After a long day.. This is the place we had our dinner. This restaurant located at Metropolitan Square [City Bank building] in Damansara Perdana. When we step in the restaurant, no other customer, a very quiet place suit 2 of us, kind of romantica =p We ordered their New Year Eve's Menu.. which comes with a Bowl of Soup + Salad + Main Course +Dessert = Price from RM65++ to RM138++
Main Course, choice of :-
Charbroiled Aust. Chilled Wagyu /

Grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet

Ice Honey Lemon - RM6.50

A thick and creamy Wild Mushroom soup, the tiny croutons I think is butter croissant taste crunchy and enhance the flavour of the soup.. Love it!

Salad - Mix Fruit with Cold Prawns [small portion]

Here comes the Signature dish of the night! Seriously, I'm not attracted by it self at first sight.. serve with vegetable, slices of potato [for presentation purpose, maybe..haha] and mustard, wanted to taste the original so I didn't take any sauce..

Wagyu steak served in medium, is recommended. Char-broil cooking method able to keep the steak moist and juicy - never dry. Moreover, inside was pink and the taste is superb, you will Love the tenderness and juiciness of the beef. Wagyu is also known as one of the best beef in the world [for more info, you may google/wiki about it] I cut it into small pieces and enjoy every bite! Is a Must Try when u dine in here.. 2 thumbs up!
There is a grading for Wagyu Beef and grade 9 is the maximum. The one I had was Grade 5.
Steak lovers, I bet you will crazy for this Wagyu beef ^^


Fish and Chips - RM19.00 Spot the different here with others fish and chips? Usually at others western restaurant Dory fish is used to prepare this dish, but at Maria's Cafe they used Garoupa [I never heard about it before] the meat is fresh and tender inside..Deep fried in golden and crispy outside.. Good! Erm.. their french fried is huge..


Dessert - Orange Prune Cake with dashes of caramel by it side.. taste like normal raisin fruit cake

Yvonne ^^

This cabinet is full with bottles of wine.. Price, unknown..LoL

Beverage and dessert counter.. they serve variety of delicious dessert and English favorites with high demand from customers

Cozy and warm dining restaurant with simple yet stylish interior design..

This is a separate hall with different seating..

There is no direct staircase / lift to this restaurant. You need to take lift on the right of Citibank to L3 and follow the direction then you will be able to find them. Below Maria cafe is a German restaurant.

Love it! for sure, I will back here again for other food. If you are craving for Premium Beef steak, here will be the right place for you, Try their Wagyu Beef.

Operating for business more than 30 years, a historical dim sum shop!
