Surprisingly good for remote location!

Considering that nearly all the food and supplies for this restaurant at the Marriott in Mulu need to be transported by boat or plane, the food selections and quality are excellent. The breakfast buffet was especially good. Service was prompt and friendly.

Beautiful restaurant in magnificent Mulu

Nov 2023 • family

This cafe/ restaurant is attached to the Marriott Hotel in Mulu. The breakfast we had was buffet style and extensive and staff very attentive. I was looking forward to the Buffet for my birthday dinner but sadly that we’re only doing a la carte on the Sunday evening when we went.

Tasty and filling

A good restaurant given the only option at The Mulu Marriott. Some dishes occasionally are not available which is understandable. Keep an eye for any specials. Service staff also very attentive.

Good Malaysian dishes, hefty servings

Sept 2019 • none

Main strength of the cafe are the Malaysian dishes like the laksa, rendang, et al. Not so much the international dishes.

Been there for breakfast and dinner. The Char Kuey Tiaw for dinner is delicious with a very big prawn. Nasi Lemak for breakfasf is the must try. Sambal that comes with it is one of the delicious i have ever tasted.

Spent a short stay with my wife in this highly rated hotel. Ate in the M Cafe on the first night and was underwhelmed by the atmosphere - the service was attentive, but menu and food uninspired as we have travelled and eaten throughout SE Asia. Wine list limited (first choice of red wine was not available) and, in my opinion, expensive. My wife tried the local fern leaf salad with lime, but she found it very sour. My ‘fresh’ mushroom soup was very bland and tasted like it came from a packet. Mains were equally disappointing, with my strip lion beef overcooked, despite requesting medium rare. My wife’s lamb cutlets were cooked to her medium rare order, but fairly tasteless. Again, the accompanying pepper sauce for the steak and mushroom sauce for the lamb tasted like they were from a packet mix. And this from a five-star hotel. Breakfast was OK, but ate at the Tengaloh Cafe, just over the bridge from the resort, the following evening and experienced better food and better atmosphere for a fraction of the price. Most dishes come with boiled rice, but the lemongrass chicken, pork with black pepper sauce with a side order of finely cut runner beans with egg (finely sliced omelette) and onions were extremely tasty. You could taste the fresh ingredients used. I add this because previous reviews have mentioned that foodstuff to the Marriott has to be flown in. Not sure why this should compromise flavour. We even ordered an extra plate of ginger chicken. Don’t be put off by the basic exterior. We noted many tourists - both those using local Homestay accommodation and the Marriott - using this cafe. We enjoyed it so much we had lunch there the next day before leaving Mulu. Sorry, nothing to recommend M Cafe apart from being in the hotel!

Great variety in spacious lodge setting

Mar 2019 • family

The Mulu Marriott is quite isolated, so M Cafe is your only option for full-meal dining if staying here. Fortunately, the menu offers a good variety of options, to be enjoyed in a covered outdoor area by the pool or indoors in the main lodge. The breakfast buffet is also excellent, offering a great range of local, Chinese and western cuisine.

Lunch by the pool

Jan 2019 • family

Simple menu offered all day. They deliver to the pool too. Reasonably prices and very friendly service. If you are staying in the Marriott this is the only restaurant in the hotel, which for a couple of days is not a problem.

Food is ok, but limited in choice, and slightly discriminatory to Asians (who are not with Caucasians)

Sept 2018 • couples

We came here for the Café in Mulu Marriott during our stay here, as our breakfast and dinner meals were included in our package. For breakfast - it was a good spread of continental and local foods, with guava/dragonfruit smoothies which were very cool and tasty. The continental spread and fruits looked a bit stale, so we had the omelettes and oats and rest of the hot food, which was lovely and good. For dinner on the second night, my husband had the burger, while I had the unagi (which was amazing!) , the Sarawakian laksa, which was tasty and of a good portion size. For dinner on the third night, I had the unagi again while my husband had the 6 piece satay for starters, and for the mains, he had the burger again while I had the beef rendang which was very rich but ok. For the dessert of Gulu Melaka (I think), it was tasty and authentic. However, on the first night, I went alone for dinner, and was given a menu and told that I had to pay. Not sure if it is because I was a lone Asian woman going for dinner and they made assumptions, but not very welcoming on the first night, particularly when I was not feeling well. When my husband (he is caucasian) did attend with me for dinner for the next 2 nights, at least we were not asked to pay, and there was more attention to us (rather than the first night where I was left alone and no attention was paid to me by the waiting staff). But when we questioned how come the starters came with only 3 satay sticks, rather than 6 (which was on the menu), we were told by the waiter that for our package which was inclusive of dinner, the starters will be half the size as we were not paying the full price of the ala carte menu. When we questioned further, we were told that was how the inclusive package is, but that our main meal would be a 'normal' size. At no point were we made aware of the double standards of the inclusve package vs ala carte menu, so that was slightly off-putting. This incident, coupled with what seemed like discrimination from the waiting staff (perhaps because I was Asian, and did not come with a caucasian) was very disappointing, and goes down by 2 stars. As this is one of the few (single digit) places in mulu where you can get a meal (esp if you want any western cuisine), you are limited. If you don't mind good decent local food, I would suggest Benerat Lodge, where we went for our last meal in Mulu, and it was fantastic, homecooked, not too salty or rich, and decently delicious.

Treat yourself to an excellent meal in Mulu

Oct 2018 • couples

The restaurant at the Mulu Marriott Resort is an oasis of culinary delights, especially after a long of day of exploring the caves. The airconditioned area inside is cavernous with high ceilings and muted lighting and the outdoor terrace offers romantic candle light dinners or al fresco breakfasts. Sometimes there is an evening buffet but the a la carte menu offers lots of choices, including vegetarian dishes. There is a decent wine list too. The staff is very friendly and service is excellent. I particularly like the open air bar overlooking the Melinau river which offers some beverage promotions like beer by the bucket and cocktails. Considering that everything has to be flown in, the prices are quite reasonable.
