  4. Rank 2. Cilantro

    French

    A French fine dining room inside a hotel suite property in Taman U Thant, run by a chef who once cooked at the Japanese Embassy and trained under some of France's heavy hitters. That background shows in the plates: French in spirit, Japanese in restraint, with European produce flown in within a day. Special menus track the seasons closely. The room has been around forever, which gives it the unhurried confidence that newer places tend to fake.


  5. Rank 2. Dominic

    Modern French

    The awards


  6. Rank 2. Entier

    Contemporary French


  7. Rank 2. Potager

    Contemporary French

    Oysters from Penang, vegetables from the Cameron Highlands, a leek and lemon foam that has no business being as elegant as it is. Potager is a contemporary French tasting menu restaurant tucked into a quiet Segambut address, running both a full dinner menu and a shorter lunch option built around Malaysian seasonal produce. The cooking is careful and composed, the kind of place where the sourcing does the talking.


  8. Rank 2. The Brasserie

    Modern French

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
