The Barn at 1 Mont Kiara: Restaurant Review

Bursting with new eateries that have launched in recent weeks, 1 Mont Kiara is poised to finally become a dining destination for this neighbourhood. Here’s a look at The Barn.

Suitable for Afternoon Meals or Night-time Boozing

The Barn boasts the look of a cool watering hole, with spacious sections suitable for afternoon meals or night-time boozing.

‘Small Plates’

The Barn’s soft-launch specialities comprise ‘small plates’ – essentially tapas that range from beef skewers & mussels with white wine to roast pork ribs & prawn ceviche, costing RM9.90-RM12.90 each.

Room for Improvement

The place has potential & the service team seems well-meaning, but the kitchen needs to step up its game; the complimentary welcome bread emerged well below room temperature …

Quail Eggs

… while the quail eggs with hollandaise sauce (RM9.90 before taxes) seemed to have surfaced straight out of the fridge, completely chilly, with something of a stuck-in-storage flavour …

Crispy Pork Belly

… & the crispy pork belly (RM12.90) proved too lean for our preference, lacking a lovable lusciousness.

The Main Lure is the Wine

For now, the main lure is the wine, which clocks in at about RM14 per enjoyable glass. A cocktail menu is unavailable so far.
