The cafes and restaurants offer different cuisines, so over time, you can decide which place is most to your liking. You will also find food stalls selling fresh food and authentic Malaysian spices.
Jalan Telawi Street
Jalan Telawi Street is where you will find most cafes in Bangsar. Some of the popular dining places in Jalan Telawi include Antipodean Bangsar (popular for its brunch dishes), VCR, Nutmeg, Swol, and Hani Eatery.
Undoubtedly, you will find what to eat in Bangsar when you go to Jalan Telawi Street. The cafes are many, and some are more popular than others. However, each cafe is carefully crafted, from the ambiance to the dishes they offer, to cater to people with a specific preference.
If the first cafe you walk into is not to your liking, or if it is peak hours (when service is slower or space is not readily available), you only need to walk a short distance to the next cafe Bangsar.
Jalan Kerinchi
If you are looking for a cafe in Bangsar South, you have plenty to choose from along Jalan Kerinchi. The Farm is one of the popular cafes in Bangsar, especially for families with young children.
The Farm offers fresh, organic food, which they grow to control what goes into the food they serve. They also liaise with other local farmers and food vendors. Some foods are seasonal, so it is best to check for availability. The downside is it doesn’t open early. However, it makes up for it by opening late, and even better, also serving brunch until 3 p.m. so you can enjoy the brunch menu not having to wake up too early!
Jalan Bangkung
Unlike Jelawi where cafes are mostly crowded, and almost always busy, the restaurants in Jalan Bankung is more laid back. So, if you are in the mood for a quiet environment, visit cafe Bangsar along Jalan Bangkung.
Some of the popular places when looking for what to eat in Jalan Bangkung include The Plump, Cava, Opus Bistro, and Lucky Bo. The stark difference between these restaurants and those along Jalan Telawi is that most open their doors at midday or even later. The kitchen also closes at some point, before opening again to cater to those coming in for dinner.
So, before heading to Jalan Bangkung, it is best to check when the restaurant opens, and if there are periods during the day when food is not available. Fortunately, some cafes, like Pinch Bistro, opens at 9 a.m. and close at 12 a.m. without breaks.
This guide makes it easier for you to find where to eat in Bangsar. Each cafe is unique, so you will have to do some exploring before you find one that meets your preferences.
