E&O is a unique Asian dining experience from the collaboration between acclaimed chef Will Meyrick of award-winning Sarong and Mamasan restaurants and the creators of LOEWY and UNION.
Chef Will Meyrick
Will Meyrick began creating dining sensations in Sydney, where his Asian-inspired cooking fired up a stir at Longrain and Jimmy Liks, restaurants which redefined modern Thai and Asian dining in Australia. After exploring the culinary landscape of Bali, Thailand and Hongkong, he chose to settle in Bali and subsequently established two extremely popular and critically acclaimed restaurants: Sarong and Mamasan.
With his diligent passion to discover authentic tastes, Will Meyrick takes on culinary journeys where he finds his consummate muse -- dishes of the locals, where kitchen secrets have been passed down for generations. E&O's menu is a result of Will Meyrick's journeys and travels, as well as his vision and interpretation of what constitutes honest Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.
Cocktail & Wine
At the bar, our award-winning team of mixologists have created Asian-inspired cocktails centered around fresh tropical fruits and local ingredients such as pomelo, ginger chilies, nut tinctures and lemon grass. All of the cocktails are designed to pair well with the food. For those who are after more conventional tipples, properly made classic cocktails are available, as well as one of Jakarta's largest selections of spirits and liquors.
We are firm believers that if one chooses carefully, Asian food goes very well with wine. So at E&O, we have assembled an extensive but focused wine list to compliment Will Meyrick's fiery Asian dishes. The list consists of aromatic whites, sparkling, champagnes, while red wines are dominated by Pinot Noir and Shiraz varietals. An experienced sommelier will always be on hand to assist guests in finding the perfect wine to go with the food.
Design and Interior
Designed by the same team who created Loewy and Union, E&O's interior combines both classic and modern design elements, giving an overall feel of refinement and timelessness. The space features a semi open kitchen, a long marble bar, dark hardwood flooring, pressed tin ceiling, custom-made Thonet chairs, and large steel-framed windows looking out to the greenery outside. The bright and airy space resembles a contemporary Asian eating hall, but without the kitschy ethnic details usually found in a typical Asian restaurant.
E&O is built by the energy and creativity of passionate and dedicated individuals, driven by a shared purpose to create a new standard in Asian dining. That is, simply put, to provide guests with the fundamentals of a great restaurant experience: superb produce, precise and sympathetic cooking, well crafted cocktails, a perfect wine list, and of course proper hospitality.
We look forward to welcoming you at E&O!
