Alexis Bistro & Wine Bar @ Great Eastern Mall Ampang

I've been wanting to try this place for years, mostly thanks to the legendary reviews of their pavlova! We finally made it for a celebration, my sister's birthday before her departure. After our savory meal, we dove into the main event: the desserts. We chose the must have Pavlova and added the Tiramisu to cure our FOMO. The pavlova was instant love! The experience was perfect, crunchy crust, soft center, and the tangy fruit cutting through the smooth, balanced cream. It is, hands down, the best pavlova I've ever had. Their tiramisu was also fantastic, especially the thoughtful twist of a caramelized almond layer. This is my new go-to place for dessert cravings!

The last time I visited, they served incredible pizzas in their custom made traditional pizza oven. But was told the pizza oven was no longer used 6 years ago. The ambience was still good for its age. The place is dimmer than your typical bistro. The menu has changed to fit their target customers now offering a fair share of western dishes, pizzas , and Asian favourites. The ribeye was RM125++ and the lamb rack was RM115++. Tender, tasty, well presented and cooked to preference but the portion size could be a little bit more bigger. The thin crust pizza was good for its size, topping, and taste but cannot compare with their former pizzas straight from their pizza oven. Their cakes is a signature item of Alexis. The tiramisu sponge cake was a bit of a disappointment as it became mushy very fast when it was served. The salted caramel dark chocolate was good especially the rich, salted creme complemented the slightly bitter chocolate. Would have been perfect if it wasn't a bit dry. Generally the food quality was good but portion size could be better. Their drinks were slightly pricey. Service could be improved with more engagement and smiles.

We had laksa sarawak and nasi dagang. The spicy level of the laksa is just nice, very tasty. The portion is also a good size. We were there on a weekday, no crowd and didn’t have to wait long for food to arrive. It was hot outside but thanks to the nice cooling air conditioned place, it was quite a good environment. My feedback for improvement would be the matcha latte which was not hot and not properly mixed.

I came here craving a piece of pavlova. While the taste was still good, I couldn’t help but notice that the cake has changed compared to before. It used to have two layers of meringue with cream in between, but now it feels simplified with less layering, which was a little disappointing since I really enjoyed the original version. That being said, the service was attentive and everyone was very welcoming, even thanking us as we left. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made the visit pleasant overall.

The fish and chips was done just right - the batter was golden, crispy, and satisfying. It comes with thick chips, tartar sauce and the classic mushy peas. The peas are slightly seasoned with a hint of mint. Although the mushy peas may not look glamorous, they are a nostalgic and tasty essential on a proper fish and chip plate. The tender lamb bryanni was served with spiced chutney, and dhal. On top of the food, service at this restaurant is excellent.

Tucked away at the edge of GE mall, it has good service and nice ambience for a great dining experience although the food was nothing to shout about. The spaghetti in the sea food spaghetti ordered was still relatively hard i.e. not cooked properly and not tender as one would have expected when eating a plate of spaghetti.

The place is at a corner of Ground Floor of Great Eastern Mall in Jalan Ampang. It’s been there for many years. Looks posh and high end. The atmosphere is cozy with not so bright lightings. There’s a small stage at a corner for ac2-3 piece band playing live Jazz music. Service was fast, professional, very attentive and courteous. Well trained. Food is acceptable quality and taste, but a little pricey for the portion served. Overall, a nice cozy place for couple or group lunch or dinner. Food is good if don’t mind about the price. Maybe paying for the services and atmosphere.

Always comes here fr their mee siam. Delicious & tasty. Staff is friendly too.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. Their wide selection of wine is very good - from affordable to pricey Grade A. Food & dessert are delicious. I love their cheese cakes! Another plus point is Alexis Ampang is one of the few jazz bars offering international level singers & bands every Friday & Saturday nights. Their service is quite good too. It is usually full house. Therefore, it is wise to book a table for dinner & stay till 10pm for jazz. The management doesn't allow non-diners to sit at the table on performance nights, which I think is fair. If you are there for jazz only, then, you've to sit at the bar. I highly recommend this place to impress your date or to organize a party (a room with a good view of the stage is available for reservation) or for jazz lovers to chill after a week of hard work.

Alexis, even the name intrigues you to step inside and enjoy the ambience which is per to the fect. Jazz music with dim lighting complete with tables facing the stage gives you a more intimate dining experience with the live band of the night. Famous for their cakes, especially the Tiramisu and Pavlova, it's a sin not to try at least either. The Pavlova has the perfect meringue consistency that most bakeries fail to achieve. Chewy in the inside with a brittle crust paired with the right amount of tardiness from the berries gives you an out of the world burst of flavors. While the Tiramisu with a pump of strawberry sauce (I thought it was chili sauce at first, silly me) has the right balance between nutty, cocoa, and the subtle taste of coffee. Each cake would set you back about RM16++ but trust me on this, it is worth every single penny spent.

Their selection of desserts is absolutely yummy! It is my go-to-place for a quick dessert fix and a hot cuppa. Im however not a fan of their food menu, i can never seem to decide what to eat and the few times that i have i didnt really enjoy the meal i ordered. They've also a series of entertainment over the weekends, and it is the place to be at if you love jazz. Ive had the pleasure of being entertained by KL's Jazz singers such as Atilia, Melissa Indot, Ida Mariana, Adibah Nor just to name a few. They've flown in International Jazz acts too such as Barry Cooper (US) , Damon Brown (UK), Hayley Claire (Aus). So far i've never been disappointed on my jazzy night outings there. Entrance is free for those who dines in with them otherwise there is a cover charge to enter. The fees would be depending on who's playing for the night. Now you know where to go for your sweet cravings and for some jazz!

Atilia is a well known jazz songbird in Malaysia and I've had the pleasure of watching her perform live for the first time in my life at Alexis great eastern mall. Her rendition of the Miley Cyrus' wrecking ball was, well, like music to my ears. Alexis Great Eastern Mall is well known for hosting jazz nights where different jazz performers come to perform each week. There is a cover charge of rm25 upon entry. I arrived there a little late and the place was dimly lit so I was stumbling to find some familiar faces in the darkness. My friends called out to me from their table and I soon made my way there. A great way to spend the night with good company, fantastic music and excellent wine. I really did feel like a little jazz enthusiast that night, swaying to the music and enjoying my glass of wine. "So this is what grownups do on the weekends," I thought to myself.

I went to Alexis Ampang for a friend's birthday celebration. We shared three pizzas, some salad, and a duck confit. I love their pizzas, especially their seafood one, I believe it is because they topped their pizzas with good cheese and some herbs. The herbs played a big role in bringing out the flavours. Then came the duck confit which made us all laugh because we forgot that it came as a whole and not in shreds between the salad, so then, we had a problem sharing it. There were many of us, so we decided to shred it. My friend and I did the honours. We mixed it with the pear and salad, and boy oh boy was duck with pear and cashew nuts and salad good! For dessert, we decided to get the birthday a slice of tiramisu. I've had the tiramisu before I've always loved it. I personally think Alexis has one of the beat tiramisu in town.

If you are a lover of Jazz, you have to visit this place. Every Friday and Saturday nights, they have special line up of live jazz performances showcased by internationally renowned musicians and also our local stars. Cover charge ranges, of which I have once paid RM15 for a local artist namely Mia Palencia, and RM25 for an international artist. I really like the cosy, stylish and intimate set up of the place, perfect for a romantic dinner for you and your partner. They have tables right in front of the stage, giving you the most personal view of the performer, and also seats towards the back of the restaurant and also a smoking area outside. Their wood-fired pizzas are not bad, price ranging from above RM30++. I have not dined here because it is slightly pricey, but instead came here for drinks and snacks, simply just to catch the music because tables are only reserved for diners only. They are always packed for the two times I have visited and you need to make reservations to avoid disappointment and you are given half hour from the given time before your table is given away, should you be late, do inform them beforehand. No slippers and shorts are allowed, so be prepared for a classy evening. Dim lights, wine serving, and soul-ful music, mmmm... that's what I'd call a sexy evening.

I've been to Alexis, Ampang about 8-9 times in the past few years and its sad to say that the food quality has deteriorated terribly. When i used to frequent Alexis about 4 years ago, i loved it, the food and environment. But for the past 2 years at least, i feel like the food quality has dropped quite significantly. I used to have the lamb which was cooked to perfection, and i loved it. Although i did think it was way overpriced. In recent visits i've had pasta which i thought was yummy but only because it had so much MSG in it! I was so thirsty after and the taste of the MSG just lingered in my mouth. I hated this cause i was paying premier prices for this plate of pasta only to have it be cooked with way too much MSG. Besides that, their cakes are still some of my favorites especially the blueberry cheese cake (so yummy!). Their milkshakes are very yummy too in my opinion, oh and their pizza's! I love how the crust is so thin and the toppings are fresh and abundant. Alexis is definitely overpriced, but would probably be worth it for a special occasion?

Alexis is the perfect place to bring a date. It's a place to wind down after a day of work with some wine and good dessert. There are some nights where there would be jazz performances as well. They would also get some international acts. The wine list is pretty extensive, food considerably decent but slightly overpriced for what they may serve so don't expect too much and don't compare it with a high class restaurant. I personally go there for their pavlova. It's what I live for in Alexis. The decor and lighting is very inviting for people who needs to relax and wind down as said earlier. There are also quite a few well-known people that goes to this bistro.

Alexis gave me this kind of very atas feeling to dine in, feel like you can't afford anything because the interior restaurant itself is like super comfy but also you will be very worry the price is super high or something :\ but then I think the money worth the try already, their Pappardelle with Meatballs for me is amaze balls though, thought of it could be just average but the taste is right there, the meaty feeling is full filling my tummy :3 I recommend you guys to try their Slow Roasted Duck Magret, the meat roasted it well and everything is perfect :) the side salad is very refreshing with orange along with this dish :) personally thinking that these dish are awesome :) will come back with a special occasion :)

I'll dive right into why i gave this place a 1star review. My gf ordered the laksa and i got the beef burger. I thought my burger was good, however, my girlfriend upon almost finishing off her meal, found a band aid wrapper on the bottom of her bowl. yes. A band aid wrapper. This was pretty shocking, to say the least. Althought, it seemed almost a natural climax to the whole experience. As to begin with, i was already put off by the noticably dirty fabric used on the chairs outdoors and the fact that one of drinks we ordered came in a glass with lipstick stains on it. Alexis left us feeling completly grossed out. My partner seem broderline traumatised by the whole experience. I should mention that the manager of the place was very apologetic and understanding. Still i wouldn't go back to this place if you paid me to.

I don't like to criticise restaurants because I know if I open one, my food wouldn't be good at all but this restaurant take it to the next level and so I created a Yelp account just to write this review. The prices isn't worth it of the food. First of all, the bread that was served as the appetisers are as hard as stones! It took me a great deal of time to cut and eat them. I ordered a pizza. It tasted like the chef throw in a whole bunch of sugar into it. The food is absolutely terrible and the drinks, it's like they just pour in whatever the fuck they want inside. What's worse is that they didn't give me a new set of cutleries. The server just placed and folk and knife BACK onto the table and took my plate away! It's disgusting! I had to demand them for new set of cutleries. I think for the price, I deserve that without asking. The only think that prevented me from giving a one star rating are the friendly servers and the cake. It's absolutely delicious. I would recommend that if you want to go to this restaurant only buy the cakes and nothing else.

Came here with a girlfriend 9pm for dessert and wine. Restaurant was only 30% filled with lots of empty tables but that didn't mean service was faster or attentice. As a matter of fact it took about 10 minutes before anyone came over with a menu. I was a bit disappointed already with the service. On with the dessert now...... peach pie was delicious except i didn't care for the bed of melted vanilla ice cream it sat on. Do we really need the extra calories? The peach crumble was delicious enough to enjoy as is. We also got the tiramisu which was good but not something i would return to. As for drinks, 2 of the 4 wines offer at fhe menu weren't available which was bizarre bc it strike me as a nice wine bar restaurant. Anyhow, i was left with the choice to order the more expensive red which was the pinot noir. Overall, my experience was a bit disappointed as I had high hopes for this spot based on the mini Time Out review I read. Perhaps, we came in on a slow week night where staff was short and availability in service was limited. I will try go on a Friday jazz night to get another feel.
