August, the talk of the town’s popular dining venue, launches a new menu with a unique dining experience. Located at the Sequis Tower building in the SCBD, Jakarta. The brainchild of Chef Hans Christian together with Budi Cahyadi, a seasoned hotelier and F&B professional, August debuted in November 2021. Budi and Hans have created a brand new dining space that is elegant but not intimidating to patrons. The restaurant offers a unique culinary experience with a DNA firmly connected to modern technique with a touch of Indonesian flavor.
August’s interior design is a creation of Bitte Design, a rising, Jakarta-based design studio, which is behind the designs of some of the most famous restaurants and bars in the capital. The intimate 50-seater restaurant evokes a relaxed and homey feel with warm lighting, earthy colors, unpretentious table settings, and an open layout completed with bookshelves filled with the team’s personal collection. The open kitchen concept sits next to the dining area, which allows the guests to view the food preparation process, erasing the boundaries between kitchen and dining area, to create an immersive dining experience.
August’s new Chef’s Journey Tasting Menu comprises 14 courses, including 7 snacks. This menu invites patrons to immerse themselves in the stories behind the dishes. At August, Chef Hans tries to source the best local produce, championing local, sustainable and fresh ingredients at all times. Seasonal line-caught fish is from Empak Locale which sources from the waters around Bali and Lombok. Their specialty vegetables are from Lembang Farms, they use fresh vanilla pods from Experience Vanilla in Sukabumi and their chocolate is from Pipiltin, which sources single origin chocolate from around the archipelago.
EVOO Bread using ‘Adam Levain’, Breakfast from Mom – rice with lap cheong sausage omelette, Duck ‘Opor’ Croquette with Cola Jam, James & Jen’s Fresh Egg Aside from its well-crafted dishes, August also offers a unique Beverage Program that would delight patrons. The bar serves a wide selection of classic and Indonesian-inspired cocktails, but the highlight of the bar are its craft mocktails. Dubbed as ‘juice’, the bartender goes the extra mile to create a collection of unique mocktails where he uses kombuchas from exotic tropical fruits or out-of-the-box ingredients, to create fascinating mocktails to go with your meal.
