August Jakarta

August sits on the ground floor of the Sequis Tower on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman. The restaurant holds a place as no. 45 on the 2024 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list. The room runs smart, leaning into an elegant register that prioritizes clean lines and quiet spaces.

While the surrounding area is defined by the high-velocity bustle of major shopping hubs like Plaza Indonesia—a twenty-minute walk away—August feels designed to ignore them. It offers a contemporary Asian menu that trades the chaotic, rapid-fire energy common to dining in this part of Jakarta for a measured, deliberate pace. This is the venue for those who find the nearby shopping malls exhausting, as it creates an island of stillness inside a district otherwise obsessed with movement.
