Plataran Menteng

This excellent restaurant in a grand, old, light-and-airy mansion has plenty of ambience. There's a live pianist, birdcages and reminders of a bygone era but it's not stuffy or pretentious. Asian fusion with Indonesian flavours is done well. Try the nasi goreng four ways, pad Thai, shrimp vermicelli, grilled chicken skewers, or roasted duck, mangosteen and curry sauce.
