Batavia Batavia

Exceptional historical dining experience

“A historical restaurant that has been operating since 1993 for individuals to encounter a distinct culinary journey as they enter the restaurant’s vintage structure.”

Back in 1805, the Dutch initiated the construction of this building with the aim of establishing it as an accomodation for VOC’s high-ranked officers as well as their administration office. As time goes by, a French native named Paul Hassan eventually purchased the building and turned it into an art gallery. An Australian native named Graham James then approached Paul Hassan with a vision of creating a restaurant and after several management changes - the rest is history.
