Étoile Bistro: Brunch at EQ Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Étoile Bistro is nestled on the 2^nd Floor of the EQ Hotel Kuala Lumpur serving fresh baked pastries and bread, homemade meals, delightful grab and go varieties, coffee, and a wide selection of ice-cold craft beer.

The bistro has two parts: The Interior area with a warm ambiance, murals on the wall which depicts the skyline of the city, the pastel chairs that adds dazzling mood, potted plants that looks attractive, colorful plates on the wall that illustrates a fiery phoenix rising from the ashes, the exquisite golden sticks chandelier pendant light that will instantly catch your attention the moment you enter the bistro and the Al-fresco ambiance sets on a tropical vibe for those who prefers to enjoy a bit of a sun.

We had Smoked Duck Fettuccine (RM 35) and Pan Seared Barramundi (RM 39), Iced Cafe Latte (RM15) and Cafe Latte (RM 12). Can’t complain about the food and Coffee is good, too. It’s just too crowded during our visit – Probably due to the timing, it was lunch time, and it was filled with office workers! Outside is a bit hot especially during lunch hour. Menu selection is also excellent ranging from All-Day Breakfast, Pasta, Salad, Signature Main Course dishes like Braised Lamb Moroccan Lamb Shank, Country Steak & Mushroom Pie, Grilled Norwegian Salmon, Steak Diane and Grilled Chicken Breast, Soups, Sandwiches and Burgers, Drinks that includes Tea, Coffee, and Even Alcohol beverage. They even have a Happy Hour from 5-7pm where you could enjoy Tiger Beer Buckets 5 Bottles for about RM 78.

Service is attentive despite the crowd – they’re eager to help us find a table inside. Only drawback is that it could be a bit noisy especially if you opt to stop by for some meetings. It’s not a place to bring your laptop and do some work unless you don’t have online meetings – it will be fine. Catching up with friends or grab some pastries en-route to office or even quick coffee fix on a garden setting with lovely foliage before that workday madness starts would be great!
