Danielle's, a charming cafe run by a cheerful Frenchwoman of the same name, is worth considering as a new lunchtime option for folks in the city center.
Customers are welcomed by a wide showcase of everything from croissants to confitures, creme caramel to eclairs, baguettes to meringue.
Located on the shopfront beside Tun Razak's Micasa hotel, with space for scarcely 20 patrons; head here early for a table or take away the food instead.
Tuna tartine, pleasurably built with crunchy bread and a creamy slathering of fish.
Duck pate with citrus peels. Rustically coarse, supplying a respectable chew and meaty flavor.

Ratatouille quiche, hot and fresh-tasting, decisively buttery and determinedly eggy.
Equality, fraternity: Danielle's obtains macarons from Nathalie's, so purchase any number of the caramel, lemon or chocolate flavors with complete confidence.
Skip the coffee here though; not really a brew we can recommend wholeheartedly.
Tables by the window are nice. Not a Parisian street scene, but still better than some views.
Bonus: From Danielle's, it's barely a two-minute walk to The Deli at Micasa, where more French and European fare, from croque monsieur to steak ! tartare, can be found.
Can't resist a Wagyu beef burger that costs only RM20++. And it's not a bad burger, thanks to a patty that's as juicy as can be.
Duck confit, a relative bargain for RM17++. Decent, though something's missing here, maybe more satisfyingly crisp skin or a fattier, fuller flavor.
Caramel and chestnut ice cream, RM10++ for two scoops. Maintaining the could-be-better theme, this is worthwhile but pales in comparison to, say, Forty Licks.
Tea and coffee are available, but as with Danielle's, wine is not served at The Deli.
Micasa Hotel, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur.
Danielle's opens through 6pm weekdays, earlier Saturdays and is closed Sundays.
