"Two-Michelin-starred Kirk Westaway reinvents British cooking on Fairmont Jakarta's 22nd floor — splurge on the six-course Crown Menu to impress clients."
About The Crown by Kirk Westaway
Jakarta's most ambitious new restaurant is British, and it sits twenty-two floors above the traffic. The Crown by Kirk Westaway opened in 2025 as the first overseas room from the chef behind JAAN by Kirk Westaway in Singapore, which holds two Michelin stars. It brings his particular project — reinventing British cooking with technique and lightness — to a skyline dining room at the top of Fairmont Jakarta, with day-to-night city views as the backdrop.
This is destination, occasion dining rather than a casual hotel table. For the rest of the city's rooms by occasion, see our Jakarta dining guide.
The Kitchen
Kirk Westaway leads the concept, with chef de cuisine Asa Sibcy — trained under Heston Blumenthal — running the Jakarta pass. The cooking is Westaway's reinvented British: precise, vegetable-forward, built on classical technique. The plate that travels with him is the scallop set against a pour of foamy English pea soup with asparagus, lettuce and pancetta — the dish that shows how he pairs a prime protein with garden flavours rather than burying it.
Dinner is a set tasting format: a six-course Crown Menu at IDR 1,899,000++, a five-course Signature at IDR 1,699,000++, and a four-course Classic at IDR 1,399,000++ per person. There is no à la carte; you come for the menu and the view. The address is the 22nd floor of Fairmont Jakarta in Senayan. For the wider field, see our best fine-dining restaurants worldwide guide.
The Room
The room is the other headline: a 22nd-floor dining room walled in glass, with the Jakarta skyline running from sunset to city lights through dinner. Sound is hushed and refined, the lighting is low and designed to flatter both the plates and the view, and the tables are well spaced for a private conversation. Dress is smart elegant; this is a jacket-leaning room. Ask for a window table and time the booking for sunset, when the room is at its best.
Best for Impress Clients
The Crown is made to impress clients, because a two-Michelin-starred name, a tasting menu and a skyline window do the persuading before the first course lands. It is an equally strong proposal room — a sunset window table, a long set menu and a quiet, refined floor are exactly the conditions a proposal wants. It sits in our Jakarta dining guide as the city's most ambitious new table.
Not for
Not for a quick or casual meal — The Crown is a multi-course, multi-hour tasting-menu room at IDR 1.4–1.9 million a head, with no à la carte shortcut for a light dinner.
