At Entier, uncluttered lines, marble cladding and wooden furniture provide an ambiance of contemporary classiness, with plenty of natural light from large windows looking out onto the uplifting panorama of KL City from the 41^st floor of the Alila Hotel.  

Shared Eats, French Style

Casual French dining for sharing among family and friends

A relative newcomer tucked into an upper floor of The Greens Condominium, Cocott has attracted quite a following, if the crowd on a recent weekend is anything to go by.  The restaurant has an airy, light feel, thanks to wide expanses on glass on three sides with outdoor and indoor seating.  A long counter and a large window into the kitchen occupy the last side.

Within, the décor embraces the spacious theme, with a clean, uncluttered design.  A herringbone pattern wooden parquet floor overlaid with rugs, and classic wooden cushioned chairs provide balance to the open space, white and glass walls. Sprays of orchids in bloom and a few strategically placed plants add further touches of warmth.
