Beast by The BIG Group, Bangsar Shopping Centre
Reasons to visit Beast by The BIG Group: gorgeous and comfortable setting; sticky date pudding; we love the prawn cocktail, especially the budu mayo; beetroot & raspberry salad; amaebi & bresaola toast; great steak expertly prepared; value-for-money wine by the bottle.
Reasons to visit Park Grill: wonderful and friendly service; deliciously charred meats & seafood from the Josper oven; the melt-in-your-mouth moist on the inside, yet caramelised crunchy delicious on the outside Pain Perdu; and the amazing free-flow wine & cocktail deal (RM 120) on Fridays and Saturdays!
Reasons to visit Pyro Damansara Kim: outstanding and interesting menu with well-balanced vegetarian and protein options; clever use of quality ingredients; an exciting and engaging experience in a subtle-but-stylish set-up with a front-row seat to the action; great for date nights and small groups; friendly and attentive service, with a warm welcome and the personal touch from the head chef; VIP rooms for 4 or 6 pax (can be combined into 1 for 10).

Reasons to visit Horizon Grill: Great for meetings and special occasions, with a handful of private rooms that can be reserved and customised to suit your needs; Rubia Gallega; Risotto Bouillabaisse; the small yet salient Brussel Sprouts with Smoked Duck; we focused more on the food than the atmosphere for this review, but there is no doubt that the Horizon Grill is near the top of the list for “Places to See Fireworks on New Year’s Eve” due to its unobstructed view of the city.
