Familiar, but forward: Lobo & Juno offers globe-trotting, East-meets-West nouvelle cuisine that blends tradition with modernity (JP/Felix Martua) (JP/Felix Martua)

oasting sumptuous interiors and world-encompassing cuisine, The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Mega Kuningan's latest bar-and-bistro aims to allure the young and the restless.
To get with the changing times, the change itself would be of the essence. This pearl of wisdom is practically what The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Mega Kuningan had in mind when it decided to transform its well-known Lobo Italian Bistro into a completely distinctive culinary oasis called Lobo & Juno. It has been palpable that Jakarta's most dedicated epicures are no longer restricted to the city's upper crust and beau monde. Nowadays, even the city's bevy of youths and episodic tastemakers have grown interested in what Jakarta's glitziest bistros have to offer.
One thing is for sure, though: Lobo & Juno, located on the hotel's grand floor, offers more than just a fancy-looking chandelier and a glass of Merlot.
As the hotel's marketing communications executive, Stella Rizki, told The Jakarta Post on Feb. 21, "One thing that we want to bring out [at Lobo & Juno] is a cozy ambiance, something warm and homier, and, at the same time, there's a touch of luxury."
Eric Adinata, serving as the hotel's complex director of digital marketing, chimed in as well: "Lobo & Juno is not just another place with luxury-hotel-and-fine-dining ambiance. We want it to be more comfortable and more carefree for the market as well. Something refreshing."
Modern overhaul
After the 2022 FIFA World Cup ended in December of last year, The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Mega Kuningan decided to rebrand its then-Lobo Italian Bistro as an entirely different dining establishment. The key players behind such an overhaul figured that, as the city was about to enter the new year and the new era, it was about time for them to come up with something that would keep abreast of the times.
