Crio Jakarta has introduced a fresh menu that brings together familiar flavors and creative ideas. Known for its handmade chocolates, cozy Asian and Western dishes, and thoughtful cocktails, this restaurant continues to build its reputation as a place where food is both comforting and imaginative.
Founded by chocolatier Richie Pratadaja, Crio already has become a space where food is a way to connect and explore. The atmosphere is relaxed but refined, with dishes that reflect both international techniques and Indonesian roots. With a theme of “Everyday Elevated” the restaurant transforms casual dining into an experience that feels familiar. Every plate is carefully prepared, with attention to taste, texture, and presentation.
The new menu is designed to guide you through a complete dining experience, from starters to desserts. Chef William Cecario brings his personal background into the kitchen, drawing ideas from his mother’s cooking and the street food he grew up enjoying. His savory dishes include Squid Gochujang, Spicy Mango Octopus, Ayam Bakar Resep Ibu, Bebek Asap Kari, Seafood Gulai, and the aromatic Prawn Andaliman, which celebrates the signature spice of his North Sumatran hometown. He uses sous-vide cooking to keep flavors consistent and true to their origin. Other highlights include Slow Cooked Chuck Roll, Sate Babi Crio, Scallops, and a version of Ikan Arsik—a traditional fish dish with bold spices. Each item reflects Indonesia’s rich food culture, presented in a way that feels fresh and modern.
To end the meal, Chef Richie offers desserts that are both playful and precise —Pisang, Le Flair, and Dollop. His creations use different types of chocolate to highlight specific flavors, and each dessert is built with layers that balance sweet, bitter, and tangy notes. The presentation is clean and artistic, with textures and garnishes that make each dish stand out.
Together, Chef William’s savory plates and Chef Richie’s desserts create a smooth flow from start to finish. The contrast between bold and delicate flavors makes the meal feel complete and satisfying. Crio’s new menu invites you to slow down and enjoy each course. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or spending time with friends, the experience is designed to be relaxed, thoughtful, and full of flavor.
