The story

Molina, Kuala Lumpur – Michelin-Starred European Fine Dining with Asian Soul

A Culinary Dream Realised

Molina occupies level 51 of The Face Style, with the Kuala Lumpur skyline as its backdrop. The restaurant is the realisation of Chef Sidney Schutte’s lifelong dream: to blend an avant-garde European fine dining approach with the extraordinary local ingredients found in Asia. The result is a menu that is both distinct and memorable, drawing on the chef’s deep-rooted passion for seafood and vegetables, honed through French culinary training and a youth spent by the seaside.

Chef Sidney Schutte

Chef Schutte’s cooking is informed by his travels across Asia, where each encounter with local flavours feels, in his words, “like hitting the culinary jackpot.” His expertise lies in bringing a taste of the sea alongside the bounty of the land, carefully curating dishes that reflect the vibrant energy of the city outside. This philosophy, rooted in European technique but open to the diversity of the region, earned Molina a Michelin star in 2026 for high quality cooking.

The Setting

The restaurant’s fine dining atmosphere is set against the ever-changing skyline of Kuala Lumpur, combining meticulous service with the energy of the city. The wine list is thoughtfully selected to complement the seasonal menu, and private dining is available for more intimate gatherings.
