What Our Guests Say

Michelle Heng

Amazing experience from start to finish, with attentive and friendly service throughout our visit. We came here to celebrate a birthday and had been especially looking forward to the Cold Capellini, which certainly did not disappoint. The dish was fresh, well-balanced, and lived up to our expectations.

Casey Gan

Chef Kimura is a chef that has mastery over  his ingredients, cooking all items to perfection which tastes natural and original. We had one of the best meal with the ingredients in the dishes coming fore with all the nuances and colors with being adulterated or overcome with overhandling. Looking forward to coming back more often.

Patricia Chow

It was a pleasure to dine at the grande dame of the city‘s fine dining scene.  A comfortable elegant setting where waiters served with effortless grace.  The entire course was thoughtfully curated.  From the first amuse-bouche to the final flourish of dessert, the journey through the menu was seamless.  A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Jonathan Tan

Decadent satisfaction that can only be delivered through the finest of French cuisine. Wonderfully French in its techniques with a dash of Japanese and local, this mainstay in KL's fine dining scene still delivers after all these years. Timing of the food served was perfect. And service was excellent throughout as well.

We’ve been here a number of times over the years, and Cilantro remains a place where consistency is a key feature - in terms of service, quality and execution. Their menus, whether degustation or seasonal or from the signature menu, always upholds the same commitment to finesse and excellency...

Have been coming here since I was a child, and the food is consistently creative and delicious. Highly recommend the cold capellini, if you’re able to add that to your meal. Service is also very good.
