Last night we checked out the newly opened Bakar Restaurant by the BIG Group in Bangsar. Despite arriving very late in the evening they welcomed us and allowed us to place a quick last order for dinner.
The review we read about Bakar lead us to believe this was an Australian BBQ style place but I would not describe it that way. The menu, though limited, is a modern cuisine with mixed influences across Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, America and Spain.
The food was beautifully plated and there were some good flavours too, just like you’d expect being situated next to their sister restaurant Hit&Mrs. We choose the classic poached egg caesar salad, grilled watermelon and strawberry salad, BBQ squid, baby zucchini and rib eye steak to share.
This was followed by a selection of desserts including grilled pineapple with mint and ice cream, smores (American classic), cookie cooked in a pan (chocolate brownie), and fruit granita.
The interior of the restaurant was quite different to what we expected. Bright and fairly casual with a mix of seating options from around the kitchen counter to high benches. It felt more like an American diner which was quite relaxed.
