The Canteen At Chinahouse - Butterworth

Like the concept of the café/restaurant/bistro. the structure of the building is amazing and goes definitiw beyond its fantasy.

Varieties of cakes and beverages. They also have meals. The staff will ask whether you want to have a dessert or a meal bc they have two different kind of sitting. We had Tiramisu cake, passion fruit and mango yogurt smoothies and pineapple ginger lime. Price not that cheap but worth a try.

This place is a cafe/bar that stretches along a narrow building linking one street to the opposite street. Walking through feels like you’re passing from one store to another, when in fact they’re all connected. The bar end has live music events, but expect pricey drinks. The other end hosts a cafe with a huge selection of cakes. The 2F houses a small art gallery. Great place to chill out over a coffee or beer. Seems to be where all the Penang young people hang out.

Great live music to our taste. Plenty to drink n eat. Cozy environment. Service is a little too slow maybe not enough staff

Love the fact that they have live music here every night, also the fact that I can order a cake from the front and take it to the back! What I don't understand is why there's a fuss when it comes to getting water here. At the front where the cakes are served, I've faced no issues getting water as they have then readily available at tables. Yet when I come to the back, they always give a weird look when I ask for water and I even got charged for it once. Crazy. Isn't the entire long place owned by the same entity?
