Changkat Bukit Bintang is a Kuala Lumpur street known for its bars and restaurants. Pinchos Tapas Bar is at number 18, and its record says it has been serving tapas in Kuala Lumpur since 2008.
What Pinchos serves
The record describes traditional Spanish recipes made with imported Spanish ingredients, a large list of Spanish wines and sangria. The menu centres on pinchos and classic tapas for sharing. It does not name individual signature dishes, so we will not guess at them here.
The name points to the format. A pincho (pintxo in Basque) is a small bite, often on a slice of bread and sometimes held with a cocktail stick. Our guide to pintxos vs tapas explains the difference, and our sangria vs tinto de verano post covers what you will be drinking.
