Molina

The atmosphere was great for a fine dining restaurant, but the service was slow. We started our 7-course meal at 6:30 pm and didn’t finish until 10:30 pm, with long waits between courses. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary for the price. A nice spot for ambiance, but be ready for a long dining experience.

I made my reservation almost a month in advance and selected the default 5-course option, including a note to contact me regarding a RM100 top-up for an in-house birthday cake. I assumed I would receive confirmation of my selection. However, halfway through our meal, I noticed another table enjoying a 7-course service, and no one had confirmed our course choice. When we inquired about switching to the 7-course option, we were told that it would disrupt the dining experience since we were already well into the meal. Instead, we were offered to pay almost RM200 to “top-up” for lobster—which essentially brought the price in line with the 7-course meal. I requested an extra amuse-bouche to match the 7-course offering, only to be met with a condescending remark from the staff - “your piece of lobster is bigger” (Really? Let me attach a photo for you to judge) Proceeded to top up anyway to see what’s the hype on the lobster about. (Please don’t bother) This totally spoil our mood and lost my appetite. I did not even finish the rest of the course meal and taking a bite or two just to taste. At this point I just wanted go home. The experience was further marred by the wine pairing. On one occasion, the staff poured our wine without any explanation or introduction, which detracted from the overall experience. At dessert, we were asked if we wanted tea or coffee without being informed that there was an additional RM40 (excluding taxes) charge for two cups of black coffee—mediocre at best. It’s not that we mind paying for the coffee but it would nice to let us know imo? Paying nearly RM2,500 for what turned out to be a subpar experience at a Michelin star establishment was extremely disappointing. I expected a level of service and communication commensurate with the restaurant’s reputation and price point. Ps/ nobody introduced the meaning behind “Molina” lol we had to ask and ok it’s a good name honestly

The food, dessert, and cheese were excellent—beautifully presented, perfectly balanced in flavor. However, the service left room for improvement. Wine glasses arrived with noticeable watermarks and stains on the rim, requiring them to be returned twice. Additionally, the dessert wine, which was meant to accompany the dessert, was only served after we requested it. Overall it was a good experience but the service shortcomings detracted slightly from what should have been a Michelin 1-star dining experience.

Had the experience to dine here for a friend’s bday and it was truly a Michelin star experience from every well thought out dish, to the impeccable service and perfect ambience. The restaurant also has a gorgeous view of the twin towers. The hostess aaliya was so sweet and attentive; one of the chefs Emily also did an amazing introduction of the final desserts. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quality dining experience and would definitely be back!

Molina the latest starred restaurant in KL after just barely 6 months into its opening . It’s very hard for me to give a 5 stars to anyone except perhaps to a 3 stars Michelin restaurant where service down to the ambience and food have to be perfect . On this evening , I opted for the 5 course dinner and real buy it doesn’t from the start to the end . The kitchen headed by Chef Guillaume and Jason are impeccable. The front of house lady Robin and her crew are also fantastic . Highlight for us was the Brussels sprout dish with the caviar . No more no less just 5g of it so that the dish is perfect said Chef Guillaume . Even the brioche bread soak in butter is to die for . It has been a while since I have a meal that the flavor are so balance , flavorful and complex . This is not an easy task for a chef and even so for a 27 yrs old young chef . This restaurant in my words will be heading for its second star next year and even in the future for ⭐️⭐️⭐️ if the chef understand and push his know how in Asian palate . The Hanwoo beef is something that I do prefer over the Japanese waygu as doesn’t have that too fatty filling when it goes into your stomach . Overall superb and I shall be back again next month for the updated menu

Was here for a wine dinner and for me the food here was impeccable. Young and talented chef from Belgium helmed the kitchen here and all the dishes we had were really delicious. I like the European style fine dining and certainly their Hanwoo beef here stands out. The view is also impressive in addition to the delicious dinner.

Molina: A Cut Above in KL's Fine Dining Scene. In Kuala Lumpur, finding fine dining that truly lives up to the hype can be a challenge. However, Molina delivered and deserving of their 1-Michelin star. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was sophisticated and inviting. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Every plate of the 5-course menu was incredible - so well thought out, consistent, and beautifully executed. We were relieved the menu wasn't just a series of small bites; each dish was a complete and satisfying experience. The Dutch chef's signature style shone through - a true European experience without any unnecessary fusion twists. It was refreshing to see a chef confidently present their own unique vision. We were particularly impressed by the dessert course. The petit four trolley was a delightful experience, offering a stunning array of bite-sized delicacies. Molina elevates the standard of fine dining in KL, and will definitely return for their 7-course menu.
