Who cares about the prices, or what the food is like, if you can dine with this amazing
view of the city skyline! Fortunately chef Chris Bauer's imaginative dishes, all lovingly
detailed on the menu, generally hit the mark. Watch you don't step off the carpet into the
reflecing pools as you totter on your Manolos to your seat!
The three-course set lunch is an affordable way to experience the space; or you could
try Strato (

night Mon-Thu, 11am-1am Fri, 9.30am-1am Sat, 9.30am-5pm Sun; Ampang Park)
Blink and you might be
in a chic bistro in New York, Paris or Sydney. There are tasty nibbles such as root veget-
able truffled fries and chilled sugar snap peas if you're not so hungry, and bigger dishes
such as lamb shoulder marinated in
kicap
(a type of soy sauce) for larger appetites. It's a
great choice for a lazy weekend brunch.
The outdoor section is kept cool by a clever system of under-table air-conditioning.

Appealing bakery, cake shop and cafe in a quiet part of the city centre. The outdoor patio
is a pleasant spot for a Western-style breakfast, light lunch or tea-time treat, and the
pastries are very good.

If it's fine dining Italian-style you're after, then il Lido delivers handsomely with
lovely homemade pasta, fish and meat dishes. There's an exclusive club feel to the soph-

course set lunch is RM50.
