Le Bouchon

Savour the gorgeous flavours of France
Popular plate: The Burgundy snails baked with fresh herbs, garlic and Pastis butter will make you feel like you're on the Riviera.

The simply designed dining room at this KL institution—with its wooden-beamed ceilings and brick fireplace—could easily have been transported from a provincial French town. The furnishings are a bit shabby chic, but they just add to the place's authentic, welcoming feel.
The menu is as inviting as the decor, with standouts including the black mussels, the rack of lamb with goat's cheese and the roasted cod fillet with chili-maple glaze. Like any good French bistro, the desserts here are sinfully indulgent, so make sure you leave some room.
