Elementary, a British pub experience in the heart of The Exchange,TRX

For mains, Elementary takes classic dishes and elevates them with a contemporary touch. Their Fish and Chips, available with tilapia, seabass, or Scottish cod, are fried in a soda batter, resulting in a crisp, light texture that contrasts beautifully with the succulent fish. Unlike the traditional single fillet, the dish is served in smaller portions, making it easy to share. Perfectly golden chips round out this British staple.

The Truffle Chicken Pie is a decadent delight, with its flaky crust giving way to an aromatic, creamy filling infused with truffle—a true indulgence. For something luxurious yet approachable, the Lobster Roll features fresh, succulent lobster nestled in a soft brioche, creating a dish that’s both simple and elegant.

Meat lovers will appreciate the Chelsea Ribs, where 6-hour braised wagyu ribs fall effortlessly off the bone, perfectly paired with rosemary mash and glazed vegetables. The Holmes’ Angus Rib-Eye, cooked to a flawless medium, offers a flavourful, juicy bite, complemented by roasted potatoes with crispy edges and a soft, fluffy centre.

Elementary’s bar is no less impressive, offering expertly executed classics like gin and tonics, negronis, and martinis. However, it’s the Twisted Creations that steal the spotlight. The Baker Street Sour, a playful take on the whiskey sour, features a float of red wine that creates a “bloodstain” effect. The Elementary Martini pays homage to Holmes himself, with lavender bitters and a lemon peel garnish for an aromatic twist.]

For an interactive treat, try Sherlock’s Smoking Pipe, a mezcal-based cocktail mixed with coffee liqueur and cinnamon and garnished with rosemary to mimic a smoking pipe. Guests are encouraged to smoke the cinnamon stick before sipping, adding a theatrical element to this smoky, intriguing drink. The bartenders are approachable and happy to customise cocktails, ensuring each creation matches your taste.

Save room for dessert because Elementary knows how to finish a meal on a high note. The Sticky Toffee Pudding, moist and perfectly sweetened with finely chopped dates, is a rich yet balanced treat. The Eton Mess, a refreshing mix of fluffy cream, strawberry compote, fresh strawberries, and meringue, is the ideal way to end a hearty meal.

On weekends, Elementary offers a traditional roast that’s hard to resist. Featuring succulent roast beef or chicken with a variety of sides and a tempting dessert, it’s an experience that elevates the classic Sunday tradition. All in all, Elementary successfully brings a slice of Britain to Kuala Lumpur, blending nostalgia with modern culinary flair. Whether you’re in the mood for hearty comfort food, innovative cocktails, or a classic roast, this restaurant pub delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
