Boncafe is a classic steak establishment in Surabaya with many outlets. The prices are quite steep, so prepare to dish out at least 70k per person.
The fried chicken skins have always been my favorite. Sometimes the chef derps and it turns out chewy instead of crispy, but this rarely happens. Easily the best appetizer on the menu.
As you wait for the steak, the server will bring you a dinner roll and some butter. The delicate roll comes from its bakery chain, Bon Ami. The steaks come with vegetable and potatoes. The meat here is very tender despite being cooked well-done. (Note: You want your steaks cooked well-done due to the low food hygiene standards in Indonesia. However, I trust Boncafe enough that I'm happy when my steak turns out medium-well.) The picture above is the Tornedo, which has ham wrapped around the steak. The one below is the black pepper steak. Always ask for extra gravy, free of charge. Cover the entire hotplate with gravy; it makes everything taste better.
The desert line is just fine, but it's hard to justify the 25k price tag on the desserts. I'd say skip dessert. Any fancy dessert or drink will cost an arm and a leg at 30k apiece.
Overall Boncafe consistently serves great steak and dining experience.
