Grill & BBQ Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur

There’s no denying the appeal of the flame in cooking. Meat over an open fire has long caused many a carnivore to drool. The sound of the crackle, the browning of the edges, and the aroma of caramelising crust are irresistible for some. If you, too, go weak at the knees over barbecue, this list is for you – grill and barbecue restaurants we visited in Kuala Lumpur in 2022.

  1. Charcoal-grilled? That will surely bring the taste to a whole new level!

  2. My kind of restaurants! That tomahawk steak looks droolworthy!

  3. What a visual treat to eat under the open and airy décor with the radiating ceiling of bamboo around the tree! I am yearning for a steak right about now instead of all the cold winter Italian pasta. 🙂
