Entier French Dining

Providing good reason to check-in at Alila Bangsar, a boutique hotel on the periphery of the affluent suburb, Entier French Dining specialises in French fare minus the white tablecloths and high airs. Call us biased, but it’s impossible not to feel allied with the restaurant when all their ingredients hail from our favourite suppliers; think locally harvested caviar from T’lur Caviar, heirloom vegetables from Weeds & More, single-origin cocoa from Chocolate Concierge, et cetera. True to the restaurant’s name, Entier would indubitably get Fergus Henderson’s nod of approval for adhering to the nose-to-tail principle. Ox tongue is turned into a confit with coffee beans, chicken feet finds new expression in a citrusy soup, and duck head is presented in all its gory glory alongside pâté. Where libations are concerned, the Laurent Robert Cuvée Prestige Brut seamlessly pairs with everything, from starter to dessert.

TATLER TIP

Comprised of two or three courses, Entier’s weekday lunch sets respectively priced at $58 and $80 are one of the great pleasures we get out of our working days.
