Migration Calls
The new Immigrant Dining Room invites you on a journey of timeless classical charm to the rapturous era of the early 20th century – the birth of fashion and lifestyle.
The newly revamped Immigrant Dining Room is back, bringing twice the elegance and classy ambience the establishment is well-known for. To bring back the feel of the glamorous eras of yore, Immigrant Dining Room has outdone itself, creating “a melting pot that is casual and sophisticated, industrial and glamorous”.
Immigrant, which has long been one of Jakarta’s most visited nightlife destinations, is proudly retracing its epicurean roots by reopening The Immigrant Dining Room within the club’s sprawling block on the 6th floor of Plaza Indonesia. The menu has retained some of the restaurant’s classic selections, as well as adding ravishing new dishes and refreshing cocktails.
The Forest Mushroom soup is packed with four types of mushrooms: black truffle, button, porcini and portobello. With parmesan and thyme foam, and a touch of truffle oil on top of the soup, the presentation of this wildly delicious broth is simply glamorous.
Among the à la carte selections, the recommended all-day favourite is the Escargot Garlic Butter – a very classic serving of oven-baked French escargot in garlic and herbed butter served with toasted sourdough bread. Another popular snack is the Duck Spring Roll, which has twice deep-fried duck combined with shitake mushroom, ginger and candied orange zest served with shredded apple and herb salad. The thick and tasty chilli sauce reacts fantastically with the duck in your mouth, creating an elevated rich taste and crunchiness.
The two most popular signature main course dishes are Barbecued King Prawn and Barbecued Pork Spare Ribs. Packed with classic, multinational flavours, these delightful dishes provide the perfect start before hitting the dance floor of Immigrant next door; after a brief intermission, of course.
The pork ribs are marinated in honey and mustard for as long as 48 hours, giving them a distinct sweetness and a touch of spiciness. Served on the side, the spiced apple salad and truffle mashed potato completes the dish. The highlight is the sensation you get when the deliciously tender meat melts in your mouth.
A glorious treat for spicy seafood enthusiasts, the prawns are marinated in a spicy Asian-inspired marinade served with Indonesian-style grilled pandan rice pilaf stuffed with salted fish and traditional fresh pickles, dressed with a special Pakistani sauce. The dish also comes with the famous Balinese sambal matah, a challenging addition for those who like their food extra spicy. With a fusion of tastes of multinational origin, the Barbecued King Prawn is an all-around exotic delicacy found only in The Immigrant Dining Room.
Several signature cocktails include the Rose Martini, a blend of gin, rose, grapefruit and lychee that comes with an actual pink rose and a lone petal inside the glass, and the GTO, which is made up of gin, triple sec, orange, grape, lemon, lime and grapefruit. Last, but not least, the Smoky Bacon Bloody Mary is a secret, off-the-menu cocktail which is a strongly smoky pick based on bacon-flavoured vodka, tomato juice and hot sauce, served with a slice of smoked bacon on top. Given the very strong and masculine smoky flavours, this cocktail is not advisable for the faint-hearted.
