Opeum Bistro, Lloyd's Inn Kuala Lumpur

Opeum Bistro brings a breath of fresh air and equally fresh culinary fare to KL, feeling like a vacation in the city centre, perched on the fifth floor of the latest boutique hotel, Lloyd's Inn.

Now soft-launched, the first Malaysian outpost of Opeum Bistro channels the tropical oasis vibes of Lloyd’s Inn’s earlier locations in Bali and Singapore, with welcoming wood tones and nature-inspired flourishes.

This sunny space for cafe-hoppers serves light, bright treats all day long with splashes of flair, a five-minute drive from The Exchange TRX.

Stop for a simple coffee or stay and relish revitalising recipes like roasted eggplant with arugula and ginger, mushrooms with watercress and soy peanut butter sauce, and chicken yakitori with sesame seeds and red pepper sauce, paired with blueberry almond and dragonfruit smoothies. There’s also a chilled-out, comfy tea room with a modern mood for sipping on osmanthus brews.
