Esa

Founded by Chef Aditya Muskita alongside visionary partners Jessica Eveline and Kevindra Soemantri, ESA positions itself as a pioneer of New Jakarta Cuisine, an elevated culinary aesthetic that celebrates the city's richly layered flavors and cross-cultural heritage through a contemporary lens. The restaurant blends a fine-casual ambiance with warm visual storytelling, centered around an open kitchen and interiors reminiscent of an art gallery. On the plate, ESA reimagines the depth of Betawi, Sundanese, Chinese, and European influences through a thoughtfully curated degustation menu, featuring standout creations such as Besan, inspired by a traditional Betawi vegetable dish; Duck Porridge; and Memories of Copenhagen, a dessert steeped in nostalgia.
