About Pickle

Tucked away down a quiet alley off Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Pickle Dining is a modern gastronomy hideaway for adventurous diners seeking bold, technically refined cuisine in Kuala Lumpur’s heritage core. Named after the ancient art of preservation, Pickle Dining fuses French culinary techniques with sustainable Malaysian ingredients, making it one of the city’s most exciting and thoughtful fine-dining destinations. Under the creative vision of Chef Danial Thorlby, who brings experience from Paris, New York, and Singapore back to KL, Pickle’s menu reinvents familiar flavors through fermentation, fire, and playful presentation. Signature dishes like smoky Boeuf Tournedos topped with seared foie gras, Hokkaido scallop ceviche with zesty coconut nuoc cham, fire-roasted globe artichokes, and the elegantly crafted Tonka Bean Millefeuille and Chemor chocolate mousse reveal a diner-first philosophy that balances innovation with comfort. The dining room feels like an industrial artisan loft—walls lined with jars of fermented vegetables, communal French-carved tables, and an open kitchen where smoky, flamed cooking sets the tone for an immersive tasting experience. With just a handful of tables per seating, the restaurant channelizes intimacy without pretension, ideal for romantic dinners, small-group gatherings, or those celebrating a special night out. Whether you seek standout dishes that linger in your mind, or a stylish dinner experience anchored in heritage and creativity, Pickle Dining is certainly a place worth discovering.
