Monica’s top picks
BOCADO
“The restaurant brings elevated Mediterranean cuisine to a chic, casual setting. Chef Ignasi Prats, a Barcelona-native, is a master of plating, turning time-honoured tapas into works of art.” bocadokl.com
PLAYTE
“The young team at Playte, led by chef Brendon Chen, offers a well-crafted and compact menu of contemporary cuisine. Guests will appreciate the precision and competence that goes into every dish, as well as prices that don’t leave their wallets empty.” playte.my
BURNT & CO.
“Run by the same team behind Beta and Skillet, Burnt & Co. has an open-flame kitchen surrounded by 13 stools. This makes for front-seat views of the culinary action and a chance to interact with the chefs. Everything on the menu benefits from charcoal or the wood fire, giving smoky notes and an addictive char to the dishes.” artisansplayground.my/burntnco
