When he takes

me in his arms

And speaks softly to me,

I see life in

rosy hues ...

Be transported to a gracious time by strains of Edith Piaf’s great love song, La vie en rose, as you imbibe delicious little morsels of escargot in an anise cream sauce.

Housed in a bungalow built in the mid 20^th century on the gentle incline of a hill, the new restaurant enjoys a garden setting in the golden heart of Kuala Lumpur and an unprecedented view of the KL Tower and Twin Towers.

Go on, have a pre-dinner drink like the French do on the ample terrace before adjourning to the candelabra-lit main dining room, or one of the two private rooms.

The menu is designed to bring back a lost era, when food was not as tainted as today, and chefs did not take short cuts in the kitchen. You can say that here, we make everything from scratch – if we can, we will make the milk and butter as well!

The cuisine can be simply described as “honest French food”, and classics such as pâté en croûte, traditional French onion soup, Foie gras crème brûlée, Coq au vin, Bouillabaisse, and steak with Bordelaise sauce, are on the menu.

Culinary trainer and chef-owner Jean-Michel Fraisse is one who believes in using the least processed food that he can find in his cooking. In the kitchen is Mickaël Cornutrait and his team. 

If you linger long enough, you will hear the great crooner Louis Armstrong’s interpretation of La vie en Rose being played – What a Wonderful World
