Nice restaurant by the river, cool and breezy with excellent view of the river. Good local food. Freshly cooked so bit of a wait. Bit more pricey than normal because of the river view. Selection of beer and beverages.

This was a good introduction to Malaysian food for our kids. Menu is varied and good value and we found food consistently tasty each time we dined here. Char Kwai Teow was our favourite but could not really go wrong. Overlooking the river it is in a good location and within easy walk of many hotels.

I ordered the khatulistiwa burger...the bun was soggy and not very edible (cat liked it though :) ). Fruit salad bland and tasteless.

Khatulistiwa Restaurant is in a prime location on the riverfront and definitely looks better at night, it is a 24 hour place but during the daytime you can really notice how much it needs a good cleanup. The food is very hit and miss if you can get anyone to take your order but the setting is very nice. I... More

This place is on a budget side - plastic plates and glasses, cheaper furniture, etc. Yet the location is as good as it gets - directly at the river promenade offering great sunset views. The food is excellent - the squid that I ordered was very well cooked and perfectly spicy (not like in many other places where they will... More

What a fantastic location for a drink and a bite to eat! It's a pity the upstairs section isn't open during the day to maximise the views and the breeze. We had good food, icy drinks and prompt service.
