Cilantro Cilantro is still one of the best high-end dining experiences in KL and the quality of the food is praiseworthy, alongside their vast knowledge of wine.

The pan-fried unagi with foie gras is a very rare combination, a masterclass in fusion done with alacrity. Cilantro has mastered the mouth-watering juxtaposition of flavours and textures, with the al dente pasta providing a perfect foil for the creamy sea urchin roe. For desserts you can try out the heavenly Feuillantine of Apple with Calvados Ice Cream cooked in apple slices laced with strong flavour of apple brandy topped with vanilla ice cream.
