Find a restaurant from the Michelin Guide

Located in ever-fashionable SoHo, this high-energy Indonesian restaurant is a party in the front and in the back. Warm teak paneling, live plants, and candles set the stage at the close-quartered bar and in the equally rowdy dining room. Chef/co-owner Cédric Vongerichten strikes his own balance of Indonesian and French inspiration, and a menu of satays, light and seafood-heavy small plates, and robust, nicely spiced entrees offers wide appeal to an equally diverse crowd. Escargot rendang with garlic-herb butter is a delight with batons of toasted brioche. Lobster noodles with black pepper butter hit a notch higher on the boldness scale, while the charred chicken lombok is comfort on a platter. A thoughtful cocktail menu adds fuel to the fun.
