Discover the vibrance of Las Meninas, located in The Exchange TRX
Ordinary dining experiences are a thing of the past at Las Meninas. Nestled in The Exchange TRX, Las Meninas is driven by Spanish cuisine, bringing the culinary culture of Spain to the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Reminiscent of Barcelona’s vibrant tapas bars, the restaurant draws its name from the venerated Diego Velázquez's painting.
This is evident as soon as you step into the restaurant and are greeted with bold red hues alongside mahogany accents, tied together by the bar’s centrepiece—a mural of two flamenco dancers that captures the inherent passion of Spanish culture. Far more than a dining establishment, every facet of Las Meninas is bound to immerse diners in the essence of Spain.
