Malt Dining

My very first visit to Malt Dining happened many years ago for a friend’s birthday dinner but I finally got the chance to come back again for a great meal last night! We ordered a good spread off the menu to share around the table. Each main dish had such a distinguishable range of flavours that complimented the ingredients so well! Loved everything we tasted : the tangy, the sweet, the charcoal burn, everything! Kudos to the Chef for creating and serving an amazing palette on a plate.

I was really amazed by how delicious the food in here was.My most favorite was the wagyu beef brisket. It was cooked perfectly and the flavor was just magical in my mouth 👌🏻.I wish the serving could’ve been more. The side dishes were also delicious and well thought of. The salad and the potato sauce was really yum. To think that they’re just sides. I just didn’t enjoy the mango sorbet dessert. I think it’s an acquired taste. The mango flavor was yum but then when you mix it, i just didn’t enjoy the spicy aftertaste and the black pudding mixture. The serving was just slow on that night because there’s not much staff on that weekday and there were a lot of us but the food made up for it

Outstanding food. Hands down the best food I have eaten in fine dining. We had the set menu and swapped out the quail for the pork belly and paid a little more for it - worth every cent. The flavours were devine and every dish was completely different from the last. We absolutely loved, what we referred to as "a sneaky cream dollop" on most plates. I have no idea what each dollop was but man was it a show stopper. The coconut labneh? Wow!!!

Awesome experience for lunch today. A huge selection of drinks including craft beers, wines and of course whiskey. My wife and I tried 4 different dishes on the menu and all were impeccable. Beautifully presented and balanced! A big tick to the Chefs! Our waiter was also fantastic even though by himself nothing was a bother and service was excellent!

Look…..this place has the potential and looks!!!! Service not up to scratch for the stars or expectation……no refills of water or hand towels in bathroom!! Warm starter of set menu in terms of sparking rosè…..had to ask three times in relation to it being “warm” and ended with ice in the glass!!! Oysters underwhelming in terms of description vs actual……other food good!!!! EDIT: The manager came and spoke with us (I’m assuming he saw this review) before we left the restaurant. He was very professional and empathetic to what had happened during our meal…..and offered to have our drinks taken off the bill for the inconvenience-this was very much appreciated but not expected.

Having been a patron of Malt bar for many years, I finally decided to give the upstairs restaurant a go. Being welcomed by more of the dark stained wood and gentle ambiance of the main bar, along with familiar staff, the restaurant is mmediately identifiable as an extended parts of a whole. It's a comforting, welcoming, joyful fine dining atmosphere and menu. I opted for the 6 course taster menu and it was an absolute delight, as well as fantastic value for money. The knockout dish for me was the wontons, perfectly balanced in flavour and texture, the sauce a revelation of savoury goodness married perfectly with the creaminess of the filling and the crunch of the walnuts. All of the other dishes were wonderful still and a unique experience for each. Would definitely recommend the brownie for dessert to share. The smoky miso caramel was moreish and a great contrast to the sweetness of the rest of the dish. Staff as always are helpful, attentive, and give excellent recommendations. From the kitchen to front of house, it's obvious that everyone knows their current menu back to front. Each dish arrived succulent, crisp, and brimming with fresh, seasonal, and artful flavour, and with such a nice drink selection, go for the prearranged accompaniment wines or select a few whiskys, cocktails, etc from the menu, or just ask for a recommendation. I will absolutely be returning for more. Perfect for indulgence on your own, as a couple, or for a special occasion for a larger group.
