Eagle Square, or 'Dataran Lang,' is a prominent landmark in Langkawi, known for its majestic eagle statue. Although Eagle Square itself is more of a scenic attraction rather than a culinary hub, it is set in the heart of Langkawi, which is a melting pot of cultures and consequently, cuisines. Langkawi's food history is rich and influenced by a variety of cultures including Thai, Malay, Indian, and Chinese. Locals have embraced these influences and fused them with indigenous cooking methods and ingredients such as seafood and rice, creating a tapestry of flavors unique to the region.
While these restaurants are not all within walking distance of Eagle Square, Langkawi is relatively small and most of them are a short drive away, ensuring visitors can enjoy a variety of dishes the island has to offer after exploring the famous landmark.
