[title]Perched on Level 58 of Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur is Horizon Grill, a seafood and grill restaurant that serves impeccably cooked dishes within sleek surrounds. Marble flooring, handsome interiors and a great view add to the ambience, and two individual dining rooms provide private spaces to enjoy any occasion. Dining alfresco offers magnificent front-row views of the Twin Towers and the surrounding city skyline.
The menu at Horizon Grill focuses on fresh seafood and premium steaks, with items including oysters and caviar alongside premium black angus and Kyushu Japanese beef. Add to that top-notch service with attentive staff discreetly attending to your every request, and you have the recipe for a fantastic dining experience.
The chefs at Horizon Grill constantly showcase their skills and technique with well-executed seafood dishes. Start with the Crustacean Bisque served with warm fennel crabmeat gelée and lobster foam. This light broth is full of flavour, yet delicately balanced to ensure that you can taste the richness of the lobster and crab. Pan-Roasted Salmon and Seared Atlantic Cod can be difficult to get just right, but here they’re well cooked with a firm and flaky texture.
Mains include a variety of beef cuts (both dry- and wet-aged) cooked on a Santa Maria Grill, one of the best in the business. Just let the wait staff know of your preferred done-ness, and the chefs will work their magic. The steak is simply seasoned and served without elaborate flourishes, which is exactly how a good cut should be enjoyed.
Every good meal deserves a sweet ending and Horizon’s selection of desserts includes the Red Berries Merveilleux (French meringue and fresh berries with cream), Crispy Cheesecake served with sago pearls and mango ice cream, and Chocolate-Passion Wood, a chocolate-filled treat with chocolate mousse and devil cake, passion fruit gel and vanilla ice cream.
The affordable set lunches and the dinner degustation menu (with optional wine pairing) are updated every couple of months to keep things interesting, and are where the chefs pull out all the stops to create delicious innovative dishes. No matter the menu, diners can always expect the same level of skill in the preparation, cooking and presentation of food by the talented chefs at Horizon Grill.
