Molina sits proudly on the 51st floor of The FACE Style Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, offering more than just top-notch fine dining — it delivers a visual feast alongside the food.
Under the meticulous direction chef Sidney Schutte of two-MICHELIN-Starred Spectrum in Amsterdam and one-MICHELIN-Starred Cocina de Autor Los Cabos in Mexico, this place is an exercise in combining the bold, the beautiful, and the utterly unexpected. The menu reads like a love letter to avant-garde European cooking with a few thrilling twists, like Hanwoo beef, Morel, Mulberry, and Lovage (pictured above), a dish as rich in texture as it is in flavour. This is fine dining that’s as thoughtful as it is inventive, with a view that could make even the most jaded diner take a pause.
Newly minted with its first MICHELIN Star, the innovative restaurant is a bit of a breath of fresh air in Kuala Lumpur’s fine dining scene. While many restaurants are dead-set on showcasing local Malaysian produce, Molina dares to do something different with its bold European flavours — infusing French techniques, Northern European sensibilities (thanks to Schutte’s Dutch roots), and a clever sprinkling of Asian influence. It’s creative, inventive, and anything but predictable.
