MARBLE 8 – MALAYSIA’S NEWEST LUXURY
STEAKHOUSE CONCEPT RESTAURANT, BAR AND LOUNGE

A Luxurious Evening
Invoking the Senses of Sight, Taste and Sound


Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Marble 8 can only be properly defined by the words – exclusive, luxurious, selective and meticulously designed. Acquainting luxury contemporary dining experience with unparalleled views of the city skyline, Marble 8 houses a plush steakhouse, bar and lounge.
M8 Bar, a chic and fabulous space is where the glamorous want to see and be seen. The bar’s futuristic architectural design encompassing floor to ceiling glass walls offers a stunning view of the Petronas Twin Towers. It is the place to spend an evening to remember as soul-moving music from M8’s in-house DJs was heard throughout the night.
Modesto has created a luxurious mix of the eclectic and opulent, subdued and bold, elegant and funky décor, with minimalist neutral colours enlivened with a striking touch of black. Although just making its debut, M8 bar has already attracted A-list celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum.
Marble 8's steakhouse is the finest of its kind in the country with an old-world charm amid a contemporary environment.
The restaurant is a contemporary Australian style steakhouse with lavish décor combined with rich textures and colours adding to the contemporary feel, making it the ideal place to bring your client for a business luncheon, or your date for a romantic dinner.
The steakhouse serves prime cuts of superior quality Wagyu and Angus beef under the "Marble 8 Label" by one of the largest independent suppliers of beef from Australia, which guarantees worldwide exclusivity. The Wagyu cuts, which can be seen in Marble 8's state-of-the-art ageing cellar, go through a tightly controlled dry-ageing process from the moment they arrive in Malaysia. Every cut available at Marble 8 has been handpicked by Modesto specifically based on his requirements of the Marble 8 cut, which is also Halal certified.
One unique characteristic of the cuts in Marble 8 are that each exact cut dry-aged in Malaysia is delivered with their bones still attached. This "bone-in meat" method improves the flavours and aroma of the beef while they are dry-aged for around three to four weeks. For such high-quality beef, Marble 8 spared no expense where the grill is concerned. Two grills are used to ensure that the beef are grilled with precision and consistency.
Marble 8 also houses a plush lounge upstairs called the Privé, a premium cigar and single malt lounge. It is set to host the country’s elite, serving fine wines, single malt whiskies and cigars. Adorned with rich brown leather seating, oak wood panelling and vaulted decorative ceiling, this is truly the place for business discussions, as well as the perfect venue for entertaining discerning business partners.

ABOUT MARBLE 8
Tucked in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur, Marble 8 is no secret to those who appreciate the finer things in life. A modern Australian style steakhouse with lavish décor combined with rich textures and colours adding to the contemporary feel, Marble 8 is the ideal place to bring clients for a business luncheon, or dates for a romantic dinner. A variety of beef types and cuts are available to allow diners to enjoy only the best quality beef selection possible, enhanced further by an extensive range of great wines and an unwavering commitment to service excellence. Marble 8’s beef is chosen exclusively by their chefs and flown in from Australia, by the largest privately owned vertically integrated beef business in the world. Every cut on the menu in our ageing room is hand selected daily by our butcher and grilled to perfection on our specially imported broilers, the first steakhouse in Malaysia to use such broilers. This unique grill uses intense infrared energy that penetrates deeply into the premium meat searing the surface while retaining their juices, flavour and tenderness with minimum shrinkage.
