Jakarta’s culinary scene has welcomed back a familiar favourite. After months of anticipation, La Boutique Gourmande at Le Meridien Jakarta has reopened its doors, unveiling a space that feels less like a shop and more like a stage for indulgence.
La Boutique Gourmande has always carried a certain charm. Affectionately known as The Gourmet Shop, it has been the place where pastry lovers return for Mille Feuille with perfect layers, Éclairs finished in glossy detail, and Canelés caramelised to just the right bite. These creations are more than desserts—they are traditions, crafted with precision and artistry. Rooted in the French notion of gourmand, a love of richness and quality, the boutique has upheld this philosophy since its inception. With the reopening, that spirit continues while the space embraces a broader culinary identity, inviting guests to indulge in new ways.
The most exciting change lies in the menu. Alongside its French icons, guests will now find Indonesian favourites and Western comfort dishes—an expansion that reflects Jakarta’s diverse palate. This evolution positions La Boutique Gourmande as a destination for every occasion, whether breakfast, brunch, lunch, or afternoon tea. In each rhythm of the day, the boutique speaks to the city’s appetite for variety and craftsmanship.
Since reopening, La Boutique Gourmande has been buzzing with energy. Guests have returned with enthusiasm, pastry lovers have celebrated the comeback of their favourites, and new visitors have embraced the boutique’s expanded offerings. The excitement shows how deeply the boutique is woven into Jakarta’s culinary life.
General Manager Jennifer Suryadi described the reopening as a milestone in the hotel’s transformation journey, “La Boutique Gourmande is about celebrating quality and creativity. We are delighted to welcome guests back to a refreshed space that offers both beloved classics and new discoveries.” Her words highlight the boutique’s renewed role, combining craftsmanship with a broader culinary vision.
The reopening unfolded as a celebration of flavour and tradition. A welcoming speech set the tone, the symbolic potong tumpeng added a touch of Indonesian heritage, and the afternoon tea created a warm, intimate atmosphere. Together, these moments captured the essence of La Boutique Gourmande’s refreshed identity—where artistry and hospitality come together in a space designed for indulgence.
