The best meal we had on our 6 days in Melaka. We walked around in circles trying to find it & eventually caught a taxi. The sign is difficult to see with the lush vegetation at the entrance. Once inside it is like walking into...an oasis. It is simply beautiful with the plants & art work. The service is excellent, quick & efficient, The food, while it is mainly burgers was very good & they have an excellent Vietnamese coffee on the menu served like they do in Vietnam. Do yourself a favour & go for a meal. They are only open until 17h00 & very popular. You might have to wait for a tableMore

Nice ambient restaurant. They serve some nice pork burgers and other dishes. Just need to take note they close at 5pm. We just arrived at 4.10pm in time to order some nachos, sweet potato and a pork belly burger. They also serve IPA from Japan....The beer taste was wonderful for the hot weather. Will be there again to try their other dishes on their menu.More

We were so lucky that I was a rainy day and there was no queue (which is really rare). The deco of this restaurant was really unique with all the antique and plants at the patios. We were full but couldn't resist the yummy food...so we order pork burger and lemongrass chicken burger. The pork burger was really nice. Staffs were friendly and helpful. A must visit restaurant when u r in Jonker walk.More

Very relaxing and calm atmosphere, really good place to enjoy food and drinks quietly (which was rather bizarre since it was packed while we were there, but the way they dress the place and place the seating made it possible). Aloha lamb burger were very...tasty and bacon omelette were tender and juicy! Coffees were good too! They took card which was important since we couldn’t really find money changer nearby and running low on cash! The restroom were in the very back of the place and you had to go passed the kitchen and multiple wells and trees (an adventure itself!) On of the toilet basically a hole on the floor toilet (like the south East Asian old days toilet-very authentic eh😂) and didn’t have tissues so you better bring your own!More

An unassuming front, a name, a tiny sign about craft beer a "ring once and wait sign" ... You might walk past, not realising what you've missed. The experience is exceptional, a beautifully, yet tastefully decorated enough to look great yet maintain its historical feel....A menu where you'd like to try everything... WiFi provided, order by QR code and then wonder ... I selected the Chicken burger and the Ginger Lemongrass beer ... Oh my! A superb chicken piece with cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato in a soft bun topped with pumpkin seeds ... And sweet potato fries on the side ... The beer, only 2%, but the best ginger beer ever. My partner had passion fruit & honey ... What a find, whatever you do don't walk past wondering, ring the bell, stop for a moment and stifle your WoW!!More

Had to try this place after reading so many good reviews, and the place did not disappoint. Almost missed the shopfront as it was covered with with leaves and foliage, but that's the charm of the place. Food is good, the highlight is the internal...decor. Went during Friday lunch time and was told the waiting time was 1 hour! Went back the next day at 10.45am from brunch/early lunch and got a table immediately. Good place to prioritise in your list of top cafes/cool restaurants to check out in Melaka.More

This is the first time that I visited the Baboon House since borders reopened after Covid. I had their signature beef burger. It did not disappoint. They always had interesting drink creations. I had cider before but that was not available anymore, so I ordered...ginger lemon beer and it was pretty good too.More

We came for lunch and had a great experience. We had burgers, artisanal beers, and dessert and it was all great. Try the avocado cheesecake! The service was speedy and friendly and the decor of the place is also awesome. Would highly recommend.

A very cosy restaurant with kind and helpfull staff. The menu is burgers, part regular and part Asian influenced. The style of the interior is as if you are in a jungle, which contributes to the experience. The restaurant is clean, the burgers are good...quality and service is fast. I will definetely come back!More
