indonesian favourites and a wide range of International cuisine.
