La Casa
A melting pot of various cuisines, La Casa has something for everyone. Craving for Italian specialties or inviting American breakfasts? La Casa has got your back. Sink your teeth into their Truffle Scrambled Eggs with Waffles for a hearty brunch or their house specialty pizza generously topped with melted mozzarella, turkey bacon, mushrooms and pesto sauce.

Pet owners, don’t you just hate it when you’re dining out and you have to leave your furry darling behind? Having to gaze at their longing, begging eyes screaming “Take me with you!” as you slowly shut the door is truly an agony.

Well, good news – the heart-wrenching separation is over! KL houses an abundance of restaurants that are more than willing to let you and your pets into their establishment. However, for some of the stricter restaurants, only the al fresco dining area is open to you and your pet. But, rest assured that the more lenient ones allow both of you to relish in the air-conditioned indoor area. Either way, at least you won’t be abandoning your beloved angel at home.

Whether your tastebuds are wailing for Italian dishes or Chinese specialities, we’ve got you covered with the range of restaurants we’ve picked out. So, get the leashes out and embark on your food adventure with your furry companion today!
