As far as restaurants go, Cezanne is as anomalous as they come. To begin with, there is no actual sign to indicate that you’ve arrived at the restaurant, which is secreted within Qing Arts Club – an art gallery in Kuala Lumpur boasting a motley assortment of art pieces from both Asian as well as international artists.

But walk straight on from the main door and you’ll discover another door that leads to a small dining space and a wine cellar. This is not Cezanne either.
