Why it matters
Why ViaVia Resto & Bakery is worth your time
When one family member eats meat and another does not, a menu of this kind saves a long argument. The mix of Indonesian and international dishes means each person can order what they like and still share a table.
Its value for Indian visitors is predictability. You can eat tempeh, tofu and vegetables without searching for a vegetarian counter, which is helpful on days when you want a calm meal after sightseeing.

How to experience it
What's New Indonesia says almost half of the ViaVia menu is vegetarian, with a good number of vegan options, and describes organic cooking without MSG or palm oil. Dishes named include vegetable burgers, falafel pita, mixed salads and stir-fried tempeh and tofu.
The stir-fried tempeh and tofu is the most local order, and goes well with rice. Falafel and salads are easier choices for children or anyone unsettled by spice. Look at the menu markings and ask staff to confirm which dishes are vegan.
Prawirotaman is a pleasant street for an evening stroll after dinner, with cafes and craft shops, and works well as a base for meals if your hotel is nearby. Check hours, because cafe schedules change with the season.
