Blowfish Kitchen and Bar GF City Plaza at Wisma Mulia Jalan Jend. Gatot Subroto Kav 42 Jakarta Selatan Indonesia Tel: +62 21 5297 1234 www.blowfish-puro.com

This handsome contemporary joint has a designer feel to everything, including its stylish bar and restaurant with a dramatic open kitchen. It has a slick cocktail lounge/wine bar above and a pricey but excellent nouvelle sushi restaurant below, where patrons can indulge in executive chef Hugo Adrian’s wickedly inventive delights. Think pan-fried foie gras with a sautéed scallop served with enoki and champignon fungus over blueberry coulis, and Kinzan sake salmon tartare drizzled with yuzu and topped with black caviar. Blowfish is a spectacular spot where fashionable Jakarta likes to strut its stuff. The place often rings with the carefree laughter of the young and rich.
