Granary

Kuching


Housed in an old granary that has been renovated with minimalist flair, this breezy restaurant serves up burgers, pizzas and pasta, plus some pricier meat options. Check the specials board and pencil in happy hour (noon to 8pm) for good deals on cocktails, beer and spirits. Brunch (11am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday) is a Kuching institution.
