Where To Go for Boozy Brunch in Jakarta

Loewy

Located in the heart of Mega Kuningan, Loewy is the spot to spend a classy yet accessible brunch with your friends and colleagues. The bistro is inspired by the 1940s, serving classic brasserie dishes and high-quality drinks. Available only from 08.00 – 11.00 AM, you can find classic breakfast menus with Loewy’s signature touch, like the Truffled Mushroom Croque Monseuir or a plate of Sausage and Egg, all made in-house. On the weekend, the special menu will let you cut through runny Eggs Benedict and sip a refreshing glass of cocktails like The ‘What-a-Melon!’ while enjoying the freshness of the morning breeze.

Address: Oakwood Premier Cozmo, Jl. Lingkar Mega Kuningan E42 No.1, RT.5/RW.2, Kuningan, South Jakarta

Social House Jakarta

Although Social House Jakarta is set to serve you breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even late-night drinks, experience a new shade of the restaurant by going for a brunch here! In their “Weekend Brunch Menu,” you can find rich brunch options like the ‘Blowout Egg Benedicts,’ a chargrilled sourdough bread served with applewood smoked ham, truffle spread, and poached eggs slathered in the creamy hollandaise sauce. With the sun out and a glass of fruity Mimosa or Bellini in hand, let yourself lose in the conversation and breathtaking view of Jakarta’s Bundaran Hotel Indonesia with bites and sips in between.

TOMA Brasserie

Sitting at the front of the al-fresco-style compound Chillax Sudirman, indulge in a fresh boozy morning in TOMA Brasserie. Here, you can sparkle up your brunch with the unique cocktail, ‘Lord of The Blink’ (with Bombay sapphire gin and glittered Campari), or spend it with class with one of the classics, Blackberry Negroni. Pair the drinks with TOMA Brasserie’s delicious Asian-progressive flavors in their Weekend Brunch menu, where you can taste various flavors from all over the continents. For instance, you can get the Japanese influence in the light Tuna Tataki Salad or order the local pride, Manado-style Tinutuan Congee with Sambal Cakalang for a warm mid-morning meal.

Manzo

Tucked in the corner of Street Gallery, the modern steakhouse Manzo‘s cozy ambiance is uniquely adorned with contemporary art pieces, making it a charming sight for your brunch session with friends and family. Beyond steaks, they also offer fresh and light dishes perfect for brunch. Whether you opt for the uncomplicated Cheese Toastie with marinara or go a little froufrou with Foie Gras Financiers, grace the table with a little more kick and colors with Manzo’s selections of wine & cocktails. Our pick, the ‘Má Là G&T’ is a twist on gin and tonic with Elderflower and Sichuan pepper, or the ‘Sour Tea Martini,’ made with Dry Gin, Earl Grey, Lemon, and Angostura.

Following the success of its first location in Cilandak Townsquare, Early March has expanded to its second location Gandaria City. Now with a larger area and more focused bar section, you can spend your weekend morning on their open patio with a glass of specially crafted cocktails. The favorite? The mixologists would say Whiskey Sour, but the ‘Early March Negroni, ‘ a fruitier take on the classic, is also definitely one not to miss. To go with the drinks, feast on their Deli menu options, such as Hot Pastrami, where the meat is cured in-house just like the other KAGI meat creation, Sons & Patty, and Ask for Patty.
