Cafe BLD @ Renaissance Johor Bahru
Housed in one of the most iconic hotels in Malaysia, Cafe BLD offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet that is up to the hotel’s celebrity status. We have been told to dine like a King for the first meal of the day, but are we actually served like a King? This cosy and spacious cafe has that sorted out with a mouthwatering mashup of local delights. Not to be missed are their freshly done waffles and pancakes, Penang Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Ayam Rendang, amazing range of aromatic bread, doughnuts, French pastries and many more with assorted condiments that include Nutella. Not a breakfast person, you’ll still be generously served like a King, be it lunch or dinner, where towering white chocolate fondue, staggering choices of seafood on ice beds and roasted meats join the feast. Juices are praiseworthy too.

The Grand Gem
Keep your eyes peeled while walking in this exquisite restaurant that just transports you to North Indian with a backdrop beaming with authentic decorations and ornaments, that beg to be a part of your Instagram feeds. Matching the ambience, the food awakens your palate with rich spices and eyes with colours, and the best time to do so is on Fridays and weekends, during the buffet lunch. Each dish is dressed to kill, and recommended must-tries are their lamb curry, smorgasbord grilled meats, rumali roti and bouncy naans. What better way to end an Indian meal than a greasy and vibrant array of Indian sweets! Certainly in a different league in the list yet has a sensuality of its own.
Harbour Cafe @ Hotel Jen
This spacious and sophisticated eatery has various sections that come with equal panache. The photogenic atmosphere is chock-full with fresh seafood, sizzling and spiced-up tandoor meats, finely-sliced sashimis, baskets of dim sums and impeccable local favourites, such as Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak and many more. The main magnetic appeal for sweet-tooth lovers is their lofty double chocolate fondue, a mixture of white and milk chocolate side by side. Just dunk your sugary morsels in the cascading syrup that is worth binging all day long. Feast your tummy with lavish vibes towing along.
