Best award winning restaurants in Kuala Lumpur found in DoubleTree by Hilton

Ian Barrow, general manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur talks about the dining experience in the hotel and having some of the best restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

He says, “We have a total of five different food and beverage outlets. Our showcase is Makan Kitchen. It is a unique outlet. We have the availability to provide the main Malaysian foods and we provide an interactive kitchen so that the food is prepared and cooked in front of you. We have a total of three main areas: Chinese, Indian and Malay sections all separately and we also bring in some other flavours such as Portuguese flavours and also nyonya cuisine which is synonymous with Malaysia and is a mixture of Chinese and Malay influences.

I think we have a great showcase in Makan Kitchen. On top of that we have Tosca, which is an award winning restaurant by the pool-side. We have Cellar Door where we offer a gastro-pub experience with food and a great range of beers and wines.

We also have The Food Store and Axis Lounge. Thus we offer quite a variety. We have travellers from all over the world come and stay with us, it is really quite a diverse clientele and so I think we offer something for everyone.”

Makan Kitchen was shortlisted in the Best Malay Restaurant category of the Time Out KL Food Awards 2010, 2011 and 2012. The food awards are 100% voted for by the people of KL.
