Bistro Richard

Kuala Lumpur


A French-style cafe-bar, complete with checked red tablecloths, in the surrounds of a Japanese-style garden and koi pond might be culturally confusing. Nonetheless, this bistro is a very pleasant place for a drink or meal.

Worth dropping by if you're attending a show at adjacent KL Performing Arts Centre.
