A
Gurney Drive
Penang's most famous food area was once known as North Beach but was later named for Sir Henry Gurney, a British High Commissioner who was assassinated by Malayan communist guerrillas in 1951. Today it's a mish-mash of the city's most modern high-rises and some of the grandest colonial mansions on the island. It's posh for a hawker area so the food is a bit more pricey here than elsewhere but it's worth that few extra ringgit to have a table facing the sea.
You'll find absolutely everything from Malay to Western food, and it's known for its laksa stalls and good people-watching. For the best rojak try the Penang-famous Aye Chye stall. The area around is also home to the G…

Esplanade Food Centre
You can't beat the seaside setting of this food centre that's nestled right in the heart of Penang's colonial district. One side is called 'Islam' and serves halal Malay food and the other is called 'Cina' and serves Chinese and Malay specialities including delicious rojak (a fruit-and-vegetable salad) and fresh fruit-juices. If you're sitting on the heathen's side you can also enjoy some of the cheapest beer in town.

New World Park Food Court
Every stall serves something different (as opposed to the centre having a particular speciality) at this ultramodern, covered food court with mist-blowing fans and shiny industrial décor. It's new, spotlessly clean and garnering a good reputation among Penangites. The ais kacang (shaved-ice dessert with syrup, jellies, beans and, sometimes, even corn on top) here gets particularly good reviews.

D
Revolving Restaurant
Get your city bearings while filling your belly at this restaurant-cum-tourist attraction. It takes an hour for the disc to make a complete rotation during which you can fill your plate as often as you like from the well-spread buffet of Western dishes (such as roast lamb) to Malay and even Japanese specialities. There's live music in the evenings.

Ecco Cafe
We’d normally be wary of a place selling pizza in the heart of backpacker land, but Ecco shows up our prejudice for the small-mindedness it is. Equally popular with hip locals and travellers, there is some damn fine thin-crust European-style pizza on offer in a cosy space that’s as contemporary as it is intimate.

1885
The elegant main restaurant of the E&O Hotel serves excellent Western cuisine, such as sea bass with truffle sauce, and roast duck. Open for dinner only, with a smart-casual dress code (no T-shirts, shorts or sandals).
