Best Fine Dining Restaurants in KL

Written by Updated ago

The art of fine dining has always been associated with the rich, elite and powerful crowd in Malaysia but that is slowly changing due to the increase in the number of fine dining restaurants all over Kuala Lumpur.

Food is as universal as music and they speak in the same language, except that we’re using the tongue. We have narrowed down here some of the best fine dining restaurants in Kuala Lumpur worthy of your indulgence.

Rankings of all participants as visible on our listings are solely voted by you, our beloved readers. With that said, we would encourage you to please vote for your preferred participants in order to ensure their rightful positions ranking-wise on our portal. Thank you!

    BaratPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Propped with a sleek and clean look, Barat is a fine dining restaurant that revolves around vegetarian cuisines. But other than the refreshing combination of fine and vegetarian dishes; elements of Mediterranean touches are introduced to the food to further elevate the flavours and the entire experience of dining here. Honed and adept chefs are seen putting scrupulous efforts into presenting the exquisite dishes, which are only the façade of many more refined tastes and textures. Also in the mix is a selection of wine to complement the fine dishes; after all, what better way to spend the evening?

    Tips

    They have a bar on the second floor.

    Things to expect

    A quaint and fine place.

    Marble 8Pork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Anyone familiar with Jalan Binjai will probably notice this building on their way to KLCC due to its sheer size and boxy design alone. Marble 8 is one of those restaurants that prides itself based on their steaks. The Wagyu beef takes centre stage here having flown all the way from Australia and dry-aged in the restaurant for at least a month. But before sinking your teeth into the beef, you might need to warm yourself up with one of their excellent starters, the “rare” Chilled Cauliflower Soup with Sevruga caviar which boasts of a very unique taste not quite found in the menus of other restaurants. When it comes to main dish, the Sirloin Steak should be a crowd favourite with a choice of Himalayan sea salt to really bring out the flavours of the meat. Coupled with side dishes of asparagus and Portobello mushrooms, Marble 8 really lives up to its reputation of being steak experts. In case you’re not a steak fan, the restaurant serves a really good lobster dish too - the sweet Blue Normandy lobster to be exact.
    Tips

    If you have deeper pockets, then come for dinner and party on at the bar; Marble 8 is pretty famous for its nightclub.

    Things to expect

    Pretty high prices. With Wagyu beef, nothing ever comes cheap.

    Best with

    Crepe Suzette with orange and fresh berries.

    Price

    RM30.00 to RM1400.00

    Opus BistroPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Located in the quieter section of Bangsar in Jalan Bangkung, Opus Bistro has attracted a group of loyal customers due to its classic Italian offerings. Their Seafood Antipasti Platter is a winner with perfectly grilled scallops and prawns as well as fresh clams in white sauce and calamari in the Arrabiatta sauce. Iif you think the main dish cannot live up to that appetiser, wait until you have a taste of the Rib Eye Steak with Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce. Sure, things get a little pricey from there but for a fine dining experience, it is expected. As for desserts, order something different such as the Cheese Platter in case you’re a cheese lover or the Chocolate Desire, their signature chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Watch in awe as the hot chocolate lava melts through the cracks and enjoy the explosion in your mouth as the cold ice cream combines with the hot lava and sends you to heaven.
    Tips

    The restaurant is non-halal as they do incorporate some liquor into their dishes, so be warned.

    Things to expect

    Homely, wholesome Italian dining experience.

    Kurata Japanese Fine DiningPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Kurata Japanese Fine Dining is another splendid place to enjoy a series of fine Japanese that is crafted with love and passion. They are incredibly famous for their wide range of sushi and sashimi. On top of that, their bento sets are well worth the money. They were also once famed for offering All-you-can-eat Wagyu Shabu Shabu for only RM120! We really hope that they bring that back, but even if they do not, there are still plenty of other dishes to enjoy. The decor of the place is fairly simple, but it's warm and inviting ambiance truly is quite nice.

    Sabayon at EQ

    The view from this place is breathtaking. Make plans to take lots of photos of KL's skyline. Reserve a table ahead of time as the place can get really crowded.The most famous delicacy here is their Sabayon Du Chalet, which is the dessert that can dance! Why is it called a dancing dessert? The reason lies in the way it is presented. Sabayon Du Chalet is an egg-based cold dessert. The staff will take turns stirring the eggs in front of the customers with music. That's why there is a saying of dancing desserts.

    Tips

    Do make appointment before you go.
