Bandung’s dining scene offers plenty of reasons to linger after dark, from its creative cafés to restaurants that make the most of the city’s elevated setting. At Mad Cow Wine & Grill, the experience centers on carefully prepared beef, a considered wine selection and an atmosphere that draws inspiration from another era.

Located on the 17th floor of Pullman Bandung Grand Central, the restaurant brings together New York-style steakhouse dining and a vintage-inspired interior. References to the Moulin Rouge and Bandung’s historic train station inform a design that evokes the character of the 1920s, creating a setting suited to both intimate dinners and evenings with friends.

At the heart of the kitchen is the Josper Basque Grill, a charcoal oven that combines traditional grilling techniques with intense heat. Rambutan wood or apple wood lends a distinctive smoky aroma to the meat, while the kitchen explores different preparations, from char-grilling and slow-cooking to satay-style dishes and cooking over an open flame.

The menu focuses on prime cuts of beef, with signature selections including Maddie’s Surf & Turf, Tomahawk of Australian Ribeye and Porterhouse of Australian Black Angus. Each offers a different way to experience the restaurant’s approach to steak, whether shared across the table or enjoyed as the centerpiece of a leisurely meal.
