Awards were given on April 7, 2025, to the best 20 restaurants and bars in the city, as well as a range of focused awards, the Best-In-Class awards.
Tatler Best of Malaysia was held at St Regis KL, in its grand ballroom which housed over 300 guests from all aspects of the hospitality industry. Bartenders, chefs, sommeliers, restaurateurs, and hoteliers came together for one night only to celebrate Malaysia’s hospitality scene, many of whom travelled long distances from across the country.

Drinks were flowing throughout the night, from craft cocktails and tequila to local Malaysian craft beer and a wine pairing courtesy of our partners from Gin Malaya, Paper Kite, Clase Azul, and Spanish Cellar.
Other esteemed sponsors also include Sime Darby Property and the beautiful venue, St Regis KL. A three-course menu was served courtesy of the hotel before the awards were announced, featuring delectable dishes like a trio of snacks served on a herb garden, duck and foie gras, and beef and asparagus.
