Thamrin & Menteng

Jalan Thamrin and the leafy, historic district of Menteng form central Jakarta's heritage heart. Around the Bundaran HI roundabout, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, Grand Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental-area hotels and the Pullman host some of the capital's longest-running Sunday brunches, with views over the fountain and easy access to Grand Indonesia and Plaza Indonesia. Menteng adds colonial-era villas, boutique restaurants and cafés serving relaxed weekend brunch menus. It's an area for both classic hotel buffets, including halal-certified options, and characterful neighbourhood brunches. Bundaran HI and Dukuh Atas MRT stations serve the area, and car-free Sunday mornings along Thamrin make brunch the natural end to a morning stroll.
