To be honest, the cocktails are good and the seafood paella with black rice is really tasty and I highly recommend this if you plan to visit Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar. We had a great family brunch at Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar Spanish Restaurant Mount Kiara and that is a great way to spend quality times together with good food and drinks.
Lacon Gallego de Cochinillo (RM 56) Get this delicious Galician style roast Spanish sucking pig leg with potato cachelo. With the look of it, it may not look appetizing but after the first bite you’ll surely in love with it.
Baby Lobster RM25 Absolutely fresh and succulent, the briny sweetness of the lobster meat was further enhanced with a subtle earthy olive paste and tangy tomato. So delish, this baby lobster is to die for!
I don’t know what Cafe Deli by El Meson is trying to be. They have super casual pork noodles on their menu right next to RM450 steaks, but this place is way too trashy to justify that steak price. Nobody is going to order a steak that expensive in a mall restaurant where you’re sitting on plebeian rattan furniture next to an escalator. A couple of weeks after our visit, I brought up this place to Mark and he had completely forgotten that we had eaten here. The food was okay in the moment, but obviously unmemorable. We don’t intend to ever return to this scammy, self-important restaurant.

Reasons to have brunch in Mont Kiara at Fat Olive Food Garage: rustic chic setting; a small but generously portioned brunch menu; paella; tapas – must try their new goat cheese walnut lollipops; start with Cava Sangria and continue with El Coto de Imaz Reserva, Tempranillo.
Reasons to visit Fat Olive Food Garage: The Mixed Tapas Platter is an experience all on its own and represents the character of the restaurant; The Iberico Pork Burger is the best burger I’ve eaten in KL (I’m going back to try the beef burger next); generous portions; great flavors; reasonable prices; agreeable indoor/ outdoor setting.
Reasons to visit La Tasca Del Mercat: a pleasant spot for breakfast in Mont Kiara; Rich loves the Cubanito and Catalan Breakfast, my top pick is the Shakshuka and hubby loved the Eggs Benedict; pick up your favourite items from the deli before you go.
