This ridiculously romantic restaurant is huge, giving you ample opportunity to steal kisses from your beau; there are plenty of quiet corners where others can’t encroach on your privacy. Chef Jerome Voltat’s degustation at our time of visit saw chilled cucumber gazpacho served with locally made buffalo mozzarella cheese, wild-caught grouper from the island itself, and lots of local herbs, which point at the chef’s love of local produce—this plus the stunning views of the rainforest put The Dining Room high in our list of recommended eats in Langkawi.
