Raison D’être
Chef Takashi Kimura reflecting on his idea of a great dish.
WELCOME TO CILANTRO
“I am convinced that the best-tasting meal one has ever had is not due solely to the quality of the ingredients but equally to the reason for being of the appropriate cooking method added with the correct seasoning, making it truly memorable”.
- Chef Takashi Kimura
OUR IDENTITY
Nos propositions gastronomiques
Although inspired by French cuisine, Cilantro forms a unique identity with a touch of exotic Asian ingredients. All ingredients are carefully selected and measured to perfection. Also seasonal, they are served only when the time is right.
Tucked away in the elegant MiCasa Hotel, Cilantro has long established itself as a favourite within Kuala Lumpur's fine dining scene.
Curated ingredients, skillful cooking, and a tasteful ambience make up the unique French - Japanese dining experience that is perfect for business and social settings. We were very grateful to be recognised as a new entry into the prestigious Asia's top 100 restaurants in 2022 and we hope to continue providing our guests the best experiences possible.
Private Dining & Events
Cilantro is available for private events and group dinings for lunch and dinner. From intimate celebrations to special occasions and corporate functions, our dedicated team will work with you to curate a menu to accommodate your requirements.
