This is the best medium-cooked tenderloin steak I've ever had in Indonesia. You should definitely try it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Traders Restaurant, and I must say—it truly deserves praise. The quality of their premium steak offerings is simply outstanding, masterfully cooked and rich in flavor. The setting felt both luxurious and intimate, perfect for a special occasion. I was particularly impressed by their wine and beverage program—thoughtfully curated pairings and a wine-by-the-bottle option that felt elevated yet welcoming. The overall experience—from the delicious food to the refined ambiance and attentive service—was exceptional. If you’re looking for fine dining with a refined wine experience in Medan, The Traders is an absolute standout.

This restaurant is highly regarded for its elegant dining experience, offering an exquisite atmosphere and top-notch service that sets it apart in the local culinary scene. Guests can expect a carefully curated menu featuring gourmet dishes made from high-quality ingredients, complemented by an extensive selection of fine wines. The sophisticated decor and attention to detail create a memorable ambiance, making it a popular choice for special occasions and upscale dining outings.

Possibly the worst place I have eaten in in a long time. Staff had no idea what they were doing. Had no idea what the meals came with. Food really was not good . We ordered starters which was the best part of the meal. Gave us no time to eat that before the first meal arrived. A few minutes later the next meal and another few mins then the next meal. So had to eat the starter with the main course. Still eating the starter after finishing the meal. The music was so loud could not hear ourselves chat over our meal. Over all an expensive very disappointing evening out. 2 out of 10

Traders has been a favorite of mine for over a decade and food is still as wonderful as ever. Unfortunately, today’s service from our server DIKA was extremely disappointing. Dika insisted that a side dish we’ve ordered many times didn’t exist. Instead of checking, he kept arguing. When he finally went to the kitchen, he confirmed it was available but even then he made it unnecessarily difficult for us to order it. We had to push just to get a side dish. Dika then brought out a full round of drinks incorrectly because he didn’t clarify how they should be prepared or ask for basic preferences. He also failed to clearly communicate a change in the restaurant’s water service before serving it. When asked about it, he said it had been that way “for a long time” and that if I had “visited recently,” I would have known. I was last here in February when the previous arrangement was still in place. Regardless of when the policy changed, that response was dismissive and inappropriate. It’s unfortunate that what should have been an enjoyable visit turned into an unpleasant dining experience.
