With some restaurants sold out weeks in advance, booking a reservation is proving to be a current challenge. Dining cosily in a low-lit room is the signature option for romantic dining, but more casual settings also prove popular. And Kuala Lumpur is a city full of options that run the gamut of tastes, styles, and activities: some have incredible views, others include bars. To help with the planning process below is a handy list of some of the best first date restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

BLONDE at Republik in Damansara Heights offers "fine comfort food" with Asian influences. It's amazing to find a café that goes against the grain and isn't bound by convention. Blonde's food is not only beautifully plated but the balance of textures and flavours in each dish has been carefully considered. It's a lovely setting with a tasty menu to match. Contemporary international cuisine is presented beautifully in a chic setting with friendly staff.

While sipping a Bocorita (The restaurant’s version of Margarita), you can escape the concrete jungle. The ambience at Botanica + co will calm you down. The restaurant has a glass exterior that wraps around it, creating an uninterrupted connection between the interior and exterior spaces while also providing a refuge from the outside world. Share the cheese soufflé with her, and don't skip the banana crumble for dessert.

The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, with splashes of pastel pink, forest green, gold, and wood accents decorating the dining space. It's impossible not to be smitten by the charming interior! If you have the opportunity, take a seat by the window and take in the view of the lush greenery and natural light streaming in.

Rustic with cast-in-place pillars and counters, tasteful with a leathery-leafed kelat nenasi tree reaching to the ceiling. The restaurant promises captivating points of view: it was co-founded by a Malaysian who found inspiration in Milan.
Apollo represented illumination, entertainment, and health, all of which were on display. With sunlight streaming in through the skylight, Gregory Porter crooning from the speakers, and nourishing temptations flowing out to the tables.

The curved ceiling, which immediately draws the eye, was meticulously painted and repainted. It has the looks of porphyritic copper rooftops with gold leaf to elevate the vintage look. Drop-lights hang from the ceiling to make it complete. The atmosphere is one of casual romantic love, which is ideal for a first date. It's a place where you can spend the afternoon snacking on delicious sharing-sized dishes or homemade pastries.
