Public House has recently opened in The Sphere in the burgeoning Bangsar South precinct. It commands ground floor entrance positioning and it comes with the heritage of other successful Kuala Lumpur restaurants such as Vintry, Stoked, Proof and Grano Pasta. While wine is important, The Public House is more a brasserie than a wine bar. It offers a balanced mix of Western and Asian dishes and is backed by a superb collection of fine wines, beers and luscious cocktails. One of the signature dishes is not to be missed – roast pork with German mustard. This dish has a proven record of accomplishment at Vintry and it was only logical that it should appear on the Public House menu. Several dishes stand out here – the daikon salad (refreshing, crunchy elements and healthy), baby octopus (pan-fried with sesame seeds and plated with orange slices), salmon ceviche (fresh with toasted slices of garlic, lime and chilli) and claypot ‘mouse-tail’ noodles with a raw duck egg. Select wines by the glass, carafe or full bottle with the carafe being a good innovation for the city as it is half a bottle and priced at half the price of a full bottle. Sample some interesting wines such as Angheli a Sicilian blend from the house of Donnafugata or a Merlot from Chateau Ste Michelle in Washington State. T: +603 2785-2990.
