The Top 70 Restaurants Near Ghee Lian



  1. Rank 3. Gēn

    Chinese


  2. Rank 4. Firewood

    Malaysian

    Charcoal grills sit at the heart of the room, their glow doing double duty as heat source and décor. This fire-led grill restaurant in a George Town shophouse works dry-aged Australian and Japanese beef over live flame, with a menu that moves between land and sea through a distinctly Malaysian lens. The space is calm and material-forward, the service composed without being stiff. It holds a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.

  13. Rank 37. Sambal

  14. Rank 43. Restaurant au Jardin

    Malaysian French

    A fine-dining room hiding inside a former bus depot, where corrugated metal gives way to a plant-filled atrium and white tablecloths for eighteen. The chef blends Malaysian ingredients with French technique across monthly tasting menus that follow the seasons pretty religiously. George Town is famous for cheap, brilliant street food, so naturally someone built the opposite: a spot on Asia's 50 Best list where the bread course alone inspires debate.
