Majapahit Lounge

“European tea and tipples meet Javanese predilections”

Stepping into The Dharmawangsa’s Majapahit Lounge feels like entering a time-travel vortex. One can find expressionist paintings pulled from the 20s’ jazz joints hanging over fine china that adorned pre-colonial Javanese palaces, ornate traditional jewellery set in gold frames over jewel-toned bistro sofas, and tiered trays of delicately arranged pastries and finger sandwiches served next to traditional Indonesian snacks sitting atop banana leaves on plates with intricately carved rims. The latter is courtesy of its signature high tea experience, where diners can sample the supple chew of various market-sold traditional Indonesian cakes in between European cheese boards, Opera cake slices, and crumbly scones.

Memasuki Majapahit Lounge di The Dharmawangsa terasa seperti memasuki pusaran perjalanan waktu. Anda dapat menemukan lukisan ekspresionis dari klub jazz tahun 1920-an yang tergantung di atas porselen yang menghiasi istana Jawa pra-kolonial, perhiasan emas tradisional yang dibingkai di atas sofa ala bistro, dan nampan bertingkat berisi kue-kue dan sandwich kecil yang disajikan berdampingan dengan kue basah yang diletakkan di atas piring berukir beralaskan daun pisang. Kombinasi ini dapat dinikmati dengan pengalaman high tea Majapahit Lounge, di mana para pengunjung dapat mencicipi berbagai jajanan pasar Indonesia sambil menikmati keju-keju dari Eropa, potongan kue Opera, dan scone lembut.
