(REVIEW) Parkview Café at KLCC: KL’s Hidden Gem Serving Up Big Flavours & Even Better Views

We recently dropped by to check out the menu and soak in the views, and here’s what we thought:

The perfect blend of views and vibes

Perched on Level 1 of KLCC, Parkview Café isn’t just another dining spot, it’s a venue that combines good food with panoramic views of the 50-acre KLCC Park and the dazzling city skyline.

Meanwhile, there's seating options aplenty at Parkview Café so it doesn't matter if you’re an introvert looking for a cozy corner or a social butterfly, Parkview Café has you covered. With seating for 120 diners and event capacity for 70, the space morphs to meet your needs. Business meetings? Check. Lunch with the family and friends? Double check.

The café’s layout strikes the perfect balance between style and flexibility, creating a space that feels both functional and effortlessly comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers, adding a sense of openness and serenity that elevates the entire dining experience.

A diverse menu that has something for everyone

Parkview Café’s menu is a vibrant tribute to Malaysia’s rich culinary tapestry, offering a delicious mix of tradition and innovation. From comforting local classics like nasi lemak and wantan noodle to bold, modern interpretations of regional favourites such as soba and linguini, every dish is crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

During our visit, we sampled a variety of dishes that showcased the café’s range. The Chicken Linguini (RM33) was a comforting classic—creamy, well-seasoned, and generously portioned, perfect for those who love a hearty pasta dish. The Frutti Di Mare Pizza (RM46) stood out with its crisp, thin crust and a generous topping of fresh tiger prawns and calamari.

For something lighter yet equally flavourful, the Teriyaki Salmon Soba (RM38) was a standout. The salmon was perfectly glazed and tender, paired with chilled soba noodles that added a refreshing contrast ideal for a midday meal in the heat. We also tried the Classic Caesar Salad with Chicken (RM28), which delivered on crunch and creaminess.

And it’s not just about the food. The beverage selection is equally thoughtful, featuring everything from rich, aromatic coffees to refreshing juices and teas that perfectly complement your meal. It’s a dining experience that feels complete, balanced, and genuinely satisfying.

Some of our favourites from the drinks menu were the Espresso Earl Grey Latte (RM24), Monochrome Bandung Latte (RM24), and the Coconut Shake (RM21), each one offering a unique twist on familiar flavours.

The Espresso Earl Grey Latte was a perfect balance of coffee and tea, blending the boldness of espresso with the floral, citrusy notes of Earl Grey. It’s the kind of drink that surprises you in the best way. The Monochrome Bandung Latte was a visual and flavourful treat, putting a modern, monochromatic spin on the nostalgic rose syrup drink we all know and love. And for something cool and tropical, the Coconut Shake hit all the right notes, creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet, making it the perfect pick-me-up.

Our verdict

Parkview Café isn’t just another spot to grab a bite, it’s a whole vibe. With its gorgeous views, chill atmosphere, and a menu that’s got something for everyone, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment.
