If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Xiaohongshu lately, you’ve likely spotted The Courtyard Place — a charming spot in Eco Palladium that’s been making the rounds on foodie lists and cafe must-visits.
The wide-ranging menu from Western to Asian delights, leans slightly upscale in price but feels fair considering the ambience. One of the standout signatures is the Sizzling Black Pepper Beef with Fried Rice at RM23.90.
If you’re in the mood to treat yourself, the AU Ribeye Steak Frites with Salad (RM58.80) is another crowd-favourite worth the splurge. It features a tender Australian ribeye steak, perfectly seared and served alongside crisp potato fries, a refreshing garden salad, and a rich house-made mayo that ties everything together.
There are also pasta options if that’s your kind of vibe. The Shangtang Lala Pasta (RM25.90) is spicy, gingery, and brimming with clams, while the Midnight Squid Pasta (RM35.90) arrives jet-black from squid ink, topped with a whole grilled squid and a spicy, creamy sauce.
For those who believe dessert should never be an afterthought, The Courtyard Place delivers with waffles that feel more like centrepieces than sides. The Mango Tango Charcoal Waffle (RM23) comes crowned with mango ice cream, silky mango pudding, fresh mango chunks, a bright mango compote, and a sprinkle of peanut crumbs.
