Remarkable Restaurants

At Exquisite Taste, we have an unrivalled penchant for exceptional dining experiences. A great restaurant is more than delectable flavours, it's about the ambience, the service, the accompanying drinks, and the effort that goes into creating a dish. It's the whole package. For this issue of Exquisite Taste, we would like to show our appreciation of the top restaurants that have become favourites among discerning diners. Join us on a journey to Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok as we explore 50 of the best restaurants.

To keep you in the know, our What's Happening pages are full of new dining venues that you should keep an eye on, as well as some exemplary brunches for a weekend treat. Our Gourmet pages introduce Jakarta's popular culinary hangouts Meatsmith and Patty & Sons.

We also talk to inspirational figures in the hospitality and F&B industry. From general managers of five-star hotels – such as Alexander Poindl from The Langham, Jakarta – to restaurateurs who run the hippest dining destinations in Jakarta, like Edo Widjaja, the man behind popular restaurant Meatsmith.

With the summer holidays coming up, we have prepared three holiday destinations that are ideal for your getaway, from The Langham, Jakarta and The Gaia Hotel Bandung, to Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. For the final wrapup, we have news from the wine world, including a new campaign from Penfolds.

Don't forget we also publish our in-depth magazines on our websites and have great apps for you to access all our features. These are good options to discover our current and past print magazine content, as well as continually updated pieces from around the region and beyond. Visit www.exquisite-taste-magazine.com or download the Exquisite Taste app from the App Store or Google Play.

From all the team at Exquisite Taste, we wish you a scrumptious read and stay safe.

Cheers!
