There’s nothing like having your whole family or group of friends together for a meal. The best memories are the ones spent on food, where good times are shared, and if there is no cooking or cleaning up afterwards involved, that makes it so much better! It can be a task looking for family-friendly
food spots in Indonesia, ones that can cater to the babies of the family as well as the elderly. Here are our picks for family-friendly
dining in Indonesia – because they are cheap, cater to children, have buffet or platter options, or are good for big groups.

3) Fish & Co.
With multiple branches across
Jakarta, Fish & Co. is easy enough to locate. They are best known for their fish and chips – you can’t go wrong with that. As seafood places go, their price range is slightly above average, but since they have platters on offer, a few people sharing one dish means you pay less per person. In addition to their seafood dishes and platters, they have salads, pasta, rice, and pizza on their menu as well, in case you have a few non-seafood lovers in your group.

With several outlets around Jakarta, Bakmi GM serves up Asian fast food quick – which is just what you want when you’ve got little kids in tow.

Their variety of noodles and Chinese, Asian and Indonesian cuisine, as well as vegetarian options, are great for picky eaters.
6) Layar Seafood Jakarta
A popular place, Layar Seafood is especially crowded on the weekends, so make sure you are prepared to wait. Once you do get seated, however, the food comes fast and is good! They have a great selection of seafood that can be made to order – perfect for those who are particular with how their food is cooked or what goes in it. The spacious restaurant has space for large gatherings, but they make it better by not just having an A/C and non-A/C area, but also a private room to host your crowd. Layar Seafood is one of the best places for group gathering Indonesia, and even though they are not the cheapest, it is worth the price.
