There is shame in wanting some familiar food, when travelling in Asia. So this is the place for all liking Swiss or German food. The restaurant has a unique interior with old clocks, gas lights (most of them now electric) and the menu is great in choice of drinks and food. The service was fast and very friendly.
Unfortunately it closes on Sundays at 6pm and stays closed on Mondays, so we managed only one meal there. 😔

This is a lovely quiet & calm cafe in the hustle & bustle of Georgetown Penang. Fabulous food and a great range of beers & spirits. Lovely place to sit & chat and watch the world go by.
Do go!!

Dear Michael, we're sorry not being able to serve you lunch, and of course displaying an open sign when closed is not very smart thing to do. Thank anyway for trying having lunch with us and we hope one day you may drop by again.
