IO, Jakarta – Being in the metro­politan city, Jakarta, has made its residents thirsty for a lush and cool atmosphere. Likewise for the busi­ness of eating places, we rarely find green nuanced restaurants in the center of Jakarta City. Not many open green spaces, making one of the cafes in the Cikini area, Central Jakarta have a different concept. The presence of the Cafe Paradigm is like an oasis in the middle of a desert. Carrying out the concept of green open space, this Paradigm cafe did not take time for people throughout Jakarta to know about it. Garry, the Marketing Communi­cation of Paradigm Cafe admitted that his party deliberately carried a unique concept amidst the crowded restaurant business in Jakarta. You will not find the door in this cafe, because it’s deliberately left open.

The walls were intentionally unpainted, and the floor was left without tiling. Some corners of the restaurant also has different characteristics. You can choose a spot on the edge with a chair made of cement, the front with the concept of lesehan, or the middle part of the cafe with chairs made of wood.

Industrial design with local touches is very noticeable when archipelago menus such as Honey Grilled Chicken, Mendoan Tem­pe, Oxtail Fried Rice until the Acid Snack Soup is served on the table. The reason for the presentation of the menus here is very modern. For the drinks, Garry said Ice Flower Telang and Cikini Tropical Ice should not be missed when visitors are in the Cafe Paradigm.

Be­sides having a typical Indonesian menu, this café is also often enliv­ened by the creative arts commu­nity. Garry said, the management was indeed happy to accommodate the communities to hold events at the Cafe Paradigm.

“We are indeed positioning itself as a place of creative, open, green meaning and we also want to help people who want to make an event here. For example, being confused about not having a place, can make it here,” he said.
