La Suisse Restaurant — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

REGRET #1: I have heard about this place before many years ago, and am now regretting the fact that I didn't check it out sooner.

REGRET #2: I wish I had a bigger capacity to be able to eat everything on the menu!

REGRET #3: I wish I stayed closer to this place.

This establishment has a very reputable following since its days over in Damansara Heights when it was originally housed there. A few years ago, it made the move over to Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, and continues to gather even more fans than ever.

Parking along Lorong Rahim Kajai 13 is normally quite full, but you should be able to get a spot a little bit away and walk here. It's worth the calories.

La Suisse serves a hybrid of Swiss, French and Italian food, and they do all of it very well. The simplistic decor greets you as you walk in. Nothing pretentious, just a straightforward restaurant with simple furnishings and nice table settings for each of the well spaced tables inside, with a Swiss accent.

The menu is wonderfully simple. And true to my belief that restaurants with lesser items on the menu normally serve better food than those with an overstuffed menu that presents nothing but bland food.

I was celebrating my daughter's birthday here, so as a party of four, we could afford to order a bit more than usual. For starters the Raclette and Smoked Duck Salad were heavenly. Loved the slightly nutty taste of the cheese with boiled potatoes and pickles, while the smoked duck slices on top of the fresh salad was scrumptious.

The Crab Bisque was also one of a kind, as the lingering aroma of brandy infused into the soup left an exquisite aftertaste. The Button Mushroom soup was rich and creamy.

The mains were quite large in portion and was was good enough to share. We had ordered one main course each and it was way too much. But soldier on we did, as my Braised Oxtail was tender, with meat falling off the bone in a rich sauce that could only have taken hours to simmer and draw out all the richness of the vegetables and the meat.

The Sliced Zurich Chicken with Rosti was super delicious. Pieces of chicken breast in a rich sauce together with a piece of rosti was a meal in itself. The Chicken with Herbs De Provence was a flavourful grilled chicken with a light sauce. And my daughter's Viennese Chicken was light and crunchy, and she remarked it's better than any other schnitzel she has ever had.

We ended our dinner with a special deep fried banana dessert with ice cream for my daughter's birthday celebration, thanks to Claudia, the wife of the proprietor and chef, Mike.

And speaking of Mike and Claudia, they were truly warm and accommodating, and made us feel more welcomed than ever.

Prices here are reasonable when you consider the freshness of the ingredients of the food, the superb preparation and overall satisfaction.

Taman Tun folks, you don't know how lucky you are to have such a fine establishment at...

This humble gem in TTDI offers a refreshing departure from the typical European fine dining establishments that dominate the area. Unlike the overly polished, high-end restaurants that prioritize extravagant decor, tiny portions, and exorbitant prices—often masking mediocre flavors—this place is a genuine, owner-run European eatery.

It’s the kind of spot you’d stumble upon in a small European town, where the focus is on hearty, quality food rather than pretentious presentation or unnecessary flair.

The portions here are generous, served with little fuss or fanfare, and the food tastes like it was lovingly prepared in a home kitchen. It’s as if you’ve been invited to dine with a host family in Europe, where the emphasis is on comfort, flavor, and authenticity. This unpretentious approach is a breath of fresh air, especially in a region where European cuisine often comes with a side of excessive poshness and underwhelming taste. If you’re craving quality food that feels like a warm, homecooked meal, this Swiss gem is a must-visit.

We weren't super hungry but left pleased with our choice of braised oxtail and Veal. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

They had some limited choices of wine but we didnt have any this time round. Forgot to ask them about corkage fees, if any.

If there was one thing i would change, it'd be to request for them to serve the food a little hotter. Perhaps to warn the dish prior to plating. My braised oxtail cooled really quickly, i wohld have enjoyed it more if it stayed...

Discovered a nice restaurant nearby my office lately! Their steak is really nice! We ordered an Angus with Brandy sauce, the quality of beef is really good and their sauce is just nice for the steak. Will definitely come back for their steak!

Their smoked duck is surprisingly good too! Think cut and decent portion. The sauce is homemade and fit the dish well. Not forgetting their hots sauce ice-cream! They serve the sauce and vanil ice cream separately, scooping the hot sauce into the vanila ice cream when we eat, the ice cream is half melt and half cold. The sauce taste is not very strong so might not an good option for this who like flavourful dessert (strong taste) but I added additional scoop of ice cream😂😂

We can’t have much wine that day, hence we ordered home poured wine, but it’s surprising not bad! Not forgetting, the lady boss, I like her vibes so much! The way she talks is like a grandma talking to her kids. It made me felt like talking to her more.

It was a really decent dining experience. Will...
