Merah Putih
Modern Indonesian fine dining named after the red-and-white of the Indonesian flag
Merah Putih ('red and white,' the colors of the Indonesian flag) takes traditional Indonesian dishes and gives them a modern fine-dining treatment, in a striking architectural space built around a central atrium. It's a strong choice for anyone who wants genuinely Indonesian flavors without the ultra-casual warung setting.
The food
Traditional Indonesian recipes reworked with modern technique and presentation — a middle ground between a warung's authenticity and a Western-style fine-dining format, leaning toward family-style sharing.
The space
The architecture is a genuine draw on its own — a dramatic central atrium and striking modern design that stands out even in a city full of beautifully designed restaurants.
Practical tips
- —Order family-style and share — the menu is built around that format, not individual mains.
- —The atrium space photographs well but book ahead for a table with a good view of it.
- —A solid choice for a group wanting genuinely Indonesian food in a dressier setting than a warung.
