Where to Eat in Jakarta

Poke Sushi Restaurant at Crowne Plaza

Jakarta’s eateries are as diverse as the many cultures and nationalities living in the sprawling metropolis. As you would expect from any major Asian city, the food and dining options go right across the board, from roadside street vendors to up-scale fine dining restaurants, the beauty being that you can try them all and not necessarily have to break the bank.

Western Jakarta is home to Chinatown which should be the first port of call for those who like Chinese food.  Kemang in South Jakarta has the highest density of fine-dining restaurants, lively nightclubs and entertainment areas.

Jalan Jaksa is the place to head for tasty Indonesian food prepared in the original way. Other food types in this area include, Korean, Thai, Indian, Mexican and American. Jakarta’s mega malls feature food courts where delicacies from around the globe can be tried and tested.

Black Cat Jazz and Supper Club

Ok, to set the scene this venue features some of Indonesia's top jazz artists, to enjoy while dining on Cajun/Creole cuisine. This style of food originated in New Orleans and is a reflection of the melting pot of ethnicities of that city. A concoction of French, Spanish and African influences, expect to find sea food, steaks and Jambalaya, on the menu. Dishes are named after jazz heroes; the Dizzy Gillespie comes highly recommended.

Spread across 300 metres, expect to mingle with an upper-class crowd consisting of media types, Indonesia’s jet setters and of course, jazz cats.
