Jakarta’s dining scene has always thrived on reinvention, but few relaunches feel as bold and celebratory as Caspar Jakarta’s return under the theme Sabores de España. The Orient Jakarta – A Royal Hideaway Hotel‘s resident Spanish restaurant experiences more than a reopening, it’s a cultural statement: a promise to bring the soul of Spain — its flavors, rhythms, and late-night spirit — into the capital’s cosmopolitan heartbeat.
At the center of this revival is Chef Javier Salido, whose culinary journey reads like a map of Spain’s most acclaimed kitchens. From Barrafina in London to Streetxo by David Muñoz in Madrid, Salido has honed a style that balances tradition with daring creativity. His arrival in Jakarta signals more than just a menu change. It’s an invitation to experience Spain through its most iconic dishes such as Tapas that tell stories of regional diversity, each bite a postcard from Andalusia, Catalonia, or the Basque Country, Paella, the dish that defines Spanish conviviality, prepared with meticulous care to capture its layered, saffron-rich essence and handcrafted Cocktails, bridging Mediterranean warmth and Jakarta’s urban sophistication.
Caspar’s relaunch isn’t just about food — it’s about atmosphere. The evening unfolds like a performance beginning with the gentle strum of Spanish acoustic guitar which is further elevated with a live band performance and will be taken over by DJ by midnight, transforming the venue into a vibrant playground for Jakarta’s night owls. This seamless transition from table to dance floor reflects the city’s appetite for experiences that blur boundaries — where gastronomy and nightlife coexist in one intoxicating rhythm.
Nestled within The Orient Jakarta – A Royal Hideaway Hotel, Caspar positions itself as more than a restaurant. It’s a cultural hub, a place where diplomats, gourmands, and curious urbanites converge to savor Spain’s culinary heritage against the backdrop of Jakarta’s skyline. The relaunch under Sabores de España is both a nod to tradition and a bold step forward. It reasserts Caspar as the capital’s definitive Spanish destination — a venue where authenticity meets artistry, and where every evening feels like a celebration.
