A good meal is like a journey. While dining in Langkawi you will experience elements of intrigue, excitement and pleasure. Your palate will be delighted with exotic flavours and the beauty of your surroundings will stimulate all your senses. The cuisine is a combination of regional and western, but as Thailand is so close, the mixture of the Malay and Thai cultures also results in a unique gastronomic experience.
Kuah
Kuah has grown into a cosmopolitan centre and it boasts many interesting restaurants. Aquarium Seafood Garden offers delicious Thai and Chinese cuisine at affordable prices. If you are into fresh seafood, you can make your own selection at the huge tank filled with fish, prawns and other marine delights. Seri Indah Café is another popular spot that has an original and personal approach to its menu and offers excellent Chinese and Western cuisine. This café has been around for quite some time and is popular with locals and visitors. Amidst the sizzle and steam of woks and the resulting aromas, patrons at Phoenix Restaurant will be delighted at the combination of excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere. If you are looking for live entertainment, stop by Woodpeckers Lounge where the band plays great music. The beverage list is quite impressive and there is an extensive choice of tropical cocktails, wine and beer.
Pantai Tengah
A growing diversity of cuisines can be found along Pantai Tengah—a place famous for its first class accommodation and excellent restaurants. The beachfront Coco Beach Seafood Paradise has a romantic tropical ambience, especially at sunset. Graceful, traditional Malay dance and music can be enjoyed here occasionally. The Safari Restaurant & Bar has been designed with mostly natural materials. Live bands will entertain you or you can try something different by learning how to make batik at their Safari Batik Gallery. Overlooking the marina, Boardwalk Café never fails to pull in the crowd. Not only does it offer breathtaking views, but also an eclectically influenced cuisine with a Mediterranean slant.
Cactus Restaurant & Bar offers great music and traditional Asian flavours against a backdrop of impressive furniture, hand made from mangrove trunks. For a more homely feel, the friendly owners of Sheela’s Restaurant & Café will make you welcome. There is a splendid landscape garden and alfresco dining here is highly recommended. The dish to try? The famous home-made pizza cannot be beaten.
Palo Palo, the friendly beach bar, is a must for sunset lovers. Breathtaking views are right at the doorstep. It only serves drinks but you can have a barbecue and bonfire on request. If you are looking for something a little different, Urwald Café is tucked away in the woods and is a really cool hangout on lazy evenings. Offering an enormous menu with something for everyone, splendid live music and occasional cultural shows, there is never a dull moment here. Mario’s is recommended for Italian cuisine. Artistry, top class hospitality and outstanding food make a remarkable combination.
As soon as the sun sets, Sunset Karaoke & Discotheque comes alive. This nightspot features a spacious dance floor, karaoke boxes for shy singers and great music. If you are looking for a wilder evening Coco Jam Fun Pub will keep you swaying to the infectious live tunes. Considered to be the best entertainment spot on the island, this place is packed every night with regulars and visitors. With its beachside location, one can go for romantic walks in the moonlight for a breather.
Padang Matsirat
Dining at sea does not mean you have to be on an ocean liner. The floating restaurant, Kelong Seri Melayu, will give you a dining experience you will never forget. Black Henry Discotheque gives you the opportunity to kick off your shoes and dance the night away.
Pantai Cenang
The Spice Market, an Asian and Western cuisine outlet, offers a staggering number of goodies that are meticulously executed and are masterpieces of clever design. Champor Champor, voted as one of Malaysia’s best restaurants some time ago, offers a romantic ambience. If you have spicy in mind, try Sun Bay Restaurant. Serving rich and exquisite Thai fare fit for kings, a must try here is the steamboat prepared from the freshest ingredients. Bon Ton at the Beach is the place to go for Nyonya and Western fare that is refreshingly imaginative yet uncompromising in taste. Strategically located by the beach, the Music Room Discotheque changes its decor every month to offer customers a different experience each time they visit. This is a great drinking spot. For a more laid back atmosphere, try the Reggae Bar where patrons can cool off and enjoy the great reggae beat.
Jalan Teluk Datai
The Pavilion offers fine Thai cuisine. As it is situated opposite a rainforest, you can enjoy the sounds of nature in the background as you eat. If buffet style is your thing, The Dining Room offers a great variety of food for both lunch and dinner.
Air Hangat
The menu at The Saffron is original and personal with a Mediterranean style of cooking combined with a hint of Asian flavours. The seafood is particularly good. Serving sumptuous international cuisine, bistro-style The Sands features an impressive wine list and is adorned with local artifacts. Nestled on a quieter stretch, Rhu Fine Dining is creating a buzz in the food scene. With its intimate atmosphere, this establishment offers a touch of class and a tinge of romance as well as excellent food.
Burau Bay
Exotic, exciting and vibrant is what you will feel at the Burau Beat Pub. Featuring hot music, the live band will entertain you till the wee hours of the morning. But if you are looking for something a little more laid back, hop over to to Sunken Pool Bar and Beach Bar and simply sink into one of the sofas and relax. There is no loud music here—just the marvellous sounds of Mother Nature to soothe your soul.
