My first time here with friends. The food is very nice with a feel of original Thailand's style & taste. The tomyam soup taste nice, but kind of too spicy for myself but for the spicy lovers, this is it! The restaurant has a very nice setup, wooden furniture & open environment provide us a special experiance of dining in... More

We came to the Spice Gardens for a stroll and found this lovely little Thai restaurant on our way out. The use of herbs and spices, fresh from the garden, results in some beautifully balanced flavours. In particular the steam sea bass with chilli and lime :)

We ate here twice during our recent stay and the food was top notch. We like to fill the table with various foods and try a bit of everything so it was great that they do a Malay style tapas menu here as well as normal size dishes. Service was very slow and you are a bit exposed if it... More

We dragged ourselves away from the pool at the HI and took a short hop in a taxi for lunch at Tree Monkey based mainly on TA reviews. We weren't disappointed. The setting was really different, halfway up a tree! Be warned, you are very much at one with nature at Tree Monkey, so take your Deet. The staff were... More

A nice out door restaurant located next to Tropical Spice Garden up at Batu Feringghi area. They served very tasty Thai cuisine. Prices are quite expensive but not a big deal as the food is tasty and the outdoor sitting environment is very nice and relaxing. You are dining very close to nature surrounded by greenery and the sound of... More

Beautiful heritage building set in tropical forest overlooking the Andaman Sea. My wife and I spent a very pleasant 90 minutes on a tour of the Spice Gardens and then went for lunch at Tree Monkey. I had Phad Thai which was a very good balance of flavours and textures but not very large. My wife had Nasi Lamak which... More

Tree Monkey is a different environment, and is a must for tourists in that area. The food is OK, nothing wrong with it, but lacking something compared with others. The service is good, and the location is fantastic. It's great to sit outside, watching the sun go down between the trees. The major downside are teh ants and insects, but... More

We were attracted by the Spice Garden in which this restaurant is located. The location is a little outside Penang (about 1 hr from Georgetown, we advise to let the taxi wait), but fully worth the trip. The restaurant offers a beautiful view of the bay and after you got the attention of the staff and ordered your food, you... More
