ALICE by Tom Aikens: A Transformation of French Culinary in Jakarta

The culinary icon of The Langham, Jakarta returns with a fresh and refined identity. ALICE by Tom Aikens, now located in the heart of SCBD at District 8, opens a new chapter — one that blends the romance of classic French bistro dining with a touch of modern elegance, curated by the legendary British chef, Tom Aikens. Known as the youngest chef in the UK to be awarded two Michelin stars, Aikens brings his mastery to the Jakarta dining scene in an elevated new form.

Since its inception, ALICE has been known as a place where elegance meets comfort — a warm bistro atmosphere paired with tempting classic fare. Today, ALICE emerges with a revitalised concept, staying true to its roots while embracing a more contemporary vision: delivering authentic French cuisine, rich in flavour, refined in technique, and globally inspired in its aesthetic.
 

The redesigned interiors of ALICE offer a more intimate and contemporary ambience, while retaining the chic and cosy atmosphere beloved by its loyal guests. With an inviting indoor space and an open outdoor terrace, ALICE provides the ideal setting for everything from leisurely breakfasts and business lunches to elegant evening dinners.

From Breakfast to Dinner, Every Moment Elevated
Now open from morning to evening, ALICE serves premium-quality dishes — from bistro-style breakfasts to flavourful dinners. Breakfast has become a highlight, offering a wide selection perfect for SCBD professionals alike seeking a refined start to their day.
 

At lunchtime, ALICE introduces two curated offerings tailored to the city’s dynamic rhythm:
• Weekday Set Lunch (Monday–Friday) — A stylish yet swift two-course experience (1 starter and 1 main course) priced at IDR 250,000++ per person. Available from 11:00 to 15:00, guests can enhance their meal with a dessert of their choice for only IDR 60,000 (excluding profiteroles). This menu is presented in a dedicated format and can be paired with a selection of wines to complete the dining experience.
 

• Weekend Lunch Specials (Saturday & Sunday) — Featuring Chef’s Weekly Specials, this offering includes 1 main course and 1 beverage for IDR 200,000++ per person. Served from 11:00 to 18:00, it caters to guests looking for a relaxed lunch before indulging in Afternoon Tea starting 17 July 2025.
 

Come evening, guests can enjoy an à la carte menu of French bistro classics reimagined with contemporary flair. Signature dishes include Escalope de Saumon à l’Oseille — seared salmon with a refreshing sorrel sauce — and Côte de Veau — tender veal chop with a golden crust and rich jus. Dishes can be complemented with timeless sides such as Gratin Dauphinois or Haricots Verts Lyonnaise, and classic sauces including béarnaise, mushroom, and black pepper. Also on offer is the Plats du Jour — a rotating daily menu inspired by traditional French comfort fare such as Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au Vin, cooked with heart and an eye for detail.

“We aim to create a dining experience that is warm, full of character, and truly memorable,” says Chef Tom Aikens. “ALICE is a tribute to the traditions of French cuisine, while also reflecting the creativity and modernity I bring from my culinary journey.”
