About Indigo at the Blue Mansion
Indigo occupies the first floor of the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion — the iconic blue-painted 19th-century building on Leith Street. The menu is contemporary Asian with international influences, featuring dishes like Hokkaido scallops, Australian wagyu and local seafood prepared with Southeast Asian spices. The setting is what sets it apart: diners eat surrounded by original ceramic tiles, carved timber and stained glass.
Lunch is a more accessible entry point, with set menus starting around RM80. Dinner moves into the RM120 to RM200 range for a full meal with drinks. The restaurant opens daily for both lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended, particularly for dinner and weekend lunch. Smart-casual dress applies. Combine a meal here with the mansion's guided tour (held separately) for the full heritage experience.

Dining upstairs inside the Cheong Fatt Tze Blue Mansion is a remarkable experience. The high ceilings, heritage architecture, and quiet ambience make Indigo unlike any other restaurant in George Town. The seared Hokkaido scallops on capellini with konbu were delicate and perfectly cooked. The rack of lamb with garlic miso was tender and richly flavoured. Expect to spend RM150 to RM200 per person.

The setting inside the Blue Mansion at 14 Leith Street is worth the visit alone. The restaurant blends East and West on the plate just as Cheong Fatt Tze himself did in his life. The salted egg grouper with torched octopus and squid ink risotto was creative and well-executed. Staff were courteous and attentive throughout. A special occasion restaurant that delivers on atmosphere and food alike.

Came for a lunch reservation and had a lovely meal in the historic mansion. The contemporary Asian dishes use European cooking techniques with local flavours. The duck confit was excellent and the dessert was beautifully plated. Pricing is on the higher end for Penang at RM80 to RM200 per person, but the quality of ingredients and the heritage setting justify it. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

Indigo is inspired by Cheong Fatt Tze himself, a marriage of classic and contemporary. The high-ceiling dining room is elegant and the service was warm and knowledgeable. We tried the tasting menu and every course was thoughtfully prepared. The wine pairing was well-curated. If you visit the Blue Mansion for the tour, stay for dinner at Indigo. Reservations recommended.

The heritage mansion provides an incredible backdrop for fine dining. The food leans Western with Asian accents. The scallop starter was a highlight, and the lamb main was cooked precisely to medium-rare. Service was polished but not stiff. One small note: the restaurant is non-halal. Last order for dinner is 9:30 pm. Overall an impressive experience at one of Penang's most beautiful historic buildings.
