"The Ya-Udah Bistro defies the world!
They said we would never dare. But we have!

In defiance of world opinion, common sense and, above all, sheer public opposition we are coming back for more.

Yes, the Ya-Udah Bistro returns!

Bloodied but not beaten by our earlier battering, we are back on our feet and coming out fighting.

Look out for the Ya-Udah Bistro's daring revival at

Kelapa Gading Boulevard on June the 11th

The Ya-Udah Bistro: Daring to defy."

Yah Udah! Bistro open again
After they closed their cafe on Jalan Jaksa, frankly we missed our best sausage restaurant in this town. I asked my friend to find out that restaurant. She called the owner of this restaurant, and the owner said will open soon.

We seems lost contact after send sms to the owner.
And we already forgot it, because we thought impossible open Yah Udah Bistro again!
But we wrong…THEY’RE OPEN !!
June 11,2008 they were open at Kelapa Gading, at boulevard raya .
We really amazing that Ya Udah Bistro open again, thanks God my prayer answered
I really love Ya Udah Bistro,nothing but sausage ! Every time go there eat sausage is a MUST.
German Krauker, German Farmer with German fries, so cool, taste so delicious. If you had eat Sausage World or Frankfuter, Ya Udah Bistro incomparable. Ya Udah Bistro one of benchmark of German sausage, i think !
I don’t want to write more, you have to go there, then taste it !

In common with most people I had long thought it impossible to turn a silk purse into a sow’s ear. Now I know otherwise. When the peerless Jalan Jaksa emporium ‘Ya-Udah Bistro’ closed its doors last weekend that was bad enough but the scuttlebutt now has it* that the premises will become a…karaoke bar! Pass the spittoon, would you!

I was the very first customer through the gate just under seven years ago and the last one out. I can safely say I have been its most frequent visitor, even allowing for four months medical treatment in the UK three and a bit years ago. That, I think, qualifies me to make a few comments.

Owner XXXXX is a Swiss from Zurich in which city he once ran a British-style pub. He once also worked for Swissair. He knows all about catering, a field in which the Swiss excel and down the years it showed.

The motto of the ‘Bistro’ was “Quality…an understatement!” and a few blemishes apart XXXXX has set the standard for others to copy, if they can. He may or may not have read James Joyce, who once said Swiss cities are so hygienic that you could eat a fried egg off the pavements. Certainly, I never doubted the cleanliness of the place, and it has been the only eatery I have ever known where the waitresses were expected to polish the menus page for page!

Price-wise it was almost impossible to beat. Where else would you get a very large bowl of Chef’s Salad for Rp.17,000, replete with fresh veg, chicken strips and boiled egg. Where else would you get top quality German sausages with a potato side dish of your choice for Rp 29,000 (c.US$3), no plus-plus?

There was over the years a real international quality to XXXXX ’s extensive menu. At various stages Swiss, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Thai, British, American, Mexican, Indonesian, Japanese and other cuisines have been represented.

XXXXX can be gruff, a little brusque and if he got a bee in his bonnet about someone they soon found out. Hence, one or two folk got the heave-ho. And one or two silly buggers reacted rather childishly by setting up a scurrilous website called ‘Ya-udah Sucks’. Very silly buggers! XXXXX over-reacted to this by threatening legal action when it would have been better to ignore it.

Beneath that gruff exterior is a very kind man and I can speak readily of his kindness and consideration towards the late Peter Sanders, a hugely popular Jaksa expatriate, and of other instances too.

Oh, and his beer was cold and cheap to the last! Only Rp 16,000 for a large Bintang right down to the wire.

There is talk of him having acquired some other premises in the vicinity. In the meantime Arthur Morgan’s ‘Romance Bar’ and ‘Warna Warni’ at the Tugu Tani end of Wahid Hasyim are the places to head and of course ‘Pappa’ café, if you can put up with certain folk!

Miss you, ‘Bistro’!

*Other scuttlebutt has recent Jakarta Governor and prospective Presidential candidate Sutiyoso being a major figure behind the development plans and that another branch of Carrefour is going to be built at the bottom end of the street. I would appreciate confirmation or otherwise of this, and whether he is as fond of karaoke as SBY.
