Tucked in a corner of Jalan Damansara Endah, Bocado boasts a contemporary decor with large bay windows. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of tapas, paella, meaty mains and fish.
The croquetas are a crispy highlight, while the gambas al ajillo is served in olive oil and dried chilli mixture, perfect for dipping some baguette as well. Another standout dish is the puerros a la Josper, which is smoky and tender with aged cheese sprinkled over it, giving it the right amount of umami.
For mains, do not miss the Paella de Marisco and Costila de Cordero. End your meal with Bocado’s churros, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy light on the inside. They are served with chocolate sauce, pistachio crème anglaise, and berries marmalade—a sweet ending to a satisfying meal.
