Asian cuisine restaurants Malacca (Melaka)

With its decor combining traditional furniture, colorful murals and an abundance of plants, this restaurant located in a former shophouse offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere. It also boasts a terrace overlooking the river. The kitchen offers a wide range of Nyonya and Thai specialties, with halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Popular dishes include nasi lemak, pad thai and tandoori chicken. Prices are very reasonable and the food is top quality.

In a quiet part of the new town, it's at least a 20-minute walk from Dutch Square. But it's well worth the effort, as this Japanese address is one of the city's finest restaurants. Private lounges, sushi bars, closed booths or traditional tables are just some of the ways you can share delicious Japanese specialties. The extensive menu revisits the great classics. All products are extremely fresh and offered at very reasonable prices. Service is friendly but a little slow.

We literally fell in love with this address, which is housed in two adjoining houses. The first overlooks a pretty town garden with a fish pond and a pergola under which you can cool off or have lunch. The second faces the street and features two charming rooms, furnished with country-style wooden tables. The café serves delicious Peranakan cuisine. We highly recommend trying the award-winning laksa, a rich, fragrant broth served with chicken and shrimp.
