Café Lumière

Top choice in Malaysia


With guitars, clocks and rock icons set against its whitewashed brick walls, Café Lumière has a loose Parisian theme and an upbeat atmosphere. Daily food specials rotate between spaghetti bolognese, bangers and mash, sticky lemon chicken and various Europe-tinged recipes, while the coffee is consistently excellent. Pricey by Kuala Selangor standards but wholly worthwhile.
