Best Fine Dining in Kuching

In September 2000, Carvery Restaurant was the first place in Sarawak that opened its door to its customers with the Brazilian 'churrascaria' concept. The idea is where servers serve from table to table with skewers of specially seasoned and slow-roasted meats prepared according to the Brazilian barbecue 'churrasco' method. Using savoir-faire showmanship, the staffs slice these gastronomies tableside, making a sophisticated and munificent feast. What’s even more interesting? At only RM88, you can eat all the meat that you can till full. For a fine dining place, that price is definitely a value for money.

Being the first classy restaurant that offers Dayak delicacies as true cuisine, the.Dyak is run by a chef that was trained with the classic Western gastronomy but uses traditional recipes from Iban (a few are Kelabit, Kayan or Bidayuh), and fresh, organic jungle ingredients to produce delectable dishes contrasting everything you’ve ever tried. The interior is filled with rare native artefacts and the menu urges patrons to have a walk around to view them. If you are interested, the restaurant can happily make you vegetarian dishes, made without lard. The staffs are also always ready to describe the origin of each dish. A meal at the.Dyak (the colonial-era spelling of the word) is not to be missed.

Commonly praised as one of the best fine dining in Kuching, if not the country, Raintree Restaurant lives up to the hype. Chef de Cuisine, Virginia Kedit provides a well-orchestrated ride that plays with textures and temperatures while staying grounded in season, taste and nearly perfect performance. The menu is regularly shifting, but recent hits have included buttered rice, baked chicken with olives and potato, Lasagna, Mediterranean lamb tagine, buttered prawns and pan seared fish with tomato coulis. Iconic dishes include the roasted beef with roasted root vegetables and baked potato. But you never know what dish will steal the show when you’re in the audience.

Zinc Restaurant and Bar is an "urbane" restaurant indeed. The interior dining space is precisely and exceptionally modified from an old shop house, while alfresco dining area is a constructed infill space layered with local wood and covered over with purple wreath creeper vines. The Mediterranean themed menu is brilliant as is though the owners are to be applauded for persistently improving or expanding choices. Drinking a chilled Guinness draft or sipping a glass of beautiful red wine with live music background (on certain days), and soaking in the vibrancy of this place is mesmerising.

The Junk is not your typical fine dining restaurant. It is chilled and laid back but nothing beats their delightful cuisine that can cost you quite a lot. The setting is all about Old World meets Art Deco meets Alice in Wonderland. It claims a exceptional charisma with its East-West menu and collection of antiques, treasures and well, junk. You might be a bit disappointed about the lack of starched linen, polished silverware and such like, however with the delish offerings on the menu you just will let that little flaw go. From their signature asparagus prawns, to the fusion pizza, everything served here will simply satisfy you. 

Located at the heart of the city, Lyn’s Thandoori Restaurant is a fine dining place offering delicious Northern Indian food. The North Indian eatery is one of Kuching’s precious gem since 1994 that serves a vast selection of menu starring tandoori chicken as well as wonderful mutton, fish and veggie dishes that can go up to almost 50 choices, including 22 types of paneer, all made with top-quality ingredients. Though the place is rather simple for a fine dining experience, the food really make it up for it.
