Staying at the Hotel Tentrem (recommended) we were seeking an alternative and hopefully superior restaurant to the hotel restaurants, which are quite good. Based on the reviews on this site we selected this restaurant. Gadjah Wong may be great by local standards, but it depends on your point of reference. The service was attentive and actually better than the hotel.... More

We fell in love with Gadjah Wong as soon as we stepped inside. We were given a choice between three themed dining areas and chose the open area with traditional Javanese music. My 4 year old was mesmerized by the music and now practices on his Gamelon at home. The menu was smaller than expected, but still had many choices.... More

According to locals this is the most expensive restaurant in Yogya and one of the best. It's where expats go. Actually for western standards it's not expensive at all and is really good food and service. Highly recommend.

Great food, great place, nice ambience for a semi-fine dining restaurant with live music. The prices are a little bit high for local people. The Dutch man says "gezellig" !

We arrived soaking wet as the rain was pooring down, and were greated warmly by hostesses who offered towels. The menu is not large, but has plenty of options. The chicken sate and duck were very good. It is quite expensive, but worth it.

We spend dinner in Gadjah Wong almost every time came to Jogja, because they offered you nice meal yet have a nice live music performance. Mostly people came for dine in jazz area, they have three themes of music while the others were traditional/gamelan and country song. I preferred Jazz.

My family has visited this restaurant off & on over many years on our occasional visits to Jogja. This restaurant has always been simply amazing. The ambiance (whether you choose one of the small pavilions subtly lit out by the river or inside with soft gamelan orchestra music serenading you) is excellent. The service is superb. The food delicious. The... More
