There is a vibrant culinary scene in Jakarta and expats are no
stranger to it. French, German, Italian, Australian expats work in
kitchens across the city, sharing the same passion for food in what can
sometimes be a challenging environment. Sophie Chavanel visited seven
expat chefs in their kitchens to find out how they ended up in Jakarta
and what makes each restaurant stand out from the crowd.

German
Moved
to Jakarta: 2012
What
brought you to Jakarta?
After eight years in Bali, I was
looking for a new challenge.
Where
were you working before?
Kori
restaurant Bar in Kuta.
What
is the most difficult ingredient to find?
Quark, it’s a cheese from Germany
we use for baking.
Roast pork knuckles, but make sure
you order in advance. This fine German delicacy takes three hours to prepare.
It is with a very ungerman
broad smile that Chef Ralf welcomes us to Die Stube, a
classic German pub tucked away in a little alley at the entrance of Kemang.
Everything about this Bavarian restaurant makes you feel as if you have stepped
into ‘little Germany’ in the middle of Jakarta. The Tudor-inspired building
facade, the big wooden picnic tables inside, the authentic menu and the German
beer selection is similar to what you would find in any classic pub in Germany,
and it’s all about meat! The spatzles and
roasted potatoes are very tasty. I also recommend the platter of homemade
sausages to share. Die Stube is a noisy and lively place where
expats and Indonesians, regular customers and curious newbies, mingle. Be ready
to share your table and meet new friends! Great spot to gather with a big group
of people, to watch sports or for a family dinner.
