Chilli Vanilla

Top choice in Kota Kinabalu


This cosy bijou cafe is run by a Hungarian chef and is a real fave with travellers thanks to its eclectic, well-thought-out menu. The Middle Eastern platter makes for an excellent light lunch for two. Mains include goulash, Moroccan lamb stew, chilli-chocolate braised beef, excellent pasta and gourmet burgers. Wine is available by the glass or bottle.
