*REVIEW* Basilia Cafe and Dine

04.32 Unknown 0 Comments

Hi Readers!

Today I'm gonna write a review about our first experience at Basilia Cafe. It's a local cafe based in Semarang, Central java, Indonesia. They call themselves as the Natural Kitchen. This year will be their 9th year since the first they opened their cafe. They claimed that they only use the best ingredients also they avoid MSG or any other food addictives. They also said that they use organic veggies and fruits from the local farmers. Well, we really enthusiast about it. 

Basilia Cafe are located in 2 places in Semarang. The first is in the Simpang Lima area which is inside of the Mall. The second one is located in Jatingaleh area and they are in their own building. We went to the second cafe because Ryo want to try their homey feels in their own building. 

It was about at 1pm when we got there. First impression, well it's gonna be cozy and homey place. But I hate when Ryo said that the building used to be a horror house. Aaargghh! It's 2 levels house, the first level quite crowded, and I don't like it. Because the space is too small for me. We went to the 2nd level which is outdoor area. The area wasn't too wide, but it's just enough. We got a bonus, it was quiet and it's only two of us there. Yay! Second level is an open space with cozy and homey decoration. There is so many table and chairs in vary size and shape. We choose the coffee table and sofa. 




The air wasn't hot at all, it's quite mild and cool. Maybe because it's located in higher area in Semarang. There's lots of lights and it's probably be very romantic in the night. We can see Semarang landscape view from there. It's perfect for chilling up and release the stress. Unfortunatelly, there is no live music. Or Maybe because we went there in the noon. Well, we don't know yet. Perhaps we have to back there in the night to feel the night ambience. 


Waiter was going very nice. We ordered pizza and french fries with some fresh drinks. Need to be patient a little bit for food to come. Well, it's not a fast food restaurant. Ha! Taste is so good, especially the pizza. We ordered Absolute Meety Pizza in small size (IDR 49k). It's an Italy style pizza, which is thin dough and crispy pizza topping with various kind of beef meats, olives, onion, mushrooms, paprika, tomatoes, mozarella, and homemade tomatoes sauce. I love it. French fries (IDR 22k) went too big portion for us in the end. We ordered the big portion one, if we know that was too big, we gonna ordered the small one. For the drink, I ordered Honey Lemon with Basil twist (IDR 18.9k). Really refreshing but if there's an option, I prefer to change the basil with mint. Ryo ordered the cappucino ice (IDR 19.9k). Taste is just so-so. Just like the common cappucino ice. But whatever, he loves coffee. 



At first I think the price will be killing us. But I was wrong. It's cheap enough for a fresh, homemade, and organic food. Price range is about IDR 11.5k - IDR 75k for the food and IDR 10.5k - IDR 125k for the drinks. They provide beers and alcoholic drinks. For food, they have soups and salads for appetizer. They have western and asian style for the maincourse. Some ice cream, fruits, and sweet treats for desserts. Also they have some snacks. Complete enough to satisfy your tummy.

We snapped some pictures for our documentary need. Act like a pro blogger. Ha! Oh I almost forgot. I have to tell you that all the price is not include the 10% tax yet. So don't be forget if you order, do count your taxes too!


So here's my overall ratings :
1. PLACE     4.5/5
2. SERVICE   5/5
3. FOOD       4/5
4. PRICE       middle up (tax isn't include yet)

RECOMENDED ?    YES
GO BACK ?           YES

We absolutely gonna go there again for another visit. It's kinda perfect place to hangout and chit chat with your friends, bf/gf, family, or even with your colleague. I do recomend the second level because it has more space to breath. Ha! See you on the next post. Stay catch up with us.

xoxo,

DILA
