Winn's Cafe

I’ve driven past this restaurant on the main road countless times each month without giving it much attention—until a relative booked our reunion dinner here. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! The taste was authentically amazing, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was attentive and friendly. To top it off, they had some excellent desserts that left a lasting impression. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent place for nyonya cousine. Good quality, tasty food. Service is friendly, with ample parking space. Recommend to make reservation as it can get packed. If you drive a Tesla, there is a complimentary charger provided.

We decided to try our luck one Saturday afternoon without making a reservation. We were lucky as the place was almost full as we managed to get a table for 5. The food was good and authentic. The taste reminds me of the past when my late grandmother used to prepare these for us for lunch. Price is reasonable too.

Glad we made the right choice during our short stay in Penang. It lives up to its reputation and all dishes we ordered were very good including the desserts. Surely will return

This is one of the best peranakan restaurant you can find in Penang. They do not have prominent signboard hanging outside, yet their business is very good. It is located in a bungalow and the internal is simple yet cosy and elegant. We ordered asam tumis fish, asam prawn, jiu hu char, otak, nasi ulam and pork belly. All dishes are really delicious and authentic. Asam tumis gravy is marvellous, asam prawn is sour enough, jiu hu char cuttle fish is strong enough and the sambal belancan is so delicious. All in about RM 340 for 4 pax but it is really worth it. In short this is like hiring a private peranakan chef to cook for you.

A friend took us here for dinner. The food was simply fantastic! The peranakan food is highly authentic and recommended. The ambience is very good and staff are polite too

Place recommended by a friend. Went there with 5 adults and 2 children. The stingray asam pedas and homemade tofu was good. The tau eu bak was more similar to Shanghainese Hong Sau Rou, sweet and without sauce. Our preference was the type grandma used to make, with tofu, mushrooms and tau yu sauce to spread over rice. However, this depends on personal preference. Be aware that the prices shown in the menu are actually for small portions. We ordered the tau yu bak on the menu because our kids don't eat this dish. When the bill came we were charged Rm60 instead of Rm27 because the waiter adjusted the size without informing us. Also when I enquired how many pieces were the inchi cabin chicken for large I was told 18 pcs but when it was served there was only 12 pcs. When I rechecked with the waiter he apologized and said he made a mistake and large was only 12 pcs. That cost RM 52 for just fried chicken. Overall I think customers should be informed clearly of the dish sizes and prices should be displayed on the menu. As we are paying for the meal, we have the right to choose the size of portions.

Kudos to Winn's lady-boss Ms Winnie for the deserved Michelin. One of the best restaurants in Penang which serves authentic Nyonya cuisine. Great ambiance especially upstairs with the art collections. Do make reservations because the place can be packed during peak lunch and dinner time. There is ample yet limited parking in the venue. However, it is of a double-parking basis. Be prepared to move vehicles when instructed by the staffs if needed, and do look out for selfish and inconsiderate guests who refuses to or is reluctant to respond to the staffs instructions to move the vehicles promptly, bringing about inconveniences towards others.
