Strategically located in one of Jakarta’s busiest malls, it is easy to see why BAE by Socieaty is one of the most popular restaurants in the city. On any night, the restaurant is packed close to bursting with couples on a night out, corporate executives relaxing after a long day and larger groups occupying their favourite tables. Since its inception in the second half of 2017, the restaurant has garnered a loyal following of customers bewitched by its offering of scrumptious bar snacks and delightful potations.
BAE by Socieaty’s tastefully designed interior features framed photographs of tattooed models (a nod to Executive Chef Robert Veenendaal’s design sensibilities), artsy design pieces, naked industrial-style ceilings and a mural of the executive chef. The dining area features marble table tops with outdoor and indoor seating partitioned by modernistic sleek racks bursting with a variety of imported wines and liquors. The restaurant lighting is dim and intimate, with illumination provided by the warm hue of strings of naked bulbs.
Diners at BAE by Socieaty can pick from a menu of international selections featuring Asian and Western dishes dreamt up by the executive chef. For groups looking for sharing plates, the cassava nachos are excellent. Inspired by local tastes, the dish features local cassava chips as a substitute for corn chips served alongside beef, salsa, jalapeno, cheese and sour cream. The truffle carbonara pasta is a must-try dish at the restaurant, a perfect marriage of earthy and aromatic truffle and the classic Italian favourite. For diners looking for something more substantial, try the famous bebek matah. Duck breast is served over fragrant garlic fried rice with crispy egg, diced tomatoes and a spicy sambal matah topping.
The Chef’s Perspective
“I firmly believe that sharing your meal alongside friends and family is one of the most fundamental ways to connect with one another. Every meal is an occasion you get to share and create your memories with — no meal should be eaten alone. Our food is for friends, by friends.”
