The updated lunch menu at Marble 8 does not sacrifice taste for speed

Quick fix

Although it would be wonderful if the working day revolved around a lengthy lunch hour, the movers and shakers of the world might agree that’s not quite the case. Thanks to Marble 8’s lunch menu, gourmands who find themselves pressed for time can sail through for a Grab & Bite lunch (available daily, from RM56) with a view. The steakhouse’s tempting polenta fries with truffle butter comes with chicken financier and sour beetroot pesto, while their steak sandwich – grass-fed Australian tenderloin, served rose-pink on ciabatta next to crispy fries – may well be the best in town.

Those who still fancy a slightly more extended dining experience should opt for the Elite Gourmand Lunch (available from Sunday to Friday, with a choice of three courses at RM78 or four courses at RM118). A range of appetisers, pastas, and main courses – plus a dessert of the day – promise to power you the most demanding of post-lunch meetings. Standout dishes include the burrata cheese with asparagus shavings and roasted Japanese momotaro tomatoes, the pappardelle with mushrooms and capsicum salsa, and the grilled Black Angus fillet with cannellini beans.
