A 50-seat fine dining room in Jakarta's Sequis Tower where a large open kitchen takes up most of the real estate, so dinner comes with a full view of the team at work. The chef's counter looks directly into the pastry section, overseen by Asia's Best Pastry Chef 2026. The menu draws on Indonesian flavors reworked through French technique, childhood memory and all. August holds a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.

A rooftop food forest, a fermentation lab, and an underground mushroom chamber set the tone before you've eaten a bite. This plant-forward, multi-course fine dining restaurant in Ubud pulls almost entirely from Indonesia's own biodiversity, with hyper-local and foraged ingredients running through a menu that can stretch to twenty courses. Concrete and modular outside, rice-field views through oversized windows within. It holds a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.

A tasting menu restaurant in Jakarta's business district, Esa is where chef Aditya Muskita runs a 14-course evening menu he calls "New Jakarta cuisine," threading Indonesian culinary traditions through a fine dining lens. Lunch is a la carte if a full tasting menu commitment feels ambitious. Kluwak-nut sauce, charred squid curry, and salmon roe tartlets make the argument more eloquently than the label does. It landed on The 50 Discovery list.

The name means "archipelago" in Javanese, and the kitchen takes that literally, pulling regional dishes from across Indonesia's 17,000 islands that rarely make it onto menus outside their home provinces. It's a stylish sit-down restaurant in Ubud, all light woods and rattan, where a brigade of Indonesian-born chefs works through traditional flavor combinations most visitors have never encountered. A spin-off of Locavore NXT, from the same team next door.

Rank 7. Casa Cuomo
Neapolitan Italian
High ceilings, enormous chandeliers, and a black-and-white marble floor set the scene at this Neapolitan Italian restaurant in South Jakarta. Chef Salvatore Cuomo built his name bringing Neapolitan cooking across Asia, and Casa Cuomo sits at number 20 on the 50 Top Italy global list. The bar is a destination on its own, and the wine list is priced without the usual Jakarta markup. Dress smart; the room invites it.
