FOUNDED BY the Alsace-born chef Gilles Marx, Amuz Gourmet Restaurant offers superbly conceived, artisanally crafted, and exquisitely presented cuisine in a sophisticated space featuring French and Indonesian accents, along with one of the city’s best-curated selections of wine.
Chef Gilles, who honed his craft at Michelin-starred venues such as La Poele d’Or, Le Paris Restaurant, Chef Pierre Orsi, and Taillevant before arriving in Jakarta, pioneered French cuisine in Indonesia and creatively improvised on quintessential Gallic flavors and recipes. Amuz, which frequently hosts collaboration dinners with visiting Michelin-starred chefs, a dynamic, open kitchen, offers an excellent seasonal menu–a distinct challenge, given that the superiority of the restaurant’s offerings stems from Chef Gilles’ high standards for quality ingredients, whether imported or found in Indonesia.
