Official Malayisa Tourism WebsiteBukit Bintang has plenty of places to eat which cater to a whole range of budgets. You can feast on local favourites that will not hurt your wallet, sample fruits and drinks or dine in high-class restaurants attached to hotels and malls in the area.
The variety of dining opportunities is what adds to the excitement of being in Bukit Bintang. Below are some of the popular areas for dining.
The Bintang Walk is a colourful stretch of street cafes, pubs and restaurants that stretch all the way from
Lot 10 Shopping mall to JW Marriot Hotel. While most of the restaurants are open during the day, at night the walk becomes alive with lights, colours and noise as all the shops and establishments open their doors to the crowd. Most of the restaurants and cafes found here focus on an al-fresco dining concept but possess their own indoor areas.
There's much to eat and drink here; visitors can select fine pastries and bread from bakeries or sip on choice coffee from outlets such as the
Coffee Bean, Dome and Starbucks. The Bintang Walk is also a good place to dine on international cuisine such as Spanish, Mediterranean, Japanese and Italian fare while being entertained by live music from jazz bands and such. Also make sure you visit
Tai Pai Tong, a hawker square located at the start of Bintang Walk serving both local and international food.
