Craving something delicious in the Jewel of Kedah, none other than stunning Langkawi? The 99-island archipelago in northwestern Malaysia is home to a host of stellar restaurants, waiting to treat the foodie in you to a finger-licking culinary tour through their assortments of delectable dishes.
Nestled amidst the serenity of the lush rainforest in beautiful Datai, the quaint kampung-style house of The Gulai House affords one of the most exquisite fine-dining experiences in the idyllic archipelago. The eatery's traditional Malay architecture complemented by rustic furnishing and subtle lighting, combined with authentic Malaysian and Indian cuisines, is as immersive as it gets. Let the lovely breeze of the sea through the forest soothe you, be serenaded by the symphonies of the wildlife in the bush and lose yourself in the atmospheric scene as you indulge in a luscious meal.
Langkawi is lapped by a slew of stunning beaches, which draws tourists in droves every year, and the vibrant Yellow Beach Cafe on Cenang Beach lets you treat your senses to a slice of the archipelago's very magnificent seascape. The beachside eatery bathed in yellow, hence "Yellow Beach Cafe", serves an assortment of scrumptious dishes; but seafood is always the highlight of the menu. Make your way to Yellow Beach Cafe and savour a delectable dish with a breathtaking side of sun, sand and sea.
Grab a seat in the indoor pirate-themed eatery or make your way outside to the open-air deck to take in the gorgeous views of the Andaman Sea and the surroundings as you get stuck in a succulent seafood meal. Langkawi Fish Farm Restaurant welcomes you to a seafood experience like no other, where an array of live seafood, such as lobsters, prawns, clams, groupers, mussels, squid and crabs, await your choosing in a massive aquarium and avid fishers can angle their meal fresh out the waters. Immerse yourself in the tranquil overwater dining experience as your taste buds revel in the toothsome relish.
Dine in the lap of luxury by heading over to the ritzy Planter's at The Danna, Langkawi. Old-world colonial charm is baked into the elegant and opulent setting, where fine dining is taken to a whole other level. Indulge in a wide selection of European and Asian dishes and enjoy watching the white-clad chefs craft your meal in the open kitchen.
Lastly, for those with a sweet tooth, make sure to stop at Donuts Terhangat for the best doughnuts in the whole of Langkawi. Grab yourself a hot and creamy doughnut or two and head over to Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa or any other property that calls them the best resort in Langkawi and call it a day.
