Lisette’s Cafe & Bakery, Sunway 163 Mall

The Bangsar cafe is here to stay with a solid location in Mont Kiara

Lisette’s Cafe & Bakery is yet another popular Bangsar eatery getting a piece of the Mont Kiara action. Securing prime real estate in Sunway 163 Mall, Lisette’s is always busy with families and fashionable brunchers.

Ambience & Amenities

Lisette’s Cafe & Bakery has three different dining areas with their own distinct vibe. The main dining room is snug and lit by warm bulbs. The sunroom at the front of the cafe is very bright with a view of Jalan Kiara. Finally, the indoor patio is lush with lots of plants and splashes of colour.

There is a handwashing station inside the restaurant, next to the kitchen window. There is no toilet, however. To get to the nearest mall facilities, exit Lisette’s (either from the front entrance or the patio entrance) and turn left. The mall’s toilets are in the corridor with the elevators and car park entrance.

Menu at Lisette’s

Every table will have a QR menu. Physical menus exist, but you have to ask for them. Lisette’s has an international menu with a large breakfast section. Most of the pastries in the cabinet are on the QR menu, but it doesn’t hurt to check them out at the front entrance. Filtered water used to be free, but now costs 50 sen per glass.

Food at Lisette’s

We ordered a Flat White (RM12) with Oat Milk (RM2 extra) and a Moonlit Island Breeze (RM16) to drink. The tropical cooler was much better than I expected. Lots of sweetness without being too much, with the tingle of spicy ginger at the back of my throat after every sip.

The Eggs Benedict Beef Bacon (RM38) is two eggs on a thick slice of bread. There was decent runniness to the egg when we cut into it. Mark enjoyed the bread, which was soft and tasted like it was seasoned with garlic butter. The beef bacon makes this dish. The bites I had without any bacon were a little bland. This is one of the most expensive egg bennies we’ve had, and in my opinion, it’s not worth it.

I got the Beef Pie with Mash and Gravy (RM36). The gravy looked so thick, almost like sambal. The crust is thick and buttery. When I cut a wedge out, the pie stayed very clean. There was no crumbling pastry or filling spilling out. The filling was very flavourful with tender beef. I put small dollops of gravy onto my pie, which elevated the taste. The pie barely needs it, but there was more than enough gravy.

Saturday Worthy?

Lisette’s has fallen out of our favour over the years. During meal times, the cafe is always full and the only seats available are in the main dining room that we hate sitting in. It’s dark in there, and the people at the next table are so close that they’re within arms reach. It’s simply not a pleasant dining experience. The prices are also much too expensive for the portion sizes. We go to VCR or Ra-Ft for brunch now, and only come to Lisette’s for cake.
