This is the type of place where staff remember your name and first time customers soon become repeats, sometimes coming for lunch and returning a few hours later for dinner. With pool and garden views, a quiet homey feel and food cooked on the spot - Croisette Cafe is ideal for lingering. The simple, relaxed ambience murmuring with gentle French tunes is perfect for enjoying the company of friends and family over an unhurried meal. The friendly owners Michelle and Pier describe the concept as French, organic and affordable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The location allows running costs to be kept low with the savings passed on to customers. You could easily pay double for the same cuisine in a hotel or nearby mall. A glance at the menu shows prices ranging from 1.80RM for garlic bread, to 16RM for pasta to the most expensive meal of Rib Eye Beef at 44.50RM. Many ingredients are sourced locally where possible but some things, such as organic herbs, are imported. Mains are coded into organic and free range and for the most part are reminiscent of delicious home cooking. Above you'll see a range of fare beginning with the starters: Golden Pumpkin Veloute and Wild Mushroom soups - fresh and not overly blended enabling the individual taste and texture of the vegetables to be evident; Classic Ceaser Salad - egg, lettuce, croutons and house made dressing; Margarita Rotizza - ingenious use of a flaky roti canai base topped with tomatoes, cheese and pistou (olive oil, rock salt, sweet basil & garlic.) The pictured mains are hearty simple French fare: free range chicken Coq au Riesling with crushed baked potato; Organic Beef Bourguignon - lovely red wine sauce with fresh organic herbs excellent for sopping up with bread; free range Duck Comfit - so flavourful with the classic French base of onion, garlic and butter being obvious served on suateed potato slices; and Duck Breast with Rasberry Sauce - a popular dish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mains aside, Croisette Cafe is deserving of a visit based solely on dessert. Don't even bother feigning to share The Chocolate Orange Parfait - it is so divinely creamy, smooth and chocolaty that you'll want one all to yourself. Running a close second (debatable though - girlfriends say these are number one) are the Blood Orange Chocolate Cake and the Triple Choc Mousse. But that's just female opinion. According to hubby the Black Forest Cake - assembled a little differently to what you'd expect with more creamy layers and less cake - and the Passion Indulgence - creme brulee, white chocolate cream and passionfruit, are at the top of the list. I suppose I'll have to return to test them all again to see if my ratings change ;-). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And... what is French food without wine? In line with the "keeping it affordable" philosophy, bottles are available from 65 - 120RM - a look at some of the restaurants just down the road at BSC will see the same 65RM bottle being sold for 128RM... Need I say more? Freshly squeezed juices and Illy coffee are worth a mention too. As they're not yet equipped with a full coffee machine it's best to go with an espresso or macchiato - I can vouch for both. Not on the menu, but available by request, is a Classic French cocktail (not yet named) - a refreshing mix of vodka, lime, mint, sugar and sprite - that goes down cooly on a warm day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Catering, delivery and cakes made-to-order are other things to get excited about. Stay tuned for some new additions too such as a garden seating area and Sunday brunches - coming up after Chinese New Year. Comfortable surroundings, affordable prices, memorable desserts and staff who make you feel part of the family - Croisette Cafe will see my patronage again and again.</div><br />Open Tues - Sunday<br />Lunch 11am - 2:45pm<br />Dinner 6pm - 10pm<br />Will be closed Tues to Thurs next week for CNY<br /><br />Croisette Cafe<br />28-0-03 Cascadium Condominium<br />Jalan Penaga<br />Bukit Bandaraya<br />59100 Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur<br />+603 2011 3344<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">016 330 4477</span></div>

Although a large area, there are sufficient nooks, corners, upstairs and private rooms for you to find a space to suit your needs, whether they be more intimate or centre stage. Given the setting is inviting lets move on to more important things... what to consume.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">Starting with the chef. Considering Chef Federico has an incredulous resume supporting him including formal training, three Michelin star restaurants and positions such as head chef for 100s of cooks for a large restaurant group all under his belt, he has a rather unpretentious attitude and vision for Pietro. He sees the dining trend moving away from the costly and complicated fine dining scenario to more of a trattoria style where service is friendly and the focus is on the food rather than the decoration. He claims the menu is simply prepared celebrating the flavours of each natural ingredient. And... after being invited to sample a number of courses, I have to agree. I was wowed by the sophisticated elementariness of each dish and especially enjoyed the profusion of fresh herbs used for seasoning. You won't find any of the dried bottled variety in this kitchen.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">To begin our deliciously uncomplicated meal you'll see, pictured above, focaccia with a salty olive tapenade and a buffalo mozzarella, tomato & rocket salad lightly dressed with olive oil, pepper and rock salt. Next, what should be on everyone's must order list, a remarkable goose liver pasta in a red wine reduction with fresh dill and chervil. Be sure to ask for some extra bread to soak up the remaining sauce (rather than crumbling to the desire to lick the bowl clean). Continuing our beguiling journey with some white flaky fish fillets (not sure of the name) served in a refreshingly light peppercorn sauce again teeming with fresh herbs abreast a pile of greens. A veal chop ensued, with a shallot and red wine reduction, creamy mashed potatoes, portobello mushrooms and baked onions. Again the seasoning was thrilling, so impulse control will be needed to curb the urge to stick your tongue out and lap it up directly from the plate. More than stuffed by this stage it is amazing how the smell of just baked pizza can get you salivating, which is just what happened when this beef carpaccio with rocket and finely shaved parmesan number was brought out. The crust, perfectly thin and chewy, evoked wonderful European memories. And just when you thought a tummy could take no more we went on with some sweets - smooth creamy pannacotta and warm chocolate malten lava pudding oozing with nectarous goo, berries and vanilla ice cream. Prices are reasonable taking into account quality and portions ranging from 12RM for a starter up to 98RM for wagyu beef.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But that's not all folks!  There are drinks to consider too. At this stage the wine menu is small consisting of a couple of varietals from Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain and Italy. The exciting news is that Pietro will shortly be sourcing their own wines directly from Italy for their soon to be opened wine bar. With many developments in the works over the next few weeks such as a garden courtyard and rooftop bar, the wine bar has to be one of the most anticipated. Customers will be able to purchase wines at retail prices, enjoy them at the bar or over in the restaurant. In the meantime though the current wine list is quite reasonably priced ranging from 100RM - 400RM per bottle with not too much of a mark up from what you'd find in the store. From the current drink list we began with a cool glass of Valdobbiadene Millesimato Prosecco Superior which had a fruity bouquet and an elegant balance of flavours, a perfect aperitif. Our dinner accompaniment was a reasonably priced (138RM) bottle of Ruffino Chianti Classico 2010, light and smooth all the way to the end with a hint of pepper at the finish - it went well with everything from bread, salad, mains all the way to dessert. Lastly a sip of limoncello to aid digestion completed the meal beautifully. There is nothing finer than enjoying wine and food together so the upcoming wine bar, making this option more accessible to the wallets of many, will be a welcome addition to the KL dining scene.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ambience, food and wine all got a thumbs up from me so judging by my first experience here, Pietro could easily become one of the preferred purlieus of the local gourmand gang.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pietro</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ristorante Italiano</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bangunan ECM Libra</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Damansara Heights</div><div style="text-align: justify;">50490 Kuala Lumpur</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Malaysia</div><div style="text-align: justify;">+6 03 2093 6433</div><div style="text-align: justify;">www.pietro.com.my</div></div></div>
