Mesa on 51: Kuala Lumpur’s new rooftop dining gem

Adding a vibrant Spanish flair to Kuala Lumpur’s culinary skyline, The Marini’s Group has unveiled its latest rooftop destination, Mesa on 51, at the Permata Sapura Tower. Situated on Level 51, this high-altitude gem offers an unmatched trifecta of Spanish cuisine, Nikkei-inspired cocktails, and panoramic city views, making it a standout addition to the group’s prestigious portfolio.

Spanish gastronomy and rooftop splendour

Mesa on 51 promises a gastronomic journey that combines bold Spanish flavours with an elevated dining ambiance. The restaurant features both main dining and private rooms, where guests can indulge in a curated menu of tapas, paellas, and premium steaks like the signature hanger and Picaña cuts. Guests can pair their meals with fine cava, sangria, or their drink of choice for a truly immersive experience.

“Mesa on 51 has been designed to provide guests with a multi-sensorial journey that whisks them away from the hustle and bustle of the city below to a rooftop haven with great music, mixology, and Spanish cuisine in the centre of metropolitan KL.” Founder and owner of The Marini’s Group, Cavaliere Modesto Marini, emphasized the venue’s unique concept.

Nikkei lounge and terrace bar

Complementing the dining experience, the Nikkei Lounge offers a chic escape with its rose gold-accented interiors, sweeping views of KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers, and an eclectic menu that merges Spanish and Nikkei influences. Signature ceviche, maki rolls, and tapas pair seamlessly with music spun by international DJs, creating a dynamic yet relaxed vibe.

For those seeking al fresco serenity, the Terrace Bar delivers. Set against the Kuala Lumpur skyline, this space boasts vibrant floral decor and an organic sky garden, offering the perfect spot for crafted cocktails under the stars.

A grand opening night

Mesa on 51’s debut was nothing short of spectacular. Held on 11 November 2024, the event drew prominent guests from the city’s social and business elite. Attendees were treated to flamenco performances, a diverse selection of Spanish and Nikkei dishes, and breathtaking views of the cityscape.

“We believe in constantly pushing boundaries and creating new, exciting dining and entertainment experiences for local and international guests. The breathtaking views from Mesa on 51 encompass four of Kuala Lumpur’s most prominent towers, offering a setting that is both luxurious and unforgettable.” Marini added.

With its sophisticated offerings and unmatched vistas, Mesa on 51 is poised to become Kuala Lumpur’s go-to destination for high-end dining and entertainment.
