Vinum Exchange

Top choice in Kuala Terengganu


Equal parts cafe, bar, restaurant and wine shop, Vinum Exchange is a game changer for Kuala Terengganu. The stylish interior features a great selection of international wine and spirits lining one wall. Other drinking options include espresso, beer and cider. The food, which ranges from bar snacks through to excellent Malay, Chinese and international meals, also deserves a mention.

Wine is only available by the bottle, but there are several choices available in smaller bottles (185ml).
