Perched high above the city skyline in Mega Kuningan, a new flame has been lit in the heart of Jakarta’s dining scene. Swissôtel Living Jakarta Mega Kuningan today proudly unveils Embers Open-Fire Grill, its signature restaurant, welcoming guests to a bold, immersive culinary experience where global grilling traditions meet contemporary elegance.
More than just a restaurant, Embers is a story told through fire, a celebration of connection, craftsmanship, and culinary discovery. The name reflects both the visual allure and emotional warmth of glowing coals, symbolizing the timeless power of fire to bring people together.
At its heart, Embers brings a distinctly Japanese sensibility and Indonesian soul to the open-flame. The result is a refined yet approachable dining concept that stands apart from any other.
From the moment guests arrive, Embers invites them into a warm and visually captivating space. At the center: a glowing open kitchen, where flames dance, ingredients sizzle, and chefs create culinary magic in real time. Every detail, from the aroma of charred citrus to the sound of a perfectly seared steak, adds to the sensory storytelling.
The menu celebrates nature’s bounty, from the field, the farm, and the sea, bringing bold, familiar flavors to life with fire as the transformative force.
At Embers, the menu is all about bold flavors and honest ingredients, cooked over an open flame. Start with the Beef Yakitori Skewers, a refined take on Japanese street food using juicy Australian Black Angus beef grilled to perfection. The Tuna Tartare brings freshness with sashimi-style tuna, zesty charred citrus, and crispy seaweed, served in a fun, build-your-own style.
For something warm and comforting, the Smoked Pumpkin Soup adds a twist with vanilla and Japanese chili, served with a cloud of live smoke for that signature Embers touch. From the grill, premium meats take the spotlight. Choose the Tajima Wagyu Ribeye or Tomahawk Steak, both richly marbled and perfectly charred. Or go for the Smoked Wagyu Brisket, slow-cooked until tender and full of smoky flavor.
Seafood lovers can enjoy the Grilled Barramundi with a refreshing shiso lime dressing, or the Grilled Prawn Skewer, seasoned simply with soy–mirin glaze, flame-grilled and brushed with sweet–savory tare sauce. Served with house-made Andaliman sambal. To end on a sweet note, try the Charred Pineapple Flambé with creamy vanilla ice cream, or the elegant Poached Pear served with charcoal-infused vanilla ice cream, each dessert crafted with fire and flair.
The experience extends beyond the plate with the Behind Bar concept, a curated beverage corner that transforms from a refreshing beverage during the day into an interactive bar experience by night. Guests are invited to engage directly with bartenders, witness the cocktail-making artistry, and explore a selection of house-crafted drinks in a relaxed, convivial setting.
Whether it is a business lunch or a celebratory evening under the stars, Embers offers an atmosphere where every moment feels like an occasion. With a sleek yet cozy design and panoramic views that transition beautifully from day to night, the space embodies Swissôtel’s philosophy of well-being, indulgence, and quality time.
“The launch of Embers Open-Fire Grill ignites an exciting new chapter in Jakarta’s culinary scene. We are confident it will become a premier culinary and lifestyle destination for both residents and visitors, offering service and flavours that are truly in a class of their own,” said Sunardi Song, General Manager, Swissôtel Living Jakarta Mega Kuningan.
