Marking its first anniversary at Gran Meliá Jakarta, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta steps confidently into “A New Chapter”, the one that blends Basque fire‑cooking traditions with a more approachable, cosmopolitan rhythm.
Helmed by renowned Spanish chef Íñigo Urrechu, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta is the first Asian outpost of his acclaimed restaurant group. Following successes in Barcelona and Marbella, the Jakarta chapter has quickly established itself as a distinguished destination for authentic Spanish gastronomy, where fire‑driven techniques meet elevated hospitality and a convivial atmosphere.
The new menu celebrates the essence of Basque and Spanish cuisine while opening doors to broader dining occasions. Expect dishes that balance craftsmanship with accessibility such as Flame‑grilled Basque pintxo with warm tomato pilpil sauce, Buttered Brioche filled with sweet crab stew and citrus‑kimchi mayonnaise, traditional Catalonian seafood soup, grilled barramundi fillet with creamy gnocchi and signature Wagyu MB5 Chuletón Español with smoked seasonal vegetables. And for the finale? The restaurant’s signature Basque‑style cheesecake — a sweet reminder of ERRE’s dedication to authenticity and contemporary flair.
The anniversary also ushers in new talent. Alfiansyah, Indonesia’s Best Sommelier 2021, joins as Sommelier, curating immersive wine pairings that turn every meal into a story. Meanwhile, Aditya Prasapta steps in as Restaurant Manager, bringing two decades of luxury hospitality expertise to refine service and guest experiences.
To commemorate the milestone, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta hosted intimate culinary experiences: “Behind the Fire of ERRE”, a luncheon with Chef Íñigo Urrechu, and “A Toast to ERRE’s New Chapter”, an anniversary dinner pairing Basque‑inspired creations with exceptional wines. Both events reflect the restaurant’s commitment to connection, storytelling, and the joy of gathering around food.
More than a restaurant, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta embodies a lifestyle — one where Spanish roots meet Jakarta’s cosmopolitan spirit. With its refreshed direction, the restaurant continues to position itself as one of the city’s leading culinary destinations, inviting guests to savor not just a meal, but an experience.
