Confit Surabaya (Review)

Ola!
Two days ago, I was invited to come and try Confit, a new fancy restaurant in the center of Surabaya. I’m so excited as I’m writing this right now because this place was really really nice, the foods were yummy-licious, and the most important thing, super affordable!! Whoa, that sounds overrated. I know, right? But I’m telling you the truth, no joke, no lie..

CONFIt

(read : konfii) This place is owned by Chef Adrian Winoto and also his friend. Chef Adrian himself is the head chef in Confit and he was the third finalist of Top Chef Indonesia. Not only that, he already had a lot of achievements, especially in the cooking field, and he was also the head chef at Monopole Coffee Lab before. I guess he’s been around long enough to finally open his very own restaurant. The concept of Confit is a semi-fine dining restaurant that serves modern Australian cuisine, so everything on their menu will be obviously western foods. 

The moment I arrived here, my first thought was, “What a homey place!”. I was truly surprised when I entered the room, it was just way beyond my expectation, I love every single thing my eyes caught in this place! ♡ Luckily, I got an invitation for two, so I asked EQ to be my ‘date’ for the day. He was the one who documented my Halloween Party at U Cafe, and today, he also took a lot of pictures to be contributed to this blog post. So let’s start traveling inside!

Confit’s building is divided into three floor:
The first one is where you can find the Bar, the Kitchen, and the smoking area.

The first floor could fit around forty to fifty people, and the lighting in here, especially in daylight, was really beautiful! You can use the shadow to enhance your food pictures, lol. And the first floor is the only indoor area where people could smoke, a.k.a this is the smoking area. *but for now, it is not ready to be used yet, they only use the second and the third floor only*

Finish with the first floor? Let’s move on to the next one.. 🙂

They have a stair on the left side with some fancy decorations around it, we could also see some of the achievements that chef Adrian Winoto has on the wall, next to the stairs.. 

second floor (main dining hall)

The second floor could fit up to fifty people as well. Their design interior was really nice and harmonized. I really love the picture collages on the wall in black and white, it all reminded me of Surabaya back in the good old days.

third floor (VIP ROOMS)

The Main Event

After all of the invitations were gathered, we were introduced to Chef Adrian Winoto and he was the one who explained to us all about Confit. He also told us about the foods that were going to be served, and I could see how he was really trying to give his customer the best that he could, and I really appreciated that kind of spirit, way to go chef!

Overall taste, I was really satisfied! Nothing was bad. We were kind of already set our expectations since we have seen such a nice place like this before. I would DEFINITELY come back here.

And if you guys are interested to come and try Confit (I bet you all do), I highly suggest you make a reservation first.
