“Your choice of bistro, bar, restaurant, art gallery”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

Another funky establishment in Penang.

We had afternoon tea there. Cakes were pretty good. Service was not too fantastic. It was the first day of Chinese New Year and the place was packed! Cakes and coffee were served promptly but the cold drinks, which we desperately needed as it was a hot hot day, came 30 minutes later!

Overall, still a place to visit.

“Delicious food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

We like the dinner, wine list and atmosphere. The bar in the back is quite fun when there is live music.

“Fantastic cakes”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

We had been told to go and try the cakes and we're glad we did. The food was great but I have never seen such an amazing selection of cakes anywhere. We tried three and they were all delicious. The building is amazing and it's in a great location so you can walk off some of the food later!
