Jakarta


By day this is a stylish art deco dining lounge high atop the trendy Plaza Indonesia mall. At night, the adjacent club serves crafted cocktails and imported wines and hosts top DJs (who mix R&B, hip hop and bubblegum rock). It attracts a glamorous local and expat crowd. Happy hour runs 4pm to 10pm with 25% off selected drinks.

The dining room serves dishes like slow-cooked lamb, pork chop with parsnip purée, and pizza. Small bites such as chicken wings, fries and calamari are available from the bar when the main dining area is closed.
