Black Kettle is a bright, much-loved brunch cafe occupying a century-old shophouse on Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street), inside George Town's UNESCO heritage core, with exposed brick and black-and-white colonial detailing. The menu has a French accent — cocotte, tarte flambée and tartines made with local ingredients — and it is a well-known spot for waffles and crepes. Coffee is pulled from Australian Dimattina beans, and the all-day brunch favourites run from French toast to a big breakfast. It has long been a fixture on 'best cafes in George Town' lists for locals and expats alike.

Must Try

Waffles or French toast with a flat white from the Dimattina-bean espresso.
