Pyro is the newish kid on the block in Damansara Kim, Petaling Jaya, and as its name suggests, fire takes centre stage at this restaurant.
Helmed by chef Louis with his experience from Burnt Ends in Singapore, Pyro offers a rather unique menu with dishes crafted using high heat mangrove wood fire.
The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated with minimal fuss.
A big and long bar counter alongside the open kitchen provides diners a view of how the food is being prepared.
There’s also a small private room available if you’d rather sit facing your date.
We started the night with a couple of types of oysters, progressed to prawns, steak tartare and caviar on potato cake – this had an explosion of umami befitting a fine-dining restaurant, flatbread, rich buttery scallops, grilled fish, and of course steak since there was fire to flame up the meat.
The night ended with a simple serving of tiramisu which I can only describe as “proper”, a great ending to a good meal at Pyro.
