About Mews Cafe
Mews Cafe sits inside the Muntri Mews boutique hotel, a restored row of shophouses on Jalan Muntri. The menu leans Asian-Western: nasi lemak with sambal prawns shares space with eggs Benedict and French toast. The courtyard setting is the highlight — shaded, breezy and quieter than the street outside.
Brunch is the strongest meal here, though the kitchen runs a full menu until 11 pm. Coffee is acceptable rather than outstanding. Alfresco seating fills first on weekends, so arrive before 9 am for the courtyard. Parking is tight on Muntri Street; use the Sia Boey urban park car park nearby.
What to Order at Mews Cafe
Mews Cafe offers a menu that changes with seasonal ingredients and availability. Below are the typical items you can expect. Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and may vary.
- Signature dish (RM15–25) — The house specialty and most popular order. Ask staff for the day's recommendation if it rotates.
- Set meal (RM20–35) — A main course paired with a drink. Good value for a full meal.
- Drinks (RM5–15) — Coffee, tea, fresh juice and soft drinks. Specialty coffees cost slightly more.
- Dessert (RM8–18) — Daily selection that changes regularly. Worth asking what's freshly made.

Lovely heritage cafe on Jalan Muntri. The garden courtyard seating is beautiful and shaded. We tried the beef rendang and it was rich and flavourful. The staff were fabulous — attentive and engaging without being overbearing.

The duck was outstanding and the weekly specials are worth checking the board for. The cafe is pet-friendly with outside seating in the garden. The latte was one of the better ones we had in George Town. Clean, well-maintained heritage space.

Right in the heart of the UNESCO zone. The fish and chips were good and the banana fritters for dessert were excellent. The menu mixes Asian and Western dishes with fresh local ingredients. Good WiFi too if you need to work.

Came for breakfast and the homemade chicken pie was comforting and generous. The courtyard is a nice escape from the heat. Service was friendly though a bit slow during the lunch rush. Prices are reasonable for the quality and location.

One of our favourite cafes in Penang. The setting in a restored heritage building with the garden out back is special. The menu changes regularly and everything we have tried over multiple visits has been consistently good.
