Image
Can you name places to savor proper steak in Jakarta, not many. Here's the newest, Altitude Grill . With great view from the 46th Floor at The Plaza, dinner will be even more romantic. More than a steak house, they have a lot more to offer. Premium cuts, dry aged beef, and of delicious side dishes. They're using Omi Hime wahyu from Shiga Prefecture.  welcome bread Started with Grilled Watermelon Salad  (IDR 120.000) served with feta, arugula, and 25 years aged Balsmic vinegar, light and fresh, the grilled watermelon has very unique texture, closely like sashimi.  Apple Mango Prawn Cocktail (IDR 120.000) Scallop Squid Rings  (IDR 250.000) with crispy pancetta and raspberry jam, delicate appetizer, salty pancetta with sweet and sour raspberry, great combination. Next  Triple Cooked Wagyu Ox-Tongue (IDR 180.000), super tender, melt in mouth, I'm not a fan of tongue but it was an exception. Served with hazelnut pure, the onion was lovely.

AB Steak By Chef Akira Back Jakarta: A Modern Korean-American Steak House

Image
It's unlike any other steak house, not really a Korean BBQ, AB Steak By Chef Akira Back . A new place to enjoy American steak with a touch of Korean, so how does it work? There's a grill on every table, the choice from Japanese wagyu to house-aged meat, fancy seating, it's a very unique combination. It's not too early to tell, "book your seat" - OK now let's find out the menu. Appetizers - from Steamed Bun (IDR 150.000) to Scallop Crudo (IDR 135.000), very appetizing and flavorful, while Chicken Wings (IDR 95.000) was quite nice, a little spicy, tasted very Korean though, and Amberjack Carpaccio (IDR 195.000) too salty for my palate, probably as it's served on a salt block but the citrus sauce was really good, fresh, balance out the saltiness, I think it will be great if it's served on a regular plate. Steak Tartare Steak Tartare (IDR 185.000) - not a fan of steak tartare but yes to bone marrow, roasted bone marrow topped with wagyu tartare.
