July at The St. Regis Jakarta moves across several directions at once: Indonesian regional cooking at Bel Étage, French dining at Solène, and a Seoul-led cocktail takeover at The St. Regis Bar. Rather than building the month around one headline event, the hotel’s calendar brings together three distinct experiences, each tied to a different way of gathering at the table.
Starting with the newly opened Solène, it celebrates Bastille Day between 10 and 15 July with Bastille au Soleil, a French four-course menu inspired by the sunlit flavours of Southern France. The occasion reflects the French habit of gathering over a meal, where celebration does not need to be loud to feel complete. The menu moves through a composed sequence, including Black Cod with Choron Hollandaise, Black Angus Rib-Eye, and Mille-Feuille as a final sweet note. It is a fitting setting for Solène, where the French brasserie mood allows the menu to feel celebratory but still measured.
The month’s Indonesian story arrives through Torang Pe Rasa, a two-day dining showcase at Bel Étage on 18 and 19 July 2026. Led by Chef Jovan Koraag, chef-founder of Jakarta’s Manado restaurant Mata Karanjang, the collaboration celebrates the cooking traditions of Manado and Minahasa through recipes rooted in memory, spice, and regional pride.
For Torang Pe Rasa, the menu highlights some of the region’s most recognisable dishes. Brenebon Soup brings red beans, beef short ribs, and mixed spices into a warm Manadonese staple, while Ayam Kinetor uses free-range chicken, Manado herbs, and bamboo cooking to build aroma and depth. Tinorangsak, made with lamb shoulder slow-cooked in a spice-rich sauce, adds a stronger note, with Fish Roe Woku, Gohu, Klappertaart, and other regional specialities rounding out the experience. The result is a showcase that feels generous without becoming overly polished, keeping the spirit of Mari Jo Makang intact.
The bar programme, meanwhile, turns toward Seoul through Raising The Bar featuring Gong Gan, Korea. For one night only on 22 July, Gong Gan brings its Korean cocktail philosophy to The St. Regis Bar, introducing a style built around cultural storytelling, memory, and the balance between old and new. Set in a traditional hanok and led by owner-bartender Willy Park, Gong Gan draws from childhood memories and respect for ingredients. The concept has also earned wider regional attention, placing at No. 63 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars Extended List.
Taken together, the July calendar shows how The St. Regis Jakarta continues to use its dining venues as different stages. Bel Étage becomes a place for Indonesian regional heritage, Solène leans into French celebration, and The St. Regis Bar opens the door to Seoul’s contemporary cocktail scene. For guests, the month offers several reasons to return, whether for a table of North Sulawesi dishes, a French dinner, or a cocktail programme shaped by Korean craft.
