LaFite is once again our favorite restaurant in KL since the arrival of chef John Nash. The restaurant has started a new menu, either 3 or 5 courses, I recommend the 5! Chef John's style is refreshing- the main ingredients used seem to be of superb quality, the accompaniments are kept clean & simple. Amazing taste. Some of our personal... More

What was unmistakably the best French restaurant in town is sliding down. A lot of the wine list is missing having not being replaced. Some of the original signature dishes have been taken off the menu. Resting on it laurels will see further slide.

What a shame... really. The food was excellent, but the service from the maitre'd or just simply any floor staff was very poor. The Amuse was delivered to my table partially destroyed (A lollipop of Blue Cheese with ? rolled off the stick and fell into the corner of the plate. Poor presentation to start off a fine dining experience),... More

We were not allowed into the restaurant because of this stupid reason. They just lost a RM600 business deal. If it was no kids and only adults allowed, I can understand. But restricting age of...

While the Shang in KL retains some of its past glory with all the attributes of a great hotel, it needs a refreshment. Furniture in rooms a bit dated, restaurants good but missing this little thing that makes a difference

Lafite offers a few business lunch deal where the price is reasonable and the food quality is good. For the most basic deal, you can have varities of starter at the bar... If you are working at downtown and would like to have fine dining lunch, Lafite is one of the best choice
