One of YTL's latest luxury hotel, Hotel Stripes an Autograph Collection Hotels has opened its doors recently in the downtown of Kuala Lumpur. We were very honoured to be invited to preview its casual French dining restaurant, Brasserie 25 which is located at the lobby level of the hotel.
Upon entering the restaurant, we are absolutely amazed by the rustic charm, red brick arcades, mid-century copper sputnik chandeliers, elegant furnitures and wooden floors.
If you fancy a Le goûter indulgence, at Brahere's your chance to experience an afternoon tea with a French twist at Brasserie 25. The afternoon tea is available from 3pm to 6pm priced at RM60nett per pax comes with a good variety of refillable savouries and sweets with a choice of either coffee or tea.
Savouries - Sardine puff, Vegetable spring roll and Fries with sambal.
The deep fried items were decent, though the choices for savouries are much more limited compared to sweet.

Items served will be on a rotation basis daily. It's a pity we didn't get to try macaron during our visit. Oh well.... nevertheless, it was a wonderful le gouter.
After our relaxing tea session, we also stayed on for dinner. Brasserie 25 modern cuisine uses fresh, locally produced ingredients offering an exquisite dining experience.

Soupe A L'oignon RM30
Comforting French onion soup with croutons and cheese. Flavour wise is good, but IMHO it would taste even better if the texture was a tad thicker.
