Michelin-starred chef Akira Back brings his fun, quirky style to Jakarta’s diners with his eponymous restaurant Akira Back in the city centre. Serving imaginative dishes that tantalise the taste buds and dazzle the senses is not enough for this trendsetter; he brings his own take to fine dining with a stylish restaurant that has a welcoming, lively ambience and a soundtrack crafted to his exacting standards in Las Vegas.
Set on the penthouse level of MD Place, the restaurant has a selection of exclusive private dining areas and multiple beautiful VIP rooms, ideal for celebrations large and small, as well as personal and corporate events.
The menu at Akira Back takes diners on a culinary journey influenced by the chef’s earlier global travels as a competitive snowboarder, with liberal use of Korean and Japanese influences from his childhood. His adventurous take on life can be seen in the unique flavour profiles of his creations, which are enhanced by seasonally fresh ingredients and his culinary talent.
Delight in creative sushi rolls and hot and cold dishes crafted with fresh seafood, organic meats and artisanal ingredients sourced from around the world, many served in shareable portions across multiple courses. Don’t miss the renowned Tuna Pizza on a wafer-thin crust with umami aioli and truffle oil, crispy AB Tacos filled with succulent minced wagyu galbi, 48-hour wagyu short rib and Jidori chicken.
The extensive drink menu includes Akira Back’s own label sake produced by the famous Nanbu Bijin brewery in southern Japan’s Iwate Prefecture, as well as wines, hand-crafted cocktails and other refreshing libations that perfectly match the delicious food.
