Jakarta brunch lives in two worlds. There is the cafe strand in Menteng and Kemang, leafy all-day rooms doing eggs Benedict and the big Australian breakfast, and there is the hotel circuit in Kuningan and Thamrin, tableside Beef Wellington and Affogato trolleys that run past a million rupiah a head. The contrarian read is that you do not need the buffet to brunch well here; some of the best mornings are a la carte under the trees in Menteng. We ranked six currently-open rooms across both. For the wider city, see our Jakarta dining guide.
1.The Acre
A leafy Menteng bistro doing a la carte brunch daily, opening early on weekends; go for the smoked-salmon Benedict.
The Acre is the brunch the city goes to when it wants trees and air, a spacious open-air bistro on Cokroaminoto in leafy Menteng. It runs a la carte every day, opening as early as 7 a.m. on weekends, with brunch dishes served through to mid-afternoon, which makes it the most flexible room on this list. The kitchen does the modern-bistro brunch well, a Bacon and Smoked Salmon Benedict, a croque madame, Dutch poffertjes for the table. Prices sit mid-range, roughly a hundred to two hundred thousand rupiah a head. For a relaxed, daily, no-occasion brunch in a green setting, this is the pick. Go early on a weekend, take an open-air table, and order the Benedict.

2.Bel Etage at The St. Regis
A tableside-theatre weekend brunch with Beef Wellington and a cheese room; the city's grand hotel spread done well.
Bel Etage at The St. Regis Jakarta is the grand weekend brunch, the one with tableside theatre. Saturday and Sunday, the kitchen carves OP ribs, Beef Wellington and salt-baked fish at the table, backed by a signature cheese room and a menu that rotates weekly so regulars never see the same spread twice. Pricing is tiered, from a wind-down option around 888,000 rupiah to top tiers past two million, so pick the tier to the appetite. It is the brunch for an occasion, polished, generous and theatrical. For the full luxury hotel brunch experience, this is the pick. Book the weekend, choose your tier, and let them carve at the table.

3.The Dining Room at Park Hyatt
A quiet, tableside Sunday brunch with lobster, oysters and an affogato trolley; the refined alternative to the buffet scrum.
The Dining Room at Park Hyatt Jakarta runs a Sunday brunch that trades the buffet scrum for tableside service, which is its whole appeal. From noon to 3 p.m., the kitchen sends out lobster and oysters at the table, dry-aged beef, and closes with an affogato trolley, all in a hushed, residential-feel room with filtered skyline views. Pricing starts around 888,000 rupiah, with early-bird and pay-one-dine-two offers that can bring it down. It is the refined, grown-up choice, less spectacle than the St. Regis, more calm. For a quiet, polished Sunday brunch without the buffet rush, this is the pick. Book Sunday, ask about the dine-two offer, and save room for the affogato.

4.Signatures at Kempinski
A grand Sunday buffet at Bundaran HI with king crab and a serious Indonesian section; the big-spread option.
Signatures at the Hotel Indonesia Kempinski runs the city's grand international buffet brunch from the iconic Bundaran HI hotel on Thamrin. Sunday, 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., the spread runs wide, Alaskan king crab, a prime-rib carving station, and, unusually, an Indonesian section treated as a full equal to the Western stations, with rendang and soto rather than an afterthought. There is even a German Paulaner corner. Pricing sits around 868,000 rupiah a head. It is the brunch for people who want a vast spread and the comfort of strong local food within it. For a classic grand-buffet Sunday at a landmark address, this is the pick. Go Sunday and work the Indonesian section as hard as the carving line.

5.Arts Cafe at Raffles
A refined Sunday brunch with seafood on ice, foie gras and the city's best patisserie; go for the pastry program.
Arts Cafe at Raffles Jakarta runs a refined Sunday brunch that blends a buffet with a show kitchen, framed by Hendra Gunawan murals in Ciputra World. From noon to 3 p.m., the spread runs to seafood on ice and foie gras from the show kitchen, but the standout is the Raffles Patisserie, viennoiserie and petit gateaux that make the strongest pastry program in the city's hotel-brunch field. Pricing starts around 758,000 rupiah a head, which makes it one of the more accessible luxury options. For a brunch where the dessert table is the reason to come, this is the pick. Book Sunday and pace yourself to the patisserie.

6.Antipodean
A revamped Kemang cafe doing the big Australian breakfast all day; the casual everyday brunch with cafe-culture roots.
Antipodean is the Kemang cafe that helped bring Australian and New Zealand cafe culture to Jakarta, and a recent revamp moved it into a much larger space. It runs all-day breakfast every day, so brunch is whenever you arrive, and the menu does the antipodean staples properly, the Big Breakfast of scrambled egg, mushrooms, hash browns, toast and a sausage or bacon, and a French toast with maple. Pricing is mid-range cafe. It is the relaxed, dependable Kemang brunch, no occasion required, the kind of place you go back to on a slow Sunday. For an unpretentious cafe brunch with proper coffee credentials, this is the pick. Order the Big Breakfast and a flat white.

Avoid for brunch
Closed, reopening unknown
Local Brunch Club. The popular brunch spot is temporarily closed and relocating, by its own account, with no confirmed reopening. Do not plan around it until the new location opens and is verified.
Open, but a crowd not a calm brunch
Union, Plaza Senayan. The red velvet cake is rightly loved, but Union runs as a packed all-day cafe with near-constant queues, not a relaxed brunch. Good only if you accept the crowds and book ahead.
How to book brunch in Jakarta
Jakarta brunch divides into casual and grand, and they book differently. The cafes, The Acre, KOI Kemang, Antipodean, run a la carte daily, so you can usually walk in, though weekend mornings fill, so go early. The hotel brunches, St. Regis, Park Hyatt, Raffles, Kempinski, are mostly weekend events with tiered pricing, so book ahead and confirm the current tier and any free-flow add-on. Traffic is the real planning factor, so pick a brunch near where you are staying, Menteng and Kemang for the south, Thamrin and Kuningan for the hotels. A note for 2026: Local Brunch Club is temporarily closed and relocating, so do not plan around it until it reopens. For the wider city, see our Jakarta dining guide and the RFK rankings index.
