About

Bait Bangsar is a celebrated seafood and oyster bar located on Jalan Telawi 3, one of Bangsar’s most dynamic dining streets. The restaurant emerged in 2012 and quickly became known as one of Kuala Lumpur’s original seafood destinations with a focus on fresh, meticulously sourced ingredients and Mediterranean-leaning flavours.


The menu centres on exceptionally fresh seafood prepared in ways that highlight natural taste and texture. Bait was among the first in KL to feature fresh oysters from premium regions such as Ireland and the UK, drawing diners who appreciate plump raw oysters and carefully paired wines. Beyond oysters, the restaurant offers a curated selection of small plates and mains featuring seafood such as blue cod fish and Australian mulloway, clams, mussels, squid, prawns and seafood-rich pasta dishes. The grilled and pan-fried seafood selections consistently emphasise light yet bold seasoning that lets the ocean flavours shine.

Signature dishes spotlight chef-driven finesse and seasonal quality. Highlights often include house-made pasta like aglio olio with abundant yabbies and clams, beer battered fish and chips with sweet potato fries, and seafood-forward risottos or jambalaya that are hearty and shareable. Desserts such as panna cotta and rum baba balance richness and sweetness, while an approachable wine list and crafted cocktails round out the experience.

The ambience at Bait blends smart-casual dining with a relaxed bar vibe. Interiors are understated yet comfortable, featuring wooden accents and dim lighting that suit both midday meals and longer dinners with drinks. Outdoor seating and an oyster bar add to its appeal for social dining and evening gatherings. The wines and cocktails are selected to complement the seafood focus, reinforcing the restaurant’s identity as both a bistro and a bar destination.

Overall, Bait appeals to diners who want reliably fresh seafood with well-balanced flavours and generous portions, making it a go-to for date nights, casual dinners with friends, or special occasions in Bangsar.
