Without any plan, me and my family went out of the house, just looking for a place to have some meals and to hangout and work for a while. My daughter was a bit restless, she needed a place to release her energy. And I wonder how I can provide a place where we can get what we want. I recall a cafe which is said to have a huge playground and a cozy atmosphere. Harlequin.

So we go straight to Kemang area to find the place. Not really sure at first, because from the front, the place seems like a nice little cafe. Does it really has a huge playground as I heard before? To my amazement, when I stepped into the Restaurant, it was a huge dining place, which can accommodate more than 100 person. The decoration also interesting, with neo-classical style, full of chandelier, several couches and flowers at the table for a romantic nuance, with a color tone of black and white with a touch of red, burgundy and gold. A nice setting of Parisian style dining. Just behind the dining area, there is another area which consist of Playground (my daughter was delighted for this), private room for 30 people, and a balcony, which can also used as function area. Looking at the space, it is a good spot for a family dinner (or lunch), gathering with friends, or just for nice afternoon tea. We went here for a bit of work, and seems like it's OK too.

Aside from the Parisian style of decoration, the food was a mix of Asian, Western and European. The choice of food was not too much, but sufficient to indulge your senses. As well as the choice of desert and beverages. For now we tried Spaghetti Bolognaise and Lemon Dory Fish. Also Filled Beignet for desert. The food have the right taste, the Bolognaise sauce and Lemon sauce for the Dory were great. Also for the Beignet. It is a nice desert to go with your coffee or tea.

The Playground also great, they have slides, trampoline, wall climbing and a boat house. It can accommodate up to 20 kids.

It is a recommended place if you want to gather with family and friends and bring your children along.
