2OX
2OX charges ahead into The Row with an admirable repertoire of classic French fare; Brittany-born chef Thierry Le Baut relies on time-honoured Gallic cooking to bring the tastes & textures of a Parisian bistro to KL. There are precious few eateries in the city for culinary work whose lineage can be traced from Taillevent to Escoffier. Start with rustic duck rillettes & provincial pork pate, constructed with a solid foundation of shipshape produce. 2OX's meaty mains will warm & nourish - we love the stewed tripe, succulent & flavoursome with tomatoes, herbs & spices. If you're hunting for a recipe with a rich depth, the coq au vin should prove a pleasure - this old-fashioned version of the braised chicken workhorse hails from the kitchen of chef Thierry's own mother. But in keeping up with the times, 2OX also boasts its own Josper oven, for hearty-juicy grilled pork ribs & squid with fresh lemons. 56G, The Row, Jalan Doraisamy, Kuala Lumpur. www.two-ox.com Kitchen opens for lunch & dinner daily.
