Bijan

Kuala Lumpur


One of KL’s best Malaysian restaurants, Bijan offers skilfully cooked traditional dishes in a sophisticated dining room that spills out into a tropical garden. Must-try dishes include the rendang with duck, masak lemak ikan (fish curry with turmeric) and opor rusuk (beef ribs in a coconut and palm-sugar sauce). The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced products wherever possible.
