Elbow Room Restaurant

Aimed at the more discerning customer, Elbow Room is a classy bar-cum-restaurant located in the leafy confines of Kemang in South Jakarta. Inside, the mood is rather restrained with the dim lighting. But spacious it is, and the high ceilings coupled with the extensive use of wooden paneling give the place a warm and cozy feel. If you don’t want to sit at the tables downstairs, head upstairs and sink into one of the huge and extremely comfy sofas. Wine is the drink of choice here, but be warned: you can only order it by the bottle and not the glass. As for the food, prices are reasonable. Items include New Zealand Mussels and a range of succulent steaks. Bon appetit! - Martin Jenkins
