Cork&Screw

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where the Cellar Meets the Kitchen

Cork&Screw occupies a rare position in Jakarta's dining scene: part serious wine shop, part full-service restaurant, all under one roof at some of the city's most central addresses. The Pacific Place location in the SCBD district brings that same concept to South Jakarta, drawing in both weekday professionals and weekend diners looking for something more considered than a standard restaurant experience.

At the heart of Cork&Screw is a cellar holding over 1,000 wine labels, curated by The Union Group's team of sommeliers — a collection that earned the restaurant Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition reserved for lists that offer both depth and genuine breadth across regions and styles.

Chef Fernando Sindu's Menu

The food is the work of Chef Fernando Sindu, whose menu moves comfortably between European and Asian cuisines. That range is intentional: it gives the sommelier team genuine flexibility when pairing bottles, whether a guest is leaning toward a classic European preparation or something rooted closer to home. The result is a table where the wine and the food are genuinely in conversation rather than running parallel to each other.

A Venue for More Than Dinner

Cork&Screw works equally well for a long lunch, a private celebration, or an exploratory evening working through new vintages with guidance from the floor team. The wine pairing format is built into the experience from the start — this is not a restaurant that happens to have a wine list, but one where the list is the point of departure. For anyone serious about Asian and European cuisine alongside serious wine in Jakarta, it remains one of the most compelling addresses in the city.
