What is it? Jakarta’s sole entry in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024, serving modern dishes with a local twist.
Why we love it August may not call itself an Indonesian restaurant, but its creative use of local ingredients like torch ginger and Cosmos caudatus leaves tells a different story. We are blown away by their wagyu tenderloin with Pangium-infused espagnole sauce as it melted in our mouths, and octopus laksa, which delivered a zingy Andaliman pepper kick. Knowing that their ingredients are sourced from local farmers and fishermen makes the meal even more satisfying.
