For many, the image of fine dining conjures up thoughts of expensive meals. A single set course might seem like it could cost a significant amount of money. However, in Bandung, this notion is challenged by the emergence of various fine dining establishments with interesting concepts and affordable prices. One such place is Altero Bistronomie, which presents "Whispers of Flaneurs: Navigating Flavorful Discoveries."
If you have yet to hear of Altero Bistronomie, it's a restaurant that opened in 2023. Generally, Altero Bistronomie adopts a contemporary restaurant concept with Asian influences. Recently, we had the opportunity to partake in their second tasting menu themed "Voyage."
Resto Ambience
Voyage, derived from French, means journey. Flaneurs (wanderers), the icon embraced by Altero Bistronomie, is a trend from 19th-century France, where people would wander the city aimlessly, walking and appreciating the small details often overlooked in daily life. This meaning is reflected in Altero Bistronomi's year-long journey showcased in this tasting menu.
Under the "Voyage" theme, they offer three set menu options. We tried the "Voyage de la Sérénité," which includes a 6-course menu set priced at only 299++/pax. The menu includes:
Tarlet, Beef Kebabs, Asian Pomme Puree
- Tartlet, Beef Kebabs, Asian Pomme Puree
- Prawn, Homemade Brioche, Spicy Garlic
- Sous Vide Apel Malang, Kombucha, Apple Compote, Basil Oil
- Bouillabaisse Broth, Pangandaran Seafood, Herbs
- Organic Chicken Breast, Charred Broccoli, Sakugen Creme
- Baked le Gateau, Berries Sorbet, White Couverture Whip
Local Farmer Organic Chicken
In the "Voyage de la Sérénité" package, they serve local farmer organic chicken as the main course. An interesting story about this menu is that the chickens are raised while listening to music to prevent stress. More uniquely, the music played is the recitation of the Quran. We don't know how effective this method is, but the chicken we tasted was truly tender.
Besides the main course, all the dishes served in this set were incredibly delicious. We also enjoyed the "Voyage Parfait" beverage package to complement the meal. For 130++/pax, we could savor three unique zero-proof alcohol. All the drinks were served directly by the bartender at our table.
Unique Zero-proff alcohol
In addition to "Voyage de la Sérénité," you can also choose from two other packages:
"Voyage du Rêve," 449++/pax (8-Course Menu), with the main course of Pangandaran king prawn.
"Voyage du Paradis," 599++/pax (9-Course Menu), with the main course of 25 days Dry Aged Striploin Kiwami 9+.
So, invite your loved ones to enjoy "Whispers of Flaneurs: Navigating Flavorful Discoveries" at Altero Bistronomie!
