ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta is marking its first anniversary with a refreshed culinary direction that introduces new menu creations, an expanded wine experience, and a strengthened leadership team. Located at Gran Meliá Jakarta, the Spanish restaurant enters what it calls “A New Chapter,” while continuing to showcase the Basque fire-cooking philosophy established by renowned Spanish chef Íñigo Urrechu.
As the first ERRE & Urrechu restaurant in Asia, the Jakarta outpost builds on the success of the brand’s restaurants in Barcelona and Marbella, bringing contemporary Spanish and Basque cuisine to Indonesia through wood-fire cooking, premium ingredients, and a convivial dining style.
The updated menu retains the restaurant’s focus on fire-driven cooking while introducing dishes designed for a wider range of dining occasions. New highlights include Flame-Grilled Basque Pintxo served with warm tomato pilpil sauce, Buttered Brioche filled with sweet crab stew and citrus-kimchi mayonnaise, Traditional Catalonian Seafood and Fish Soup, Grilled Barramundi Fillet with creamy gnocchi, and ERRE’s signature Wagyu MB5 Chuletón Español accompanied by smoked and roasted seasonal vegetables. The meal concludes with the restaurant’s signature Basque-style cheesecake.
The anniversary also marks the arrival of Alfiansyah as the restaurant’s sommelier. Named Indonesia’s Best Sommelier 2021, he will oversee the wine program, curating pairings that complement the restaurant’s Basque-inspired cuisine. Joining the leadership team is Aditya Prasapta, who has been appointed Restaurant Manager after more than two decades in luxury hospitality and restaurant operations.
“After one year in Jakarta, we wanted this new chapter to reflect not only the authenticity of our Basque culinary roots, but also the evolving way people dine and connect through food,” said Chef Íñigo Urrechu. “We are introducing new flavours, new experiences, and a more approachable way for guests to enjoy the spirit of ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta while maintaining the craftsmanship and philosophy that define our cuisine.”
To commemorate the milestone, the restaurant will host a series of anniversary events, including Behind the Fire of ERRE, an intimate luncheon with Chef Íñigo Urrechu for invited media and culinary tastemakers, followed by A Toast to ERRE’s New Chapter, a special dinner featuring a Basque-inspired menu paired with selected wines.
Through these additions, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta continues to expand its dining experience while remaining rooted in the traditions of Spanish and Basque gastronomy.
