We start off with Peruvian ceviche (RM16), a seafood appetiser with chunks of fresh snapper marinated in freshly squeezed lime juice, topped with sliced red onions, coriander, chilli peppers, and ginger. Delightfully fresh with a citrusy flavour, this pretty dish is divided into four portions each served on white porcelain spoons.

Consisting of four starters, a serving of French fries with honey dip and aioli, The Meat & Wine Co.’s to share mixed platter (RM39.90) is generously topped with Buffalo wings, chicken quesadilla, pineapple-cut calamari, and sweet chicken yakitori.

For mains, we first sample the restaurant’s signature chicken jalapeno (RM30), a spicy and peppery experience thanks to its juicy 24-hour marinated chicken, rosemary potatoes, fresh salad, and chimichurri (a fragrant sauce from Argentina commonly used for grilled meat).

With a portion that can be shared among three people, our favourite dish of the evening is the 550g OP (oven-prepared) beef ribs served with chimichurri sauce, French fries and roast salad. Expertly prepared by Argentinean chef Ramiro Moya, the medium-rare ribs are exceptionally tender in texture while the chimcurri sauce really brings out the beef’s natural flavours.

The restaurant also offers a satisfying variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, ranging from rich red wines to refreshing virgin pina coladas. Ending our evening at deButchery Whisky & Wine Lounge KL on a sweet note, we indulge in the chocolate volcano with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, which is a decadent moist dark chocolate cake with gooey melted chocolate in the centre.

Overall, deButchery Whisky & Wine Lounge KL's casual yet overall classy ambiance makes for a cosy and romantic dinner affair, after-work gatherings, as well as intimate get-togethers over a glass of wine - and meaty steaks of course.
