I held my wedding at 1928 Restaurant, The Hermitage, on September 20, 2024, and it was an amazing day for my husband and me. We are grateful to Mas Bagus Maulana, Mas Anton, Kak Silmi, and the entire team for their support throughout the day and for providing excellent service. They ensured that the dinner buffet was always fully stocked, the venue was clean, and our guests were comfortable.

We even received a complimentary cake and photo memories from Mas Bagus, which was a lovely gesture that created lasting memories.

From the beginning, the team was committed to providing us with insightful information and helping us meet our budget for the dinner buffet while offering the best services possible. They were responsive and easy to communicate with, even on weekends and public holidays.

My husband and I are truly thankful and glad that we chose the 1928 Restaurant, The Hermitage, to celebrate our wedding day. We highly recommend it to anyone reading this review or anyone still unsure about where to host their special day. This lovely place is worth considering!

This restaurant is situated in The Hermitage Jakarta. During my business trip, I had the opportunity to dine at the restaurant located in the hotel lobby for my lunch on one of the days. The atmosphere was quite nice and cozy. Their menu also have a variety of dishes ranging from Western food, Indonesian food, etc.

I ordered a grilled Norwegian salmon with a truffle mashed potatoes as a side dish while my colleague ordered an Ayam Bakar Soto. I really like how the salmon was grilled with perfection with the really crispy skin. The truffle mashed potatoes were also really flavourful with really strong truffle taste.

One thing to comment on is that I waited quite a long time for my food. Overall, the food was delicious, and I believe that the restaurant meets the expected standards.

The whole experience of this colonial themed hotel and dining is amazing. This restaurant and the whole hotel will take you to a reminiscing place in the olden Indonesia days when it was still called Dutch Hindi.

The service is great, and the food selection is divine. The wonderful fusion from tempe nachos, to nasi goreng crispy pork, bone marrow with bacon, and milky shrimp is something to look forward to.

The price is definitely on the high side...but when there's a price there's also certain quality that comes with it.

It is truly an unforgettable experience and definitely one of those places that you dont hear often but it is a hidden gem in the heart of jakarta menteng area.

To top it off you could actually go to the rooftop to enjoy a few cocktails.

For hotel visitor this restaurant provides menu order or buffet set of mixed indonesian, asian and western dishes. We tried american breakfast as the starter and it was good, fresh and in a fair portion. The bread and cookies are also sweet (but not too sweet) and toothsome.

The number of tables is not to much, so make sure you ask the waiter to serve you up front. The restaurant opens from 06:00 to 10:00 for breakfast.
