Tom’s at The Langham Jakarta is scheduled to open in September 2021

Scheduled to open in September 2021, Tom’s by renowned UK chef, Tom Aikens at The Langham Jakarta will be located on the 62nd floor of the hotel.  The European restaurant features Italian mosaic flooring by Sicis, Knoll chairs, leather upholstered benches, old world chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows, showcasing views of Jakarta’s skyline from the Sudirman Central Business District.

Growing up with his father who is a French wine merchant, Aikens spent significant amounts of time experiencing French cuisine and culture. He further refined his craft under the tutelage of Pierre Koffmann and Joel Robuchon, and was the youngest chef who achieved Two Michelin stars at 26 years old.  The style of cuisine at Tom’s is British and French influenced.

The Marrone open kitchen will showcase the lively process, the Himalayan salt-dry meat lockers will age the best quality beef; the wood fired grill will layer complexity into any simple flavor; the épicerie like shelves will offer a wide variety of charcuterie and cheeses along with wide selections of wine.

Tom will also introduce European nostalgia to the Jakarta dining scene with highly styled à la carte Gueridon service of meat carvings, burrata and various desserts. Champagnes and cocktails will also be presented and prepared for guests at the table.
The burrata trolley will be stocked with the finest from Pugliese, complete with fresh garnishes and accompaniments. On weekends, there will be roast beef that is carved at the table. Seasonal seafood towers made up of the fresh seafood sourced from sustainable fisheries are changed daily or weekly dependent on the availability of the freshest produce, which will also be a focal dish on the dining table.

Tom’s also features a mezzanine lounge that overlooks the restaurant with a circular steel stairs connected to the cosy wooden cladded bar which specializes in the largest and most varied whiskey selections in Jakarta.

Tom’s at The Langham, Jakarta will be helmed by Executive Sous Chef, Giles Langford. Chef Langford, who was trained by Aikens, initially studied Agriculture and Horticulture but revealed a passion for food and travel, mixed with a fondness of an organic kitchen and a love for modern-classical French cuisine and Italian gastronomy. He will also create a rooftop eco-garden at the hotel where the freshly grown herbs will be used solely at the restaurant.

In addition, T’ang Court, inspired by its Three Michelin Starred Cantonese restaurant namesake at The Langham, Hong Kong, will make its debut into Southeast Asia. Afternoon tea aficionados may bask at the beautiful environs at Alice, and for those who are familiar with the Artesian at The Langham, London will delight in knowing that its latest outpost will be at the dazzling rooftop of The Langham, Jakarta.
