A Latin-Inspired Culinary Escape in the Heart of KL

For a decade, Fuego has set the bar for rooftop dining in Kuala Lumpur. With its breathtaking cityscape views, bold Latin flavours, and a lively atmosphere, this iconic restaurant has become a go-to destination for celebrations, date nights, and unforgettable gatherings. Now, with a refreshed space and an updated menu, Fuego continues to fan the flames of culinary excitement.

Fuego sits high above the city on the 23rd floor of The Troika, an architectural marvel designed by Foster + Partners. The restaurant is part of the Troika Sky Dining collection, known for offering some of the best gastronomic experiences in Kuala Lumpur. Just minutes from the KLCC area, Fuego offers a prime spot for both locals and travelers looking to soak in stunning skyline views while indulging in bold, fire-kissed flavours.

Since opening its doors in May 2014, Fuego has remained a staple in Kuala Lumpur’s dining scene. Over the years, it has built a reputation for its smoky grilled meats, handcrafted cocktails, and electric ambiance. Now, celebrating its 10th anniversary, Fuego has undergone a transformation—both in design and menu—to keep things fresh while staying true to its roots.

The new Fuego channels even more Latin American energy. The space features sculpted cacti, woven textiles, and custom-made tiles that pay homage to the vibrancy of Latin culture. The sandstone walls and striking decor create a warm, inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience.
