Convincing mix of Spanish and German Cooking Styles. All about the pig. If you love pork you’ll love this place. Tried the (highly acclaimed) Prok Shoulder Steak – it was good! Friendly people running the floor. Word of advice: Go in a group, so you’ll be able to have a bit of everything . Will be back. More

Fantastic ambience, impeccable service, non-pretentious atmosphere and most important of all - GREAT FOOD!! Best part of my dining experience was the suckling pig where you get to slice it up with a plate and break it!! How often do you get to experience breaking dishes in a restaurant! Desserts were equally yummy...my new favorite restaurant. Will definitely recommend this... More

Have eaten here a couple of times. Best oysters I have ever eaten (from Ireland!). Recently had roast sucking pig and pigs cheeks which were both excellent. Good wines and always fun on Jalan Changkat! Not cheap but worth it. More

Located on the happening strip on Changat Bukit Bintang. This is a highly acclaimed place. There are framed testimonials on the walls. Always full, even on weeknights. The show around the suckling pig that is cut with a plate which is then broken with a lot of fanfare is worth seeing. But regrettably, we didn't think much about the food.... More

Fantastic pork menu, with good wine and really friendly staff. Some acquired tastes (like the baby pig!) but well worth a visit. More

Was here for a birthday dinner on a Saturday, enjoyed the great food & ambiance. El Cerdo serves Spanish & Italian influenced dishes. You should visit their website to have a look at the menu. Customers, whom are mainly families and close knit friends creates a cosy atmosphere here. More

Awesome! Pork is deffinately the most wonderful food on earth and this restaurant knows how to cook it for sure. Price is ok, service good, food amazing! The suckling pig was great and you even get to chop it with a plate and then break the plate. Some kind of portugese tradition? Can get a bit noisy in there with... More
