Ferringhi Garden

Penang


Everyone falls in love with the Ferringhi Garden's outdoor setting, with its terracotta tiles and hardwood surrounded by bamboo – not to mention the seafood-heavy menu. During daytime hours, the neighbouring cafe serves a good breakfast and real coffee – a relative rarity in Batu Ferringhi.
