This was an excellent meal - portions were small but excellently presented and introduced by the waiter. We were a group of 6 and had a semi priovate space which was great. This is fine dining at its best - not a place to go if you are really really hungry due to the portion sizes and the lack of... More

Lafite is supposed to be one of the best restaurant in town. I went with my wife for a romantic dinner and we've been very disappointed. First the seatings isn't private. The menu was looking fantastic but the portion is a joke. The different plate were good but not exceptional. The service was poor and arrogant.

Everything about Lafite spells 'excellence'. The food, the ambience and service! Maybe that explains whythis superb restaurant has been in business for decades! Even otherrestaurenteur would go to Lafife to celebrate

Very good fine dining by KL standards and wonderful service. Good value compared to western prices too. Meat dishes are done very well indeed. Not michelin by any means but you won't be disappointed.

Been here a few times and still never fails to surprise us. We were here for our wedding anniversary dinner. Took the 3 course set with a dessert and upgrade main dishes to crunchy amadai fish. Totally fantastic! Food quality here has always been on the best consistency. Service from the whole staff in Lafite was the best as always.... More

First breakfast a bit of a failure. Asked for 4 minute boiled eggs and they didn't arrive. Waited for twenty minutes and they still didn't come so asked the staff to check. Eventually two eggs arrivedbut unfortunately not cooked for four minutes and raw. Gave up and had something else.

The service is above average and the speed in serving of the food is pathetically slow. Above average food quality.

Lets start with breakfast. One word "WOW". I have stayed at Four Seasons,Fairmont,Inter Continental,Le Meridien and this is one breakfast i would go to every day. The first thing i hate about buffet breakfasts that allthese hotels have the same breakfast every morning but at the Shangri-la it is different every day barring the normal food. Concierge Farzrul is brilliant.... More

We often visit the lounge around 3-5 pm as they serve a great afternoon tea, complete with sandwiches, scones and small cakes. There is a good selection of teas, and the staff are friendly and efficient.
