Set on the 3rd floor of Fairmont Jakarta, the 1945 Restaurant is a testament to the hotel’s commitment to celebrating Indonesia’s cultural identity while presenting it to both local and international audiences with sophistication and pride. It presents a refined expression of contemporary Indonesian cuisine within a luxury hotel setting, redefining how Nusantara flavors are experienced in the capital.

Designed to suit every occasion, the restaurant provides an effortless setting for family-style dining, intimate moments for couples, lively gatherings for young social circles, casual business meetings, and refined event hosting, delivering Indonesian cuisine in its most polished yet approachable form. At the heart of the dining experience is a thoughtfully curated selection of signature dishes that exemplify innovation and refined culinary expression. The Wagyu Beef Rendang stands as a testament to precision and patience, featuring 72-hour sous-vide wagyu, delicately enriched with coconut serundeng, velvety coconut cream, and finished with a crisp touch of chili, delivering a harmonious balance of depth, texture, and refined indulgence.

Equally distinctive is the Tuna Collar Rica-Rica, inspired by the vibrant flavors of Eastern Indonesia. This dish highlights perfectly cooked tuna collar, complemented by the freshness of dabu-dabu and the bold intensity of rica-rica spices, creating a dynamic interplay of heat, citrus, and aromatic complexity. Completing the signature selection is the Crown Grilled Duck with Balinese Sauce & Sambal Matah, Chicken Woku, Mangut Grilled Squid with Mangut Sauce & Mixed Green Herbs, and Grilled Octopus with Andaliman Peanut Sauce & Pineapple Salsa. To end the meal with a delicious dessert platter to satisfy your sweet tooth, with a variety of bite-sized and mini treats, including Adora Sumsum, Es Podeng, Ketimus, Bika Ambon, and Nastar.

Through this elevated approach, 1945 at Fairmont Jakarta positions itself as a definitive destination for contemporary Indonesian dining where heritage is not only preserved but also reimagined with elegance, precision, and a distinct sense of place. Guiding the culinary direction of 1945 is Yopi Tumeru, Chef de Cuisine, whose journey reflects both deep-rooted experience and a contemporary culinary perspective. With nearly a decade of professional experience across luxury hospitality and dynamic F&B groups, Chef Yopi brings a distinctive balance between heritage-driven cooking and modern execution.

Chef Yopi infuses 1945 with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. His approach honors Indonesia’s culinary heritage while introducing thoughtful refinements that resonate with today’s diners, resulting in dishes that feel both familiar and elevated.

“1945 reflects our philosophy of celebrating Indonesian heritage in a way that feels both authentic and refined,” said Carlos Monterde, General Manager. “As the only Indonesian restaurant within a luxury hotel setting, it offers a dining experience that is both deeply rooted in tradition and thoughtfully elevated for today’s guests.”
