COPA at 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird serves as a vibrant gateway to the bold, sun-drenched flavours of Latin America. The space is a masterclass in design, blending a lush, plant-filled terrace with a dining room that evokes the effortless cool of Buenos Aires. Led by Chilean Executive Chef Matias Mardones, the kitchen focuses on authenticity, drawing on his extensive experience in world-class steakhouses.
The meal often begins with a signature cocktail, such as the Iguazú, which cleverly incorporates yerba mate, or the mezcal-based Oaxaca. These drinks pair naturally with the restaurant's standout Ceviche Mixto. This dish features a crisp assembly of calamari, barramundi, and prawn tempura, all tied together by a perfectly balanced leche de tigre that avoids being overly sharp.
A highlight of the experience is the tableside guacamole service. Prepared on a dedicated trolley, chefs combine creamy Australian avocados with fresh habanero, coriander, and lime to your preference. For those seeking depth, the smoky chipotle Tabasco is a highly recommended addition.
The heart of the menu revolves around the wood-fired parrilla grill. A signature Chilean speciality, the asado de tira, showcases U.S. prime boneless short ribs that have been aged, brined, and slow-cooked for 48 hours. This tender cut is served alongside roasted pumpkin purée and a bright habanero gel. From traditional empanadas to premium Argentinian beef, each plate reflects a commitment to traditional techniques, making COPA a premier destination for those seeking an elevated yet soul-satisfying culinary adventure in Jakarta.
