When it comes to steak, size matters. And at Lawry’s The Prime Rib Jakarta, they’ve turned portion perfection into a prime art form. Doesn’t matter if you’re a cautious nibbler, a hearty traditionalist, or someone who believes dinner isn’t complete unless there’s a bone on the plate the size of a canoe paddle, Lawry’s has a cut with your name on it.

As one of the stalwarts of fine dining in Jakarta, Lawry’s delivers more than just premium USDA prime rib, but also a tailored experience, beginning with your appetite. So, let’s break down the portion sizes, what they mean, and who they might be perfect for. Because choosing your prime rib should feel exciting, not intimidating.

1. The Jakarta Cut (170g)

Best for: The light eaters, the lunch crowd, or those saving room for dessert (which, frankly, you should).

At 170 grams, the Jakarta Cut is Lawry’s daintiest offering, but make no mistake, it still packs all the flavour of its brawnier siblings. It’s perfect for those who want the Lawry’s experience without the post-meal meat nap. At IDR 785k, it includes the signature Spinning Bowl Salad, your choice of cart side (creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, or creamy corn), the classic Yorkshire pudding, and that iconic Lawry’s whipped cream horseradish. It’s the gentleman’s handshake of steak portions, refined, well-measured, and utterly satisfying.

2. The Lawry’s Cut (250g)

Best for: The classics lover. Or let’s be honest, most of us.

This is the cut that put Lawry’s on the map: 250 grams of juicy, expertly roasted prime rib. It’s the Goldilocks cut (not too small, not too overwhelming) just right. At IDR 975k, you get the same full ensemble of Lawry’s trimmings, and it’s the ideal portion for a dinner out, business lunch, or celebratory treat where you want to feel indulgent without teetering into food coma territory. According to Lawry’s menu, this remains the most popular for good reason: it’s simply everything a great steak should be.

3. The Diamond Jim Brady Cut (650g, bone-in)

Best for: The unapologetically hungry, the meat connoisseur, the legend-in-the-making.

Named after the famously lavish Gilded Age businessman who never skipped a steak, this 650g bone-in beauty (IDR 1,760k) is not for the faint of heart, or the tight of waistband. With a dramatic presentation and generous marbling, it’s as much a visual statement as it is a feast. Think date night with a competitive eater twist or a birthday celebration where you need your Instagram moment.

4. The Beef Bowl Double Cut (800g, bone-in)

Best for: Champions. Gladiators. Or people who skipped lunch and breakfast.

At a jaw-dropping 800 grams, this cut (IDR 1,960k) shouts decadence at its finest. Imagine all the richness of Lawry’s famous slow-roasted beef, doubled. This is for serious eaters or perhaps to share between two (if you’re the sharing type). Like the other portions, it comes with the whole Lawry’s ensemble, from the pillowy Yorkshire pudding to the perfect au jus and whipped horseradish that cuts through the richness with a divine kick.

Some Friendly Tips for First-Time Diners

Choosing your portion is step one. But to fully enjoy your Lawry’s experience, here are a few parting thoughts:

• Don’t skip the Spinning Bowl Salad. Watching it made tableside is half the fun.
• Pair your steak with a side that complements, not competes. Creamed spinach is a house favourite.
• And remember: even if your eyes are bigger than your stomach, Lawry’s will happily wrap leftovers. (Pro tip: that Yorkshire pudding reheats like a dream.)

Whether you’re celebrating a promotion, hosting a client dinner, or just treating yourself because Tuesday was particularly trying, Lawry’s The Prime Rib Jakarta is a steak-laced sanctuary. With an elegant setting, impeccable service, and booking options for up to 200 guests, it’s also the ideal venue for private events, from birthdays to corporate soirées.

So if you’re wondering which steak size is right for your next night out, may we gently suggest… all of them. Or at least, start small and work your way up over a few glorious visits.

Hungry yet? It’s time to book your seat and let your appetite meet its perfect match, only at Lawry’s.
