Maison Francaise
Maison Francaise, also known as The French House, is not like what you would expect of a fine dining restaurant. It is not located in an upscale building nor a high-end shopping mall. Instead, it is a three-storey bungalow situated at Jalan Changkat Kia Peng, Kuala Lumpur.
Suanie, who runs a popular blog called As Suanie Sees It, visited Maison Francaise in December 2013.
One of the menu items she tried was the roasted black Angus beef tenderloin with pumpkin puree and green peppercorn sauce. She described the dish as exquisite and that's the only word she can think of for it. You should definitely give it a try this Valentine's Day.
Suanie also complimented the staffs at Maison Francaise too for being attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.
