1/5
Bottega Ristorante
If Bottega Veneta embodies premium Italian leather goods, Bottega Ristorante embodies the delicious Italian cuisine. It is an elegant, refined restaurant with pristine décor that serves reasonably priced dishes. Don't let your steak get cold as you admire the beautiful space, ceiling to floor!
Bottega Ristorante is located in Menara Danamon, Kawasan Mega Kuningan
2/5
Cloud Lounge & Living Room
Cloud Lounge has a reputation as the place-to-be on weekends. The view (from the 49th floor of Altitude) and ambience overshadows the palatable dishes served in the restaurant. As the name suggests, it is a cozy place. Not to mention their portions are considerably large for the price. Don't miss the Sangria or pizza.. or the sunset!
Cloud Lounge & Livingroom is located on the 49th floor of Altitude The Plaza Office Tower
3/5
E&O
Chef Will Meyrick, known for his brainchild Sarong and Mamasan in Bali, finally decided to give Jakarta a taste of his culinary brilliance. E&O (Eastern & Oriental) is aptly named, featuring a menu of Asian fusions typical to the acclaimed chef.
E&O is located in Menara Rajawali, Kawasan Mega Kuningan
4/5
Akira Back
Akira Back has been all the buzz lately, and rightfully so. Both the venue, 12th floor of the MD Place building, and food do not disappoint. The chic décor makes for a good spot to indulge on their Japanese dishes with a Korean twist, along with options from other cuisines. Their artisanal tacos and sushis are a must-try!

5/5
Amber
Despite being known for their array of desserts, Amber's second floor is dedicated to fresh cocktails and delectable dishes ready to surprise you. Prepare to choose your main course from a seductive selection of black squid-ink risotto, duck confit and pan-seared salmon. Then conveniently proceed to the first floor and face another dilemma in choosing which attractive dessert would conclude your meal.
Amber is located on Jl. Senopati Raya no. 61
