KL; Ribs by Vintry

 I was here for a birthday of a close friend, so for that "Happy Birthday Jason"!!!. Was here for the first time but the food blown me away, compelling me to share this with others.

King of all the ribs: Barbarian BBQ Ribs!!! - Finger licking good...

Ribs and wine - one stop - at Ribs by Vintry, Damansara Heights. A relaxed atmosphere (yes please do eat your ribs with your fingers letting the sauce drip down to your elbows and a sticky tongue dabbing ring of sauce develop around your lips and up to your cheeks), cosy set up and a fantastic wine selection make for a comforting and tummy satisfying evening with friends or family.

You already know the two reasons to visit - ribs and wine. Starting with ribs, the waiter told us that the braised ribs are the most 'special' but our table thought the BBQ pork ribs and the butter cream pork ribs gave them a good run for that honour. Portions are generous and accompanied with some type of vegetable most often mashed potato and coleslaw. Around RM60 will get you a large rack of ribs enough to share or to take home some leftovers. If you are only going along to accompany the carnivore in your life there are a number of other menu options that won't leave you needing a coronary cleaning before midnight.

The Vintry house salad is pretty filling, packed with fresh leaves, cherry and sun dried tomatoes, olives and a tangy papaya dressing. You could also easily just nibble on the cheese platter while blissfully sipping away your hand chosen bottle of wine. Get a recommendation from the trained waitstaff or walk around the racks and coolroom to see for yourself the great assortment of award winning wines from around the world. A decent bottle of wine starts from around RM125 and there is no corkage for wine purchased from the cellar.

So many of us, we decided on variety if dishes for tasting;


Pork ribs sauteed in butter cream & curry leaves-infused sauce. Could have used some bread to mop up the thick, robust gravy.

BBQ pork ribs. Their signature dish really satisfies, though I'm inclined to believe that Checkers nearby still serves chunkier, more succulent ribs.

Beef ribs braised with red wine herb sauce. Tender, but the sauce was too salty and overpowering. Would it be sacrilegious to say we prefer Tony Roma's?

Tom Yum Spaghetti. This might sound like a weird combination, but they were DELICIOUS! I can’t stop picking on the crispy pork lards too. YES, you hear me right; you can actually have crispy pork lards in your spaghetti.

Barbarian Ribs.  I’m not kidding.  Eat it with your fingers (and ruin your manicure).  Tear the meat apart with your teeth (and wonder why it doesn’t take any effort when the meat literally falls off the bones).  Lick that delicious barbecue sauce that clings to the meat.

Rating: 96% (Super Awesome!!!)- but do keep in mind, ur paying for the taste, cost wise "expensive"!!
