Cafés Richard
Established in year 1982, this No. 1 coffee roaster in France has shown his face up in Genting Highlands. The café is dressed in a monochrome tone; plastered with classic black and white mosaic floor tiles, cloth awnings and raffia wicker chairs facing the walkway, Cafés Richard has meticulously recreated the quintessential Parisian café at Sky Avenue.

French afternoon tea doesn’t come with the tier as they prefer to keep things simple and place the petite delicacies on a contrast plating. So here, you won’t be able to see the 3-tier pastry stand pairing with the fine bone china cups and plate.

Their savoury set was what I love most! Every bit of them were very well balance. Love the foie gras on the crunchy toasted baguette, also the special yet refreshing crab, avocado and lemon zest salad. Also, I must highlight that their macaron wowed me too. The macarons were not cloyingly sweet at all, just right to my palate. Crème brulee was another good stuff to try; it was eggy, creamy and smooth. Do come in a bigger gang and so you may order the Le Gestin set that offers full selection of goods to be shared among the gang.
