QE2 is situated close to the ferry, and has wonderful waterfront views. Food is good, and barman knows his drinks. We have been a couple of times, and will return.

Took my fiance for a V day dinner here. We were hoping for nice food and nice views of the sea at the outside patio. We did enjoy the views and the nice air from the sea. However the food left a lot to be desired. The food tasted alright, but was cold when it arrived. Chicken was way overcooked... More

After a walking tour of Gerogetown, I was blessed to stumble across this great restaurant. The view from the bar/lounge reminded me of many places I have been (e.g., Cape Town, San Francisco) as you can eat al fresco & order top quality wines and enjoy the busy harbor's sunset. Albeit, the menu was slim as they were out of... More

What used to be a place bustling with dancing, drinking and atmosphere is now, unfortunately, a very poor experience if you're looking for a night out in Penang. The pizzas are amazing - though - and it's worth going just for those (trust me!) However, this place used to be PACKED on a Saturday night but now with all the... More

Only had 1 visit & that broke the bank. Was recommended by friends for pizza. Portions were OK, but you definitely pay for the location - looking out over the sea. Drinks were pricier than many bars in Penang Road area. I won't go back.

We had understood from rave reviews in tour guide that the restaurant served both Western/Italian and Chinese. Turns out the venue has both a western restaurant, the QEII, and a Chinese one, Chins. Oddly as well, we were the only ones in the restaurant although when we left, a crowd had formed outside. Food was ok. Service was very attentive.... More

Some of the reviews featured here seem to be about neighbouring Chin's chinese restaurant and Chin Chin bar. This review is about QEII, the western restaurant. The taxi driver who dropped us off at the Church Street Pier had confirmed to us that QE2 was 'the best restaurant in town', so we went inside with high expectations. The waiters suggested... More

Nice water front view, with ferry flowing. This is also the place you can have both good Chinese and Western food on one table. The roast duck and pizza are must try.
