French contemporary in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur
DC. by Darren Chin
Twenty Cheeses, No Rush
DC. fills three floors in TTDI with bars, dining rooms and a private room themed after Louis XIII, which is a very specific kind of confidence. The 2026 Michelin Guide gives it a star for a French contemporary kitchen that has solid technique and good produce from abroad. It is a restaurant that covers a lot of ground, and the surprise is that it does not wobble.
The menu runs from modern classics, such as French roast chicken and fresh pasta, to more unusual creations. There are omakase, seasonal and vegetarian menus, so a mixed table can eat together without anyone complaining. The showpiece is the cheese trolley, with twenty choices. I trust any kitchen that lets you wander through twenty cheeses without rushing you to the next course.
Check the days. It is closed Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are dinner only, Friday and Saturday add lunch from noon to 3pm, and Sunday is dinner. Price is in the top tier, so budget accordingly. Go with people who like to linger, and do not skip the trolley.
