Au Jardin holds the distinction of being Penang's first Michelin Star, awarded in the inaugural 2023 Kuala Lumpur & Penang guide and retained in every edition since. It is the work of chef-patron Su Kim Hock, who spent years in Michelin-starred kitchens across Britain and Taiwan before returning to his home state. The cooking — billed as 'La Cuisine Naturelle' — is vegetable-forward modern European built on seasonal produce from Penang's own farmers and urban growers, served as a monthly-changing degustation menu. The setting is The Warehouse at Hin Bus Depot, a former bus depot reborn as one of George Town's most characterful art spaces. Expect a degustation around RM388++ per person; tables are limited and booking ahead is essential.
