44 Persiaran Zaaba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
DC. by Darren Chin is a verified Kuala Lumpur fine-dining restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, at 44 Persiaran Zaaba. The MICHELIN Guide page confirms the exact address, identifies it as French contemporary cuisine and notes that the restaurant holds One MICHELIN Star in the 2026 Kuala Lumpur & Penang guide. MICHELIN also describes a distinctive three-storey layout divided into bars and dining rooms, with a Louis XIII-themed private room, which makes the physical set-up part of the experience rather than simple backdrop. The menu structure is similarly clear in current source material. MICHELIN states that diners choose from four- to seven-course menus, including a vegetarian option, and highlights a style that moves from modern classics such as sole meunière and freshly made pasta to more original dishes with Japanese accents. The same source lists a cheese trolley with around 20 choices, reinforcing that this is a full-evening restaurant rather than a short tasting counter. Access is straightforward but reservation-led: MICHELIN says bookings are not available through its own platform, provides the restaurant website and phone number, and lists dinner service from Tuesday to Sunday, with Monday closed. For this ranking, it stands as one of central Kuala Lumpur’s established chef-driven destinations with a clearly documented identity and current operation.
