Though located around the hustle and bustle of KL city, one could easily overlook this unassuming quaint restaurant at Jalan Maharajalela, a hidden gem in town. Café Café remained as one of the most highly acclaimed restaurants over the years and more to come.
With a bevy of awards under its belt, food can hardly go wrong in here.
The moment we reached its doorstep, the door flew open and we were immediately greeted and ushered to our table by 3 warm-smiling faces.
Walking through the door was like being teleported to another place— dangling crystals, huge chandeliers, dimly candlelit tables and lavishly decorated surroundings, we almost forgot where we were.
We surveyed the Parisian restaurant after the captain took our orders. I couldn't help notice that their chairs were dissimiliar from a table to another!
Since we ordered from their six-course menu, portions are bound to be smaller. Do order ala-carte off their Frence Italian menu if you fancy a heftier main course.

Starter for the night- Chef of the day- Consommé. A cold, clear but richly flavoured soup to whet our appetites.
Sourdough with olive oil and vinegar- I like them being served crispy and hot.
Niçoise salad- As I only managed to finish half of it, the concerned waiter explained that the garnishing anchovies were indeed too salty.
Pan seared Foie Gras- It's my first time having Foie Gras and nearly fainted in delight. It was crispy on the outside, melts when it touches your mouth. They should serve this as the final dish as it's so perfect and aromatic that makes you think dinner just end here. Nothing can ever beat this.
Clams in White Wine- fresh clams that smell faintly of wine. I could imagine the Chef cooking it in flames.
Wagyu Beef Cheeks with Risotto and Mushrooms- This is literary meat from the cow's cheeks, a self-explainatory to why it is so tender. On top of that, they braised it to make it even more tantalizing.
Lemon Sorbet- I'm already salavating by the look of it. Reminds me of the fresh Lecka-Lecka ice cream that I once tried.
Original Chocolate Cake- We didn't get to try their famed tiramisu, instead, this turned out to be a favourite among diners for the night. I still can remember piping hot chocolate syrup flowed out from the cake once it's being cut open, and I mean really WARM! This is undeniably the BEST dessert I've ever had!
The dinner definitely lived up to our expectations, even exceeding it. How could anyone NOT love café café?
Pin said I looked so happy in all pictures.
Thanks for the wonderful meal and Happy 5th Anniversary :)

This restaurant was, is, continue-to-be the best restaurant in Malaysia.
I can feel the warmth, the heart and the sincerity of the French.All dishes were served with a clear motive - to be able to see the customers walk away, having a contended smile on each of their face.
The portions are calculated juuuusst nice and the flavors ... I just cannot put it in words. Not to mention having it with a fine woman ^^
Atmosphere: Great
Service: Perfect
Price: Acceptable
Food: Remarkable
Having the course with someone I love: Priceless.
Happy 5th anniversary.
no wonder French are hopelessly romantic creatures- this place can make anyone want to be one.I'm looking forward to another visit already ^^
