Le Midi: A Parisian Escape in the Heart of Kuala Lumpur

Apr 18, 2025 | Food & Beverage

Perched on the 32nd floor of the Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Le Midi has swiftly ascended as a premier destination in the city’s upscale dining scene since its debut in March 2024. In less than a year of operation, the restaurant has already garnered international acclaim, receiving its first global award—a testament to its exceptional culinary artistry and unparalleled dining experience.

This sophisticated French-inspired establishment seamlessly blends three distinct concepts, a chic brasserie, an elegant bar and a breathtaking outdoor terrace, each offering a unique yet harmonious experience. With its Parisian charm, impeccable service and panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur’s glittering skyline, Le Midi promises an unforgettable culinary journey for discerning locals and international guests alike.

An Ode to French Gastronomy

At Le Midi, the essence of French cuisine is celebrated through time-honoured techniques and the finest ingredients sourced from across France. Standout classics include the Escargot à la Provençale, bathed in garlic and herb butter; the Marseille Bouillabaisse, a fragrant seafood stew brimming with the freshest catch; and the Alsatian Tarte Flambée, a delicate thin-crust creation topped with crème fraîche, onions and smoked duck. For those seeking a truly indulgent experience, the Le Bœuf—a masterfully grilled Australian Black Angus sirloin with Béarnaise sauce—showcases the restaurant’s commitment to premium cuts and expert preparation.

A Trio of Refined Experiences

Whether guests seek a leisurely afternoon cocktail, an intimate dinner, or a soirée under the stars, Le Midi offers three distinct settings to suit every occasion.

  • The Brasserie: Designed with Parisian elegance in mind, the brasserie exudes timeless sophistication with its plush banquettes, soft lighting and refined décor. Here, diners can enjoy traditional French fare in an atmosphere that balances warmth with grandeur.
  • The Bar: A spirited sanctuary offering French wines, crafted cocktails, inventive mocktails and premium draught beers. Enjoy all-day happy hour from 3pm on weekdays and noon on weekends—the perfect accompaniment to breathtaking skyline views.
  • The Terrace: Arguably the crown jewel of Le Midi, the open-air terrace offers an enchanting escape with its unobstructed city views. As dusk falls, the space transforms into a romantic retreat, ideal for sipping champagne or savouring a multi-course dinner beneath the stars.

A Maestro at the Helm

Leading Le Midi’s culinary brigade is Chef de Cuisine Noor Azan bin Hassan, a seasoned maestro with nearly two decades of expertise in French and European cuisine. Having honed his craft in five-star kitchens across Paris, Switzerland, Dubai, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia, Chef Noor Azan brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to every plate.

“I am proud to introduce a spectacular dining experience at Le Midi that stays true to the origins of French culinary artistry,” says Chef Noor Azan. “French cuisine is often perceived as elaborate, but at its core, it is about comfort, tradition and soul. I invite Malaysians to explore the authentic flavours of France, from rustic Provençal dishes to the refined techniques of haute cuisine.”

An Exquisite Setting for Unforgettable Celebrations

Beyond its reputation as a culinary gem, Le Midi has become one of Kuala Lumpur’s most unique venues for private events. The restaurant’s versatile spaces can accommodate gatherings of up to 100 guests, making it an ideal choice for everything from romantic wedding receptions and solemnisation ceremonies, to high-profile corporate soirées. Whether hosting an intimate tea ceremony, a lavish product launch, or a sophisticated client appreciation dinner, milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, fashionable trunk shows and even whimsical baby showers, Le Midi makes sure to transform special moments into extraordinary experiences against the glittering tapestry of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline.
