August Jakarta

August is a contemporary restaurant in Jakarta where modern cooking draws on flavours from around the world and the culinary traditions of Indonesia. The approach combines international influence with a clear connection to Indonesian ingredients, tastes and culture, creating a dining style that is creative without fitting neatly into a single cuisine category.

Located on the ground floor of Sequis Tower, the restaurant is arranged around an open kitchen that gives the main dining area an active, connected atmosphere. The setting is polished and considered, with the kitchen forming part of the dining experience rather than remaining entirely behind the scenes. August suits diners looking for a focused evening meal in a refined but engaging environment.

Several seating areas offer different ways to experience the restaurant. The main dining room provides views towards the open kitchen and a livelier sense of the room. The Chef’s Counter is designed for solo diners and pairs, with seats facing the pastry kitchen and a close view of dessert preparation. The lounge, positioned by the bar, has two-seater tables arranged face to face and works well for couples or pairs.

For a more secluded arrangement, the Chef’s Table accommodates up to eight people and overlooks the open kitchen. A private dining room provides a more contained setting for gatherings with fewer distractions. These choices make August suitable for different occasions, from an intimate meal for two to a small group dinner or a more private celebration.

The restaurant’s character comes from the balance between composed hospitality and visible craftsmanship. The open-kitchen layout adds energy, while the range of seating allows the atmosphere to shift from social and animated to quiet and enclosed. August is located at Sequis Tower, Ground Floor #03-02, on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman in Senayan, South Jakarta. Dining takes place from Tuesday to Saturday, with evening service listed from 5:30pm to 10:30pm.
