Estilo

Came here for Joe’s birthday dinner and instead of having various main courses, we had a few tapas to share and had 2 mains — pasta and paella.
Our favourite of the night would definitely have to be the Paella Negra — Spanish saffron rice simmered in fresh squid ink sauce with squid, claims and alioli. The rice was al dento — perfecto! Squid ink might sound scary but it intensified the flavours of the paella and we could hardly stop eating it.
Estilo has been operating in Publika for quite some time, and the place is always crowded. It would be advisable to call for reservation regardless you are going in a small or big group. Apart from their ala carte menu, they have set lunch options and you can always visit their website to view their dishes.

This is one of my favourite Spanish places in KL. With its colourful décor & comforting ambiance, this place is ideal for a lunch treat, dinner date or just a chill out with drinks session.
The food here is delicious, there is a wide selection of tapas & main-​courses. Their seafood pizza is one of my must-​haves every time I dine in. There is an array of drinks as well, ranging from Sangrias to wines & yummy cocktails.
Estilo is very well worth a visit, be it for a celebration or for dinner and drinks. Not only it is cozy, happening, and fun, the food is delish too.

Spanish food is still a mystery to me, I don’t quite get it. We had our company’s Christmas dinner here last December and it was something new to me. First and foremost this place is more known for their tapas, they don’t have that many choices for the main course. So we decided to order a few tapas to share. Now the tapas costs around RM10 and about per plate so it came as a shock to me when they tapas were served. The portions were not what you’d expect to get for the price you pay, let me put it this way, three pieces of beef balls for RM10 (or above, I can’t quite remember the actual price but it was definitely more than RM10). Don’t get me wrong the tapas although they were pricey, they tasted pretty good. The fried calamari was my favourite. I just wish that the portions were bigger.
So after the first wave of tapas were served, we decided to order a few paellas since we were still hungry. It took a while for the paellas to be served, we waited about 20 — 30 minutes, so I the meantime we ordered some wine and chatted. When the paellas arrive, the chattering stop and we continued to eat. So the paellas was alright nothing to shout about but it was filling. The atmosphere here was pretty chilling actually, it was a nice place to get away from the office and spend some time getting to know my colleagues a little bit better.

I must admit, Estilo’s caught my eye as soon as it opened at Publika as it captures the playful spirit of Spain perfectly. The colourful décor and outdoor seating coupled with the fun vibe always beckons me to come here and have a good meal. The place is usually packed on fridays and weekends so be sure to make reservations or come early to secure a table.
The menu is essentially Spanish but no pork is served which is a bummer for me. I usually go for the tapas and paella as it’s my favourite Spanish dish and portions here are decent. Do also try out their sangria (available in either a glass or jug to share) to complete your spanish dining experience. Food can sometimes be a little slow as the place is filled up so order some drinks and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

There are few places in KL that does Spanish food right. So when Estilo opened, the anticipation was high. After a few visits, we are giving it a nod.
Firstly, Estilo scores major points on the decoration. It’s funky, hoppy with suspended rattan chairs, vivid wall pieces and Middle Eastern glass lamps — yet all done very delicately.
Drinks are straightforward with an extensive wine list. When it comes to food, Estilo soars extremely high. You will find Spanish comfort at the wide-​range of tapas and signatures like paella. Que rico!
