LE MERIDIEN KOTA KINABALU UNVEILS ITALIAN RESTAURANT ‘FAVOLA’

Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu is excited to unveil the city’s latest dining destination, Favola Italian Restaurant, which features authentic Italian specialties and signature service.

Calzone Pizza

Located at lobby level beyond the hotel’s Latitude 05 bar, Favola’s distinctive entrance features subtle lights along the entrance steps and solid granite walls, setting to tone for a warm, mysterious private cave-like ambience for guests. The restaurant’s inviting surrounds in rich hues of granite, warm grey, bronze and gold, dark wood tones and mirrors create an inviting feel for intimate, private dining.

Favola Salad

Favola means ‘fable’ in Italian and upon the entrance guests will note an impressive leather-bound Book of Fables. Guests are invited to pen stories of their dining experiences at Favola or read others.

Pear Crumble Tart

Modern Italian cuisine is what Favola presents with an emphasis on flavours from Tuscany. The restaurant focuses on the freshest ingredients, seafood, meats and produces.

Ravioli

The showcase is on premium rustichella pastas, the best quality steaks, freshest seafood and creative desserts. Signature homemade breads such as the Classic Ciabatta, Sundried Tomato Foccaccia, Crispy Olive Bread, and an assortment of Grissini Sticks and Lavosh served in generous portions are baked daily. The food is perfectly paired with a sophisticated collection of over 60 types of Italian and international wines.
