Potato Head Garage

The PTT family proudly presents , the newest member of the family that already consists of the Potato Head restaurant in Jakarta and the popular Potato Head Beach Club in Bali. Located in SCBD's Fairgrounds complex, Potato Head Garage uses the space of what was previously an old abandoned stadium. Because of its previous function, the place goes perfectly well with the dozen or so chandeliers that hang from more than a dozen chandeliers from different eras — from the 1920s to the 1980s — hang beautifully from the high ceilings. The restaurant normally accommodates 270 customers, but it is also possible to host standing parties for 700 people; making it an ideal venue for formal gatherings. The real treat, however, is obviously the food and drinks available at Potato Head Garage. Chef is originally from Osaka, but his culinary training mostly revolved around French cuisine. The combination of his native cultural background and professional training brings a fresh touch to the dishes he prepares — particularly the steak dishes. Not only are the cooking techniques unique, but the range of premium beef used enhance the quality of the establishment's steak. For refreshments, Potato Head Garage bar offers an extensive type of mojitos, which is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Mixologist who relocated from London to Jakarta shows his talent by putting together his own mojito mixes, giving the restaurant more points of originality. Despite the elegant industrial character of the restaurant, the place resonates a relaxed and natural vibe. Such a balance can be achieved because there is a total 210 types of plants sitting in pretty pots all around the premises. The greeneries are what make the restaurant's environment very enjoyable and not intimidating towards customers. It is this element that distinguishes Potato Head Garage from other restaurants offering top-notch meals. While the restaurant's menu is indeed special, Potato Head Garage does not aim to build an exclusive "fine-dining" image for itself. The main goal is to run a steak house that preserves classic flavours while adapting it to modern elements. As of May 22, 2013, Potato Head Garage will also be open for lunch.
