The legendary Smith & Wollensky has expanded its global footprint with its first Malaysian outpost, introducing its signature blend of premium steaks, classic hospitality and contemporary dining to the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Located within Suria KLCC, the restaurant brings the spirit of the original New York steakhouse to Southeast Asia while incorporating subtle local touches that reflect Malaysia’s cultural identity.

Founded in New York City in 1977, Smith & Wollensky has long been recognised for its dedication to prime-quality beef, classic American steakhouse traditions and a strong emphasis on service. The Kuala Lumpur restaurant continues this legacy through carefully sourced ingredients, signature grilling techniques and a dining environment designed for both everyday occasions and celebratory gatherings.

Spaces & Steaks

Spanning multiple dining areas with a capacity of over 300 guests, the space offers all-day dining alongside private rooms and bar seating. The interior combines timeless steakhouse aesthetics with Malaysian-inspired details, including subtle references to local materials and patterns that add warmth and regional character.

A defining feature of the restaurant is its use of Halal-certified meat, ensuring accessibility while maintaining the brand’s commitment to quality. The menu highlights premium cuts alongside seafood selections and classic steakhouse sides, supported by a curated beverage programme led by experienced sommeliers and mixologists.

Wine plays a central role in the experience, with an extensive cellar featuring labels from leading regions including Napa Valley. Regular wine pairing events further enhance the restaurant’s positioning as a destination for both casual diners and enthusiasts seeking deeper exploration of flavour.

Social Place

Beyond dining, the restaurant aims to function as a creative and collaborative platform through partnerships with organisations such as Universal Music Malaysia, Taylor’s University and Sunway University, supporting emerging talent across hospitality, culinary arts and entertainment.

With its blend of heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary relevance, Smith & Wollensky Kuala Lumpur represents more than a traditional steakhouse. It introduces a refined yet approachable dining destination where American steakhouse culture meets local influence—bringing a globally recognised culinary experience into Malaysia’s evolving restaurant landscape.
