The remarkable restaurant features ravishing recipes like the Grilled Spanish Octopus (RM138), boasting a tender, full-bodied bite, briny but clean-tasting, free of rubberiness and stringiness, pleasurably plated with garlic potatoes and dashes of extra virgin olive oil and paprika, worthy of a top-tier Catalonian tapas bar.

A contemporary spin on Italian inspirations: Poolside Bistro's Deconstructed Caprese (RM68) is a delightful balance of buttery creaminess and fruity juiciness, bringing together burrata with tomatoes, grapefruit and micro greens dressed in a pesto and balsamic reduction - a wonderfully fresh selection for a wholesome starter.

Poolside Bistro's chefs champion prime produce from Malaysia and abroad, harnessing luscious Sabah lobster for the Lobster Spaghetti (RM188) - the ultimate pasta for crustacean cravings, bursting with succulent, chunky lobster flesh, luxuriously tossed with bisque-like lobster cream sauce, garlic, chillies, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Sink your teeth into Australian Grass-Fed Lamb Rack (RM148) - this mighty platter for red-meat lovers is richly robust with a lip-smacking char - a protein powerhouse balanced with sweet potato fries, roasted vegetables and garlic.

Vegetarians are catered for too, with meat-free pleasures like Pearl Corn Risotto (RM88), its savoury creaminess, uplifted by the sweetness of the corn, is paired with sautéed portobello mushrooms and Parmesan cheese for a triumphant trattoria-style treat.

Roasted Spiced Seaweed-Fed Chicken (RM118) conveys the well-marinated tenderness of a whole sous-vide chicken leg, a deliciously fuss-free dinner with morel jus, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots, and tomatoes.

Baked Miso Cod (RM158) features a princely portion of a flaky cod fillet, impeccably prepared to preserve its fresh, firm texture, complemented with citrusy notes of lemon and fennel, rounded out with duchess potatoes and leek coulis for a Poolside Bistro creation that can proudly be served in a Parisian bistro.

Classic desserts emerge with flair and finesse - we can't go wrong with the White Tiramisu, enhanced with coffee ice cream on the side for an extra kick of caffeine (RM38), and Valrhona Mousse Cake, with premium French chocolate for a decadent depth, brightened with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream (RM38).

The sky's the limit for Poolside Bistro's cocktails and mocktails, some fragrantly infused with a Malaysian twist of pandan, including the Orionist cocktail (RM68; gin with pandan, mint, Minuty rosé wine, calamansi shrub and aquafaba) and the Pandora mocktail (RM32; tropically tantalising with pandan water, coconut, blue lagoon syrup, and lemon).
