“We are thrilled to be hosting this collaboration with Chef Yvonne, who is well known in Jakarta’s gastronomic circles,” says General Manager Simon Barnett. “Led by Chef Marco, our team at Alto has long been at the forefront of fine dining in Indonesia. We can’t wait for guests to join us for this superb culinary experience.”
Framed by sweeping views of the Jakarta skyline, the penthouse-style setting of Alto is illuminated in reds and ivories – a refined setting for this extraordinary private dining experience.
China Meets Italy
The seven-course tasting menu is filled with exquisite indulgences, drawing elements from both Chinese and Italian cuisines.
“Both Chef Yvonne and I come from ancient culinary cultures that go back millennia,” notes Chef Marco. “Finding innovative ways to combine these two traditions was an exciting and rewarding process.”
Discover original dishes such as Collagen Royale and Abalone Mushroom “Tea” Soup, followed by intricate creations like Sea Cucumber, a masterful composition of prawns, cucumber tagliatelle and braised sea cucumber.
The Sea Bass is pan fried and elevated with egg white custard and Bottarga mullet roe, while the Tagliatelle is crafted with homemade pasta and braised beef brisket. Each plate is artistically presented, a fine balance of poetry and precision. End the journey on a sweet note with multicultural desserts.
