South Jakarta


Inside the swanky Fairmont hotel, this dark and cavernous venue hosts live jazz, pop, funk, world music, classical and more on a regular basis. You can order pizza, pasta and Indonesian dishes (from 85,000Rp to 395,000Rp). There are two impressive glowing chandeliers in the dining room.
