August is the brainchild of Hans Christian, a skilful chef and Budi Cahyadi, a seasoned hotelier and F&B professional. Debuted in November 2021; the duo chose to name their restaurant August to reflect their goals of it being respected and impressive, as the word august means. Hans and Budi have created a brand-new dining space that is elegant but not intimidating to guest.
August is the winner of American Express One To Watch Award and currently ranked #95 on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023 sponsored by S. Pallegrino & Acqua Panna.
