Atelier 23
Park Hyatt Jakarta is officially expanding its luxury culinary offerings by introducing Atelier 23, the new name for the restaurant located on the hotel’s 23rd floor. Replacing the former “Conservatory,” this transformation brings not only a fresh, elegant visual identity and atmosphere but also a completely revamped culinary concept. Situated in the heart of the capital, the restaurant presents a new array of dishes that blend haute cuisine techniques with authentic flavours from across continents—marrying the excellence of French gastronomy with the rich, diverse flavours of Southeast Asia.

Batter Days Bakehouse
Not far from the Blok M area, Batter Days Bakehouse has arrived as a new bakehouse-style restaurant in South Jakarta. Situated in the heart of the prestigious Dharmawangsa district, the establishment serves a range of premium baked goods and culinary creations of the highest quality. Its atmosphere blends minimalist modern architecture with aesthetic wooden accents, making it a popular new hangout and Work From Cafe (WFC) spot among urbanites. The menu goes beyond artisan baked goods, offering a variety of delicious and hearty main courses—such as spicy crab roe pasta, soto tangkar with bone-in ribs in a spice-rich broth, tender crusted Wagyu, warm shakshouka, dry ramen with smoked duck, and juicy roasted chicken.

FOOGU
Located in the Gunawarman area of South Jakarta, FOOGU is a favourite among millennials and Gen Z, known as a bar with a thematic concept that changes daily—ensuring no two nights are ever the same. The lineup includes “SPLIT” on Wednesdays, featuring a bar takeover concept; Thursdays, with a tequila vibe and Latin hip-hop beats; “Missfits” on Fridays, which doubles as a ladies’ night offering a complimentary first cocktail; and the highly anticipated flagship night, “FOOGU Blush,” every Saturday. Very recently, FOOGU has introduced a new way to enjoy a more personal evening with FOOGU², which is a private room area designed for those wishing to celebrate special moments without losing FOOGU’s signature atmosphere. FOOGU² is designed to provide a more intimate atmosphere so that each guest can enjoy the evening according to their own style, whether celebrating birthdays, holding gatherings with friends, or enjoying quality time with colleagues after office hours.

De Tiger
Nestled within the House of Tugu in Jakarta’s Old Town, De Tiger has officially opened as a Far East-inspired speakeasy bar that seamlessly blends the history of Batavia, art, and culture with a unique cocktail experience. Rather than simply adopting the “hidden bar” concept, De Tiger transports guests back to the era when Batavia was one of the world’s busiest ports. Its interior is adorned with antique collections and elements inspired by the historic convergence of Eastern and Western cultures. The dimly lit ambience, set against a backdrop of colonial architecture, results in an intimate atmosphere rich with storytelling. De Tiger’s cocktail menu is also crafted to evoke a historical journey; selections such as Gujarat, Hadrami, Nagasaki, and Siam reflect the spice trade routes and the cultural exchange that once flourished at the port of Sunda Kelapa.
