Kuala Lumpur Restaurants

  1. Frangipani

    Much feted for its innovative approach to European fusion cooking, Frangipani is leagues ahead of most of the competition. The décor is as slick as the menu, with a stunning dining room surrounding a reflecting pool, and there's an equally stylish bar upstairs.

  5. Le Bouchon

    The dining room at this tasteful French-owned place could have been plucked straight from a Burgundy chateau. The wine list is extensive and the house bouillabaisse (seafood soup with saffron) is highly recommended.

    Italian food all round at this refined, partly open-air restaurant uphill from Changkat Bukit Bintang. Pizza and pastas are sublime and there's a good value antipasti buffet lunch.

  8. Saffron

    Saffron offers summer colours and Mediterranean food - tapas, salads, grilled scallops and the like. Food is good but it can get busy here at weekends.
