Potager KL — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

psssst... I wouldnt be suprised if this place is a future Michelin star restaurant. Yes, it is that amazing.

Husband and I went for date night and it is hands down thee most complete, delicate, thoughtful dining experience we have had in a very very long time. There is so much craft and focus to details from the moment you walk in, the dinner presented, to the experience beyond the table is crafted with excellence all the way through until you walk out of that building. Not going to go into dishes so much as that would be a major spoiler for anyone going but more of overall thoughts.

Some tips:

-Do make reservations online. They do an amazing job at checking in with you on dietary needs. I think we got placed in a better placement right up front and center to the chef and kitchen. We are assuming probably because of making reservations versus walk ins.

-Arrive early to get a tour of the entire space. We are already eyeing that Oak room for our next visit.

-Take that extra time to hang out at the bar before and after dinner. I asked the bartender to suprise me with something with tequila base, refreshing and not too sweet and was delighted with the results.

-It is all in the details: Fresh ingredient displays, back stories, silverware, interactive desserts and so much more. Give yourself the chance to get the peak experience with the food. Trust me, while you can absolutely enjoy the food by itself but an appreciation for the details with each dish just takes it to that next level.

-Add ons; probably my one and only dislike about the night is that there are these upsells during the dinner experience. We opted for the non-alcoholic pairings and it was totally worth it and complimented each dish perfectly.

-Do not rush out after dinner, as mentioned earlier, go to the bar after and grab coffee or a drink and just chill. We ordered a hand pour coffee. A barista came and displayed the pour for us. We got to enjoy the smells of the coffee and brew. Even got to ask the barista the ratio of the water she used to dive into those details. Grab a garden view and its just devinely quiet and perfect to end the date night in...

Field Notes from the Stomach of a Grateful Beast

Potager doesn’t need colour. Its food is so vivid, even in black and white it sings like a Charlie Chaplin film scored by Mozart.

Twice in a row we dined here. Not out of gluttony (though let’s not lie), but because something rare was happening. Executive Chef Masashi Horiuchi and Head Chef Yeoh Leng Chee have captured that elusive thing: food that dazzles with precision, soul, and memory. Each dish arrives with quiet confidence, a whisper of foam, a wink of acidity, a bite that makes time pause.

A sliver of fish so delicately cooked it nearly wept. A lamb cut so perfectly pink, it could pose for a sculpture. Vegetables treated with the same reverence as caviar and often more thrilling. And desserts? Oh, the desserts. One of them made me momentarily reconsider my entire childhood.

In a world where “consistency” is often a chef’s unicorn, spoken of but rarely caught ; Potager does the impossible: two days, back-to-back, and not a single dud. Each plate arrived with the assurance of a tight ensemble cast, directed by a chef who motivates his brigade not with the whip, but with the sort of poetic precision that would make a Swiss watch weep with envy.

Yet the genius doesn’t stop at the pass. The service team operates like a string quartet: subtle, synchronised, and utterly attuned to the diner’s rhythm. No over-fuss. No hovering. Just a gentle murmur between staff; a look, a nod, and needs are met before you realise you had them. It’s choreography, not customer service.

And truly all it takes is black and white photos. Because when the food speaks this eloquently, colour is simply a distraction. Only two restaurants in the world have ever made us return two days in a row. Potager now holds that...
