ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta
Officially opened to the public on the 13th of June, 2025, the Spanish restaurant ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta is strategically housed within Gran Meliá Jakarta, yet operates as an independent culinary destination. With its vibrant, refined ambience, it is poised to become one of the most talked-about restaurant openings of the year. Helmed by celebrated Basque chef Iñigo Urrechu, who owns acclaimed ERRE & Urrechu restaurants in Madrid, Barcelona, and Marbella, this Jakarta outpost marks his debut in Southeast Asia. The restaurant embodies his culinary philosophy — a dedication to quality ingredients, the art of grilling over live fire, and forging a profound connection between food and emotion.

Carne Ristorante
Carne Ristorante is the newest Mediterranean-Italian restaurant, which was opened in Menteng, Central Jakarta, back in May. The name “carne“, meaning “meat”, indeed describes its main dish served at Carne Ristorante: steak with quality meat. Dry-aged meat is the main dish, inspired by the charm of the cities of Venice, Florence, and Rome. Beef lovers, moreover, may consider some options encompassing, to name a few, bistecca alla fiorentina, dry-aged ribeye, wagyu MB8-9, fillet mignon, and dry-aged T-bone. Other options, furthermore, include dry-aged tuna, lobster selection, pasta and risotto, lamb chop, dry-aged duck sorrento, gelato, and tiramisu desserts.

Saap Thai
This Thai boat noodle restaurant, located in ASHTA District 8, immediately impresses with its simple yet mouth-watering menu — particularly, the restaurant’s boat noodle, which is a noodle dish that is commonly sold at boat stalls on the rivers of Thailand. The fillings are Australian sirloin, wagyu, chicken, with a light savoury sauce, but with a distinctive kick of coriander leaves. In addition to noodle soup, Saap Thai also serves various dishes such as dry noodles, fried meatballs, chicken skin, and sankaya toastie. Diners may also complete their meal with Thai Iced Tea: fragrant and subtly sweet tea, which comes in both classic and matcha variations.
- Address: ASHTA District 8 Upper Ground, Lot 28, Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), Jl. Jend. Sudirman Kav. 52-53, RT.8/RW.3, South Jakarta

Salted Olive
With Mediterranean flavours as its focus and main appeal, Salted Olive serves notable Middle Eastern specialities such as lamb arayes, bulgur salad, and kunafa. The crowd favourite, the restaurant’s Roasted Eggplant, is served with spiced honey and strained yoghurt. A dish considered the restaurant’s ‘sleeper hit’ is the watermelon salad, consisting of pomelo, mandarin, watermelon, and mint labneh. The restaurant’s minimalist-modern design, on top of that, makes this place suitable for casual lunches and dinners with family. Ultimately, Salted Olive prides itself on its house-made ingredients, lamb chops (which are marinated for 48 hours before cooking), roast chicken (which goes through a three-day cooking process), and beef fingers (which are soaked for 12 hours before grilling). Here at Salted Olive, every single component is prepared with love.
