That’s not all — the restaurant also offers a wide array of activities, so your kids will be kept busy.
Let’s take a look at what this slice of heaven has to offer.
Talaga Sampireun has several outlets. But the one located in Bintaro, Greater Jakarta, is situated in a ‘floating’ cluster of huts, allowing you to dine while taking in the view of the tranquil lake.

There is nothing to be seen for miles, except similar straw-covered huts and the glittering lake, offering a reprieve for those of us who badly need a break from work.

In stark contrast to the city, this floating paradise surrounds you with the beauty of nature, letting you forget about deadlines and Zoom meetings for a while.
If you find yourself wanting to set foot on land, Talaga Sampireun has plenty of garden tables and mini shacks for you to chill with your friends.

More adventurous diners can opt for live seafood. Be prepared for the lobster jumping off your plate, though.
The prices are fairly reasonable for a delightful lakeside dining experience too, with family packages available.
Great cuisine and fantastic views are not all that’s offered by Talaga Sampireun. The restaurant has taken the needs of children into account and provided fun activities for the young ones.
The sprawling playground outfitted with slides will allow your child to run around freely and have a jolly good time.
And if that’s not to your kids’ taste, there are other activities for them to try. The restaurant staff offers every patron one packet of fish feed to feed the marine wildlife swimming in the waters.
You will be able to take in the sunset with your sprog and perhaps even learn more about the different species of fish living within the vicinity. Doesn’t that sound like a perfect evening?
