Discover the rich culinary heritage that combines traditional flavors with contemporary dining in a vibrant and inviting atmosphere

Nestled in the vibrant Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) of Jakarta, Lapo Porsea has emerged as a premier dining destination that celebrates the authentic flavors of Batak Toba. Officially inaugurated on October 17, 2024, by Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, this restaurant seamlessly blends traditional culinary heritage with a modern fine dining experience.

Traditionally known as a simple roadside eatery, a lapo, or lapo tuak, has transformed into a sophisticated restaurant showcasing a variety of Batak specialties. With its elegant and contemporary atmosphere, Lapo Porsea incorporates the finest ingredients from North Sumatra and premium protein options to craft an enticing menu. Each dish is carefully prepared by a culinary team committed to innovation and authenticity.

The signature menu at Lapo Porsea features roasted pork, highlighting the best cuts of meat, including the renowned Iberico pork. One of the restaurant’s key attractions is the diverse range of Batak dishes that are seldom found in other Jakarta eateries, such as Tanggo-Tanggo and Manuk Napinadar, which have gained popularity among food lovers. Lapo Porsea takes pride in presenting these traditional dishes in unique ways, ensuring that each bite offers a rich exploration of flavors. Additional standout menu items include fish arsik, dali ni horbo (buffalo meat soup), and ombus-ombus cake. To elevate the dining experience, the restaurant serves sambal in two distinct varieties, enhancing the flavor profiles of each dish. Traditional Batak beverages, such as Badak— a carbonated drink from North Sumatra— and Naraja, made from Dutch eggplant, are also offered to complement the culinary experience.

Lapo Porsea places a strong emphasis on menu innovation. Beyond Batak specialties, the restaurant features other premium protein options, including Lake Toba tilapia, Miyazaki A5 beef, and Canadian lobster. This diverse approach is designed to attract a wider audience and provide a captivating dining experience.

The interior design of Lapo Porsea creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. The use of wood and stone materials, along with iconic deep red accents, pays homage to Batak cultural heritage. The restaurant’s walls are adorned with traditional Batak textiles, known as ulos, which enhance the interior’s beauty while infusing it with cultural significance. A piano placed on stage further enriches the ambiance, showcasing Batak musical traditions.

Every weekend, Lapo Porsea hosts live musical entertainment, fostering a lively and communal dining experience. By combining culinary delights with cultural and entertainment elements, Lapo Porsea offers more than just a meal; it provides a heartfelt cultural journey.

For food enthusiasts seeking a fresh and unique dining experience, Lapo Porsea is an ideal choice. With its quality dishes, inviting ambiance, and rich cultural atmosphere, this restaurant is set to become one of Jakarta's favorite culinary destinations.
