Sometimes “me time” shouldn’t mean binging on Netflix and takeout in your jammies. And while there are restaurants that give solo diners second-rate treatment, the restaurants on this list know how to treat number one. From warm bowls of ramen and chicken pesto sandwich to healthy vegan breakfast and smoothie bowls, there’s something to fit everyone’s taste.
When it comes to dining solo in Kuala Lumpur, here are some of our favourite spots to people-watch, tuck into a book, or just enjoy a meal alone.

Kagura in Lot 10 offers a charming little place with a large range of ramen to choose from and doesn't make you feel awkward about dining alone. Because of the limited space, most tables are arranged for two, allowing you to pick your own corner and slurp your ramen alone before returning to the office for your next meeting.

Bray Bakery's sourdough sandwiches and coffee make this new cafe, just five minutes from KLCC, a promising spot to watch. Bray may be in the centre of a brutal metropolis, but its offerings feel like they've come straight from the heart of a tight-knit neighbourhood. Take a seat by the coffee bar and enjoy your sandwich and coffee and maybe have little a chat with their friendly barista.

This hidden cafe has been in the business for more than 10 years serving the Damai quiet neighborhood. A seated lunch in cool comfort, a relaxed air-conditioned dining room, or a stool at the bar offer a variety of leisurely spaces for a quick cup of coffee and chat with a barista, a seated lunch in cool comfort, or an unhurried afternoon to get some reading in with a featured latte.

A place where you can get quality food and coffee by yourself before doing your grocery run at Jaya Grocer. There’s a whole lot of choice of pasta and breakfast food to choose from. Great place for people watching.
