DRIFT DINING & BAR

38 Jalan Bedara, Ground floor, Bidara Condominium, Bukit Bintang TEL: 03 2110 2079 driftdining.com

The buzz is palpable from the moment you step into Drift, one of KL’S few Aussie bars that has stood the test of time. Sandwiched between bustling Changkat Bukit Bintang and Hotel Istana, the blink-and-you-might-miss-it outlet is urban and utilitarian at best. Reflective of how global influences have shaped Australia, Drift’s menu is a heady mix of Mediterranean, European and Asian flavours. Set sail on your journey with the sweet potato gnocchi before tackling the spiced cauliflower with punchy saffron yogurt and rum-soaked raisins. The unbaked cheesecake is heavenly and Drift’s famous Bloody Mary is in a league of its own. Stretch your ringgit with their lunch sets, ladies’ night specials and happy hour deals.
