Lara Djonggrang
Jakarta
At a glance
Lara Djonggrang is an Indonesian restaurant in Menteng, Central Jakarta, set inside a formal Dutch mansion. Its dining concept draws on the royal journeys of King Hayam Wuruk of the Majapahit Kingdom, using those historical expeditions as a starting point for a menu shaped by the varied culinary traditions of the Indonesian archipelago.
The restaurant’s story follows the movement of royal entourages through coastal and port cities, where local cooking developed through centuries of exchange along maritime trade routes. That background gives the food a historical and regional focus, connecting the menu with the many culinary cultures that grew across Java, Sumatra, and other parts of the archipelago. Lara Djonggrang presents this idea as a journey into the older kitchens of Indonesia rather than as a single regional style.
The setting is designed around heritage, artistry, and a mystical, romantic atmosphere. The mansion provides a formal backdrop for a dining experience that places Indonesian history at the centre of the occasion. The restaurant’s character suits diners looking for a meal with a strong sense of place, as well as gatherings where the setting carries as much importance as the food.
Alongside the restaurant, La Bihzad Bar forms part of the venue’s offering. The property also includes private rooms and flexible dining spaces that can be arranged for business conferences, small board meetings, social gatherings, or intimate family occasions. This makes Lara Djonggrang suitable for both individual dining and planned events, with room formats that can be adapted to the scale and nature of the booking.
Lara Djonggrang is located at Jl. Teuku Cik Ditiro No.4, RT.3/RW.2, Gondangdia, Kecamatan Menteng, Kota Jakarta Pusat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 10350, Indonesia. Reservations are handled by phone, with RSVP only at 0811-9108-966. The venue’s historical theme, Indonesian cuisine, mansion setting, and event facilities make it a considered choice for heritage-focused dining, private celebrations, and formal gatherings.
