TRACE Restaurant and Bar in Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

"I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The environment is very nice and cozy with a beautiful view, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was superb and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, especially from Mr. Ulan and Mr. Ratsi, who were very welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. The chefs were also very friendly and took the time to check on guests for feedback. Special thanks to Chef Azam and Chef Eirfan for making this experience even more memorable. Highly recommended, and I will definitely come back again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"I would like to compliment Ms. Mandy for her excellent hospitality in serving our table tonight. I would also like to commend the staff in charge of the Laksa and Pani Puri stations. They were very helpful and went the extra mile to assist us. The food was wonderful, and the overall experience was very pleasant. I will definitely recommend this place to my office mates and look forward to visiting again. Thank you once again"

"Enjoyed the breakfast at TRACE Restaurant. The buffet had a good variety — from fresh fruits and pastries to local Malaysian dishes and Western options. The food quality was good, and everything was well-prepared. The dining area is bright with a nice city view, making mornings feel relaxing. Staff were polite and quick to clear tables. Overall, a pleasant breakfast experience with a comfortable atmosphere."

"Went for their Land Meats Sea platter. They were grilled to perfection. Taste good and great combination of seafood and meat. Very generous portion sufficient for 2 to 3 persons. Strongly recommended. Discount available for club Marriott member."

"Food: 3/5 Stars The only highlights were the grilled foods including prawns, fishes, squids and chicken satay, all juicy and succulent. Desserts were quite impressive also. However, the rest of the items were mediocre and nothing to shout about. The frozen "yong tau foo" must have been kept for too long some of them even tasted rancid. Environment: 5/5 Stars The view outside the windows was truly aesthetic and majestic. Whole place was spacious and seating arrangement was comfortable. Ambience was also cozy and not noisy. Service: 5/5 Stars The receptionist was patient in explaining the buffet details and making the reservation. On site, the waiters and waitresses were attentive and responsive. Swift in cleaning the table and changing plates. Location: 5/5 Stars Strategically located in one of the most happening areas in down town. Price: 3/5 Stars A bit on the high side, comparing with same type of buffet offered by other hotels of similar league. Overall: 4/5 Stars"

"TRACE Restaurant & Bar I recently dined at TRACE Restaurant & Bar in Menara Ilham and decided to try their nasi lemak—and I’m glad I did. The restaurant itself has a modern, polished atmosphere. With its sleek interior and floor-to-ceiling windows, it feels upscale yet relaxed. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a business lunch as it does for a casual catch-up with friends. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between contemporary elegance and comfort. Now, the nasi lemak. Presentation-wise, it looked refined and thoughtfully plated, giving a classic Malaysian dish a slightly elevated touch. The coconut rice was fragrant and fluffy, with just the right level of richness. The sambal had a satisfying kick—spicy, slightly sweet, and not overpowering. The crispy anchovies and peanuts added texture, and the egg and accompaniments rounded everything out nicely. It felt authentic but with a subtle premium twist that matches the setting. Service was attentive and professional. Staff were friendly without being intrusive, and the overall dining experience felt smooth and well-managed. Overall, TRACE offers a pleasant dining experience in a stylish setting. If you’re at Menara Ilham and craving a more refined take on a Malaysian favorite like nasi lemak, this spot is definitely worth a visit."

"Great place for dinner dates or hangout with friends or family. Ordered their “Land Meats Sea “ , the portion were generous ideal for 2-3 person. The ambiance is good, the view is great. Worth the money!"

"We returned to Element because of the spacious room, overall convenience, and of course—we missed dining at TRACE Restaurant. The warm and attentive service from the team, led by Moses, made our dinner even more enjoyable. Kudos to the chef for the delicious meal! Apologies for not finishing the Brisket Pasta—we were simply too full. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. We’ll definitely be back again!"
