Pier 12 Seafood Tavern’s inception began with Pampas, a group of restaurants that specialise in mouth-watering steaks. Like most good restaurants, they don’t just do steaks. The brand has a couple of seafood options on the menu, and those offerings became so popular that requests started pouring in for Pampas to open a seafood restaurant. And that’s exactly what they did!
Pier 12 Seafood Tavern opened in August 2015 in Kuala Lumpur’s Old Malaya, amidst a stretch of watering holes and upmarket restaurants. Initially, the restaurant’s directors were worried that it wouldn’t be as warmly received as Pampas, as they were venturing into totally foreign territory.
