3. Café Café

Nothing quite compares to the refinery of French dining and the notion of romance associated with cuisine française. Decadent plates of luscious foie gras, rich duck confit, and moreish escargots can all be found on the menu at this well-loved French café. The walls, both lavish and charming at once, have witnessed uncountable anniversaries and only the classic checkered floor truly knows the number of knees bent in hopeful proposal.

4. Marble 8

Tender love affairs and buttery steaks go hand in hand in our books. Signature marble 8 cuts of the finest wagyu and Angus beef are chosen exclusively by the chefs and flown in from Australia then dry-aged in a state-of-the-art ageing cellar. A contemporary meal complements the contemporary setting that boasts the KL cityscape as its backdrop. Bring your partner here and you’re bound to get a pat on the back for a job well done.

5. The Terrace at Tamarind Springs

Steamy romances will meet their match at The Terrace at Tamarind Springs. The dining concept by the award-winning Tamarind Restaurants delivers elevated authentic Thai flavours by Executive Chef Somkuhan Wandee in stylish copper pots of hand crafted soup bases that bubble and boil while a grill fires up for made-to-order platters of the freshest seafood. Set amidst verdant greens of the natural foliage of Taman T.A.R, the unique Jungle-Luxe atmosphere provides couples with an interactive hot pot experience accompanied by candlelight and the sounds of nature.

Our recommendation, the signature soup, Namya Kaknomjin—a dynamic blend of fresh snakehead murrel fish and red curry spices—that is best enjoyed with thin rice noodles. From the grill, place an order for the whole squid and be prepared for incredibly tender rings charred with a lovely smokiness.

Address: Jalan 1, Taman Tun Abdul Razak, 68000 Ampang, Selangor

7. Omakase + Appreciate

Perhaps its the thrill of being privy to a secret that has made speakeasy bars such a success in recent times. Omakase + Appreciate does more than bank on this novelty but transcends gimmicks, and prides themselves in shaking up serious cocktails concocted by award-winning mixologists, Shawn Chong and Karl Too. Score some points on spontaneity while you’re at it by picking the omakase option to leave your fate in the hands of the guys behind the bar.
