Jakarta’s dining scene welcomes The Cutler Prime Ribs, a prime steakhouse led by Chef Mandira. Alongside it, Bar Monroe offers cocktails and an atmosphere inspired by Hollywood icons.
What does it take to create a dining spot that feels both international and unmistakably local in its ambition? Jakarta now has its answer with the arrival of The Cutler Prime Ribs at Pacific Place Mall, a New York–style prime steakhouse guided by Chef-Owner Mandira. With roots at Le Cordon Bleu in London and Sydney, Mandira built his reputation on precision and heritage, and here he sets out a clear mission: to serve the city’s best prime rib, prepared with honesty and technique. His approach is stripped of gimmicks, allowing the cut of meat, the slow sear and the anticipation of the first bite to define the experience.
The dining room mirrors this philosophy. Intimate in scale yet elegant detail, it combines Italian finesse with French technique, supported by a wine cellar that doubles as a stage for pairings. The atmosphere is designed for long evenings, conversations stretched over courses and a lingering sense that this is a place where attention to detail matters.
Balancing this is Bar Monroe, The Cutler’s counterpart and its own destination. Inspired by Hollywood’s golden era, Monroe takes cues from figures like Marilyn and James, bringing a sense of glamour without pretension. Velvet lighting, martinis that taste like classics reborn and an energy that feels alive long past midnight make it more than an after-dinner stop. It is a deliberate pairing, a nod to the synergy between a steakhouse rooted in precision and a bar that celebrates timeless allure.
Together, The Cutler and Monroe represent more than a new addition to SCBD’s dining map. It speaks to Jakarta’s growing appetite for venues that take food and drink seriously while delivering an atmosphere worth remembering.
