Restaurant Blanc

French   |   $ $ $ $   |   Penang

One of Penang’s earliest fine dining restaurants, Restaurant Blanc's singular location—the all-white Macalister Mansion built in the 1880s—is a large part of its charm

 

Driving into the manicured grounds of the heritage hotel sets the tone for the evening in one of the island’s most elegant restaurants. Serving interpretations of classic dishes redefined by modern French techniques, the Indulgence menu starts off well with beautifully baked brioche, exquisitely crafted Hamachi Mosaic and the extremely tasty chilli crab sandwich. The most memorable dish was undoubtedly the Pou Zai Fan, a sophisticated take on claypot rice sprinkled with lobster and gula Melaka shoyu. Blanc is a beautiful restaurant for an Instagram-worthy evening, both in terms of the location and the food.
