AIRLANGGA - BEST RESTAURANT REVIEW

THE RITZ-CARLTON HOTEL JAKARTA, JL. LINGKAR MEGA KUNINGAN KAV E1.1 NO. 1, MEGA KUNINGAN, JAKARTA
PHONE : +62-21-2551-8888

SETTING : A grand restaurant with teak ceilings, well-spaced tables appointed with classy chairs. Food islands displaying endless offerings of Middle Eastern, Japanese, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cuisines.

FOOD : The buffets are filled with traditional Asian and Western favorites. For only Rp. 158.000,- or around US$ 17.5 per pack, diners can enjoy the daily Jazz Brunch which includes unlimited juices, soft drinks, ice tea, and smoothies' selection. The Sparkling Brunch at Rp. 188.000,- or around US$ 20 per pack, lets diners indulge in free flow wine and draught beer. In case having a buffet is not on your agenda, there is an a la carte menu as well. Highlights from the appetizers include spring rolls with plum sauce, mix satay, and tomato bufallo cheese salad. Entrees are very international; pasta, sandwiches; burgers; and steaks. Try the grilled lamb chop or the grilled beef tenderloin, both are well prepared and presented. The poached salmon is also a recommended house special. Local palates can enjoy a bowl of Sup Buntut (braised or fried oxtail in delicious soup) or the soto ayam (shredded chicken in turmeric soup with glass noodles). Continue the pleasure with homemade flavored ice cream, mouth-watering cakes and puddings, fresh fruits, and exotic coffee drinks.

WINE : Great selection of wine, or you can order your favorite vintage labels from the hotel's Prime Steakhouse or Portovenere Italian Restaurant.

SERVICE : Service is up to industry standard but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

PRICE : An elegant evening for two will cost more or less Rp. 400.000,- or around US$ 44 - excluding wine.
