2) Yeast Bistronomy

Yeast brought French bread and cuisine to Bangsar in 2012, with a cozy and welcoming little space. Their name comes from two important elements in French cuisine – bread and wine. The common ground between both? Yeast. At the bakery, you will find a selection of freshly baked bread and pastries, whilst the Bistro serves up hot meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
