Lafite Restaurant

Came here for a friends birthday party where we had the entire place to ourselves. They served us a 3 course meal and i must say it was the best steak i ever had.
I liked the place very much, the ambience was nice and elegant and the service was fantastic.
With the kind of service and great quality of food, id definitely come back here again And will keep in mind that this would also be a great place to host events.

I’ve heard and read many good comments about LaFite in Shangri-​la Hotel, and they have been one of the best fine dining in Kuala Lumpur dining scene. In fact, they are being considered the ‘grandfather” of fine dining. The décor were classy and the ambience screamed luxurious. They serve classic French cuisine and interesting collection of wines too.
I’m never really a big fan of bread, but they served super delicious home-​baked bread. They were chewy and it gets better with every bite. We were served with our amuse bouche of the night — Asparagus Soup. The soup was creamy and flavourful. The highlight of the night would have to be Joe’s appetizer — Cauliflower Cream Soup with Maine Lobster and Egg Surprise. I’ve had perfectly cooked eggs previously, but the egg surprise was beyond perfect! It was out of this world. The egg white was fluffy and had a soufflé texture; cut the egg into half and you’ll see runny yolks oozing out. The creamy yolks added extra flavour and creaminess to the already well-​seasoned soup. They will change the menu regularly, but this egg surprise is still on the menu at the moment.
As for the main course, I would have to give my vote to the Roasted Hokkaido Scallops on Potato Galatte with White Wine Sauce, Mussels and Springs Vegetables. The scallops were sweet and fresh. I was never a fan of mussels but I was converted that night — the mussels were cooked perfectly.
Apart from the excellent food, the servers were very professional too. It’s natural that we’ll expect a certain level of service standard from a fine dining restaurant, but the servers in LaFite were really attentive and beyond my expectations. We had a slight incident during our dinner, and they were quick to react in resolving the incident.
It’s definitely not cheap to dine in LaFite, but I felt it was worth every penny spent and no harm doing it once in a blue moon. The dress code would be smart casual and closed toe shoes and long pants for gentlemen. Smoking is not permitted in LaFite.
