Restaurant in Bandung, Indonesia
Highland Fire Cookery

Bonfire Roast & Grill on Jl. LLRE Martadinata is a straightforward grill-format option in Bandung Wetan, suited to casual group dinners and informal celebrations. Booking is easy and walk-ins are generally feasible. For Japanese-format grills, Hachi Grill is the stronger alternative; for all-you-can-eat volume, Kakkoii wins. Bonfire makes sense when you want live-fire cooking without the fanfare.
If you are weighing up Bandung's grill and roast options, Bonfire Roast & Grill on Jl. LLRE Martadinata sits in a different register from the Japanese-format grills that dominate the city's current dining conversation. Where Hachi Grill Sutami Bandung gives you teppanyaki theatre and Kakkoii All You Can Eat Japanese BBQ & Shabu-Shabu offers the volume play, Bonfire pitches itself as a more focused roast and grill destination. Whether that positioning holds up depends on what you are actually after.
Bonfire occupies an address in Cihapit, Bandung Wetan, one of the city's more established dining corridors along Martadinata. The name signals an intent: live-fire cooking, roasted cuts, and the kind of atmosphere that comes with an open-flame format. The energy in a grill-forward room like this tends to run warm and informal, with ambient smoke and the low hum of a working kitchen adding to the mood rather than detracting from it. For a special occasion that does not require formal ceremony, that atmosphere can work in your favour. For a quiet business dinner, it is worth calibrating expectations.
Counter or bar seating at a grill venue like Bonfire is where the format pays off most directly. Sitting close to the cooking action gives you a read on the kitchen's pace and lets you interact with the flow of the meal rather than waiting for it to arrive. If Bonfire offers counter positions, they are worth requesting over a standard table — the proximity to the fire is part of what you are paying for.
Booking difficulty at Bonfire is rated easy. Walk-ins are a reasonable option, but if you are planning around a specific occasion, a reservation call ahead removes any uncertainty. The venue is located at LLRE Martadinata No.137, Cihapit, Bandung Wetan, which is accessible by ride-hail from central Bandung. No website or phone number is currently listed in our records, so direct outreach via Google Maps or social channels is the most reliable way to confirm current hours before you go.
A grill-format dinner at Bonfire works for celebrations that want energy over formality: birthdays, casual anniversaries, groups of friends rather than business meals. If you need polished service and a quieter room, Purnawarman Restaurant or Kunyit Restaurant are stronger fits.

Against Bandung's grill alternatives, Bonfire occupies a mid-tier general grill position. Hachi Grill Sutami Bandung offers more theatrical presentation if Japanese-format cooking matters to you. Kakkoii wins on volume and value for groups who want to eat expansively at a fixed price. Musouya is the call if Japanese precision is the priority. For something more rooted in Indonesian flavour profiles, Kunyit Restaurant is worth considering alongside Bonfire.
Beyond Bandung, Indonesia's strongest grill and fire-cooking credentials sit at venues like August in Jakarta and Locavore NXT in Ubud. Bonfire is not in that tier, but it is not trying to be. It is a neighbourhood grill venue on one of Bandung's main dining streets, and on those terms it is a practical, low-barrier option.
