The Kota Kinabalu Food Trail has officially launched

 

13 October 2025: The Kota Kinabalu Food Trail has officially launched, and it’s every food lover’s dream come true! Featuring 29 specially selected restaurants, this trail celebrates the city’s incredible flavours, quality dining, and vibrant food culture.

A collaboration between the Sabah Tourism Board and the Sabah Chefs Association, the trail serves as your ultimate guide to eateries that best represent the taste of Sabah. Each participating restaurant proudly displays a distinctive plaque marking it as a must-visit dining spot in KK.

From beloved local favourites to emerging eateries worth discovering, these 29 establishments were chosen after months of tastings and evaluations by the Sabah Chefs Association team.

This is just the beginning, future phases will expand the Food Trail to Sandakan and Tawau.
