On the waterfront. Good food. Good music. A little expensive for Kuching but definitely worth hanging out for drinks and food.

We chose to dine at the James Brooke Bistro on the last night of our stay in Kuching as we’d read good reviews and it occupied a great location on the waterfront.

We ate twice in the James Brooke Bistro, and were not disappointed. The food was good quality, beer at a sensible price, and the staff very friendly. Both western and Malay food is on the menu, although when we were there most diners were Western tourists.The bonus is the view over the waterfront.

P/S: The beer's cheap... More

Ate here twice and both meals were excellent. Their Laksa dish was quite memorable when you consider it is only a glorified dish of noodles!
