Valentine’s season is upon us and if you’re looking for a romantic place to take your significant other to this year, we’ve got you covered.
Here are 10 romantic restaurants in Klang Valley, perfect for Valentine’s Day.
1. Café Café
Café Café has become the resident romantic go-to in KL whenever a couple is up for a romantic night together. And it’s no surprise, as Café Café has an old school ambience to it, which kind of brings a little piece of Paris here. Everyone knows that Paris and vintage scream romance for obvious reasons. Plus, if you are looking to do something a little more extravagant for your partner, they also offer a customised menu featuring delicacies that will be delightful for your tongue.
Café Café

Address: 175, Jalan Maharajalela, 50150 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

2. Cantaloupe
Sky dining is never not romantic. “Hanging” midair and getting to enjoy classy food while also having a view of the majestic Twin Towers, what is not romantic about it? Plus, despite the minimalist decor that doesn’t seem Malaysian at all, you will still be reminded of the local tastes with the food, where the French chef, Chris Bauer, infuses Malaysian twists into French cuisines.

3. Maison Française
Yes, another French restaurant, because you have to admit, the French knows their sh*t. Maison Française, translated, is ‘French House’. For a true French fine dining experience, look no further than this place, be it in terms of the atmosphere or the food. The black and white theme of the place is also ideal for the idea that while you and your partner can be opposites of each other, you are still devoted to one another.

5. Lafite
Shangri-La Hotel is a 5-star classy hotel that everyone loves and hates – love because it’s beautiful and comfortable and it’s Shangri-La; hate because as much as it’s romantic, it’s also on the pricier end. However, you have to admit that even if you are the most unromantic and distant person, you’d still jump at a chance for a romantic dinner at Lafite in Shangri-La.
Lafite

KL is not exactly running out of rooftop restaurants, but Rococo Restaurant is one that is intentionally romantic. First of all, it can be easily seen that red is its main theme, and what does red mean? Passion.
