Classy Eatery in The City Center
De Soematra Chocolate Trilogy (de Soematra) |
De Soematra adalah salah satu tempat makan yang mewah dan berlokasi di jalan Sumatra, beberapa tempat ternama juga buka di sini. Di jalan yang sama Domicile dan Isola, dua tempat makan yang tidak kalah beken. Berbeda dengan dua resto tersebut, De Soematra menyajikan menu fine dining.
De Soematra is one of the upscale restaurant in Surabaya, it's located in Sumatra street, where some notable dining options are also available. On the same street you'll find Domicile and Isola.
Compared to those two which are casual dining option, Isola is more upscale, with fine dining menu accompanied by a very exquisitely designed place.

Selain bangunan yang indah, perhatian pada detail dekorasi juga diperhatikan. Mulai dari awal masuk, kita disambut dengan beragam rangkaian bunga, hingga ke dalam ruangan tempat makan, dari meja hingga lemari dan kabinet berhias bunga mawar merah.
The Place is elegant and spacious, while the building itself is a restored antique house, which seems to date from the dutch colonial period.
They are giving lavish attention to the small details. They keep lots of fresh flower arrangements, from the table on the front lobby, to each individual table and room which are adorned with romantic red roses.
Each table are situated in a private room, apart from the exclusiveness, it also give boost to romantic mood, which makes this place a great choice for romantic dates.
They use round table which are the same size as you'd see in Chinese restaurants to host 10 guests, here it's accommodating couples.

de Soematra Appetizer - Surabaya |
Pan Fried Baby Lobster with Ratatouille, Spicy Tomato, Eggplant caviar & basil oil (de Soematra) |
This two appetizers were done perfectly, with balanced taste and not a hint of fishiness. Seems that the first one were crab based and it's a nice complimentary from the restaurant.
The crab appetizer were velvety and sweet, while the lobster blends nicely with the bright sauce and the texture of the vegetable.

US Striploin Beef Fillet served with potato parfait, spring vegetables & bordelaise sauce (de Soematra) |
The main menu finally arrive and it's this yummy looking striploin. It's cooked perfectly, still juicy with a nice char grill, the sauce compliments it nicely. We liked their cooking results and the thickness of the cut. There are better steaks in Surabaya for our taste, but this one is on the same league with those old favorites.
Spaghetti Carbonara Vegetarian (De Soematra) - Rp 102.500 |
Walaupun di menu tidak ada pilihan makanan vegetarian, untungnya staf di sana bisa memberikan pilihan salah satu dari pasta mereka untuk dibuatkan versi vegetarian-nya. Pilihan kali itu jatuh pada Spaghetti Carbonara
Though they didn't have any vegetarian options on their menu, fortunately some of their pastas can be prepared vegetarian style, so the choice went to this Spaghetti Carbonara.
De Soematra Chocolate Trilogy (de Soematra) |
Hidangan set menu kali ini cukup ok, kalaupun ada satu yang bisa diharapkan untuk ditingkatkan adalah di dessert Chocolate Trilogy ini, rasanya termasuk tidak terlalu istimewa, kurang cocok dengan selera kita, mungki kalau komponen di dalamnya lebih banyak rasa dark chocolate akan lebih enak. Petit Fours di bagian bawah ini yang menjadi dessert favorit kita
The set menu we savored were quite nice, if there's one room for improvement, it's on their dessert of Chocolate Trilogy. It tastes a bit strange together, would love for it to be a bit more on the dark chocolate side, as oppose to the milk chocolate taste that we had.
The Petit Fours on the other hand is spot on.
