Great restaurant - Edit
This is a super good quality food for good price. I had some fruits, chicken rice and soup for 13 ringgit (€3). Very clean and very very tasty!

Pros: Cheap, Healthy, Delicious
Cons: Openings hours

Simple, clean, healthy vegan food from Buddhist volunteers - Edit
This is one of my favourite weekday lunchtime restaurants in Penang. The choice is limited but understandable as the people who work here are volunteers. Always service with a smile and sometimes they bring soup to your table as well.
Read moreAfter you finish, clear your table and take your dirty dishes and cutlery to a stand at the far end.
The standard lunch menu is only 6RM. There is also an option to pre-order an even healthier oil-free meal for 20RM.
A bonus is the old, well maintained Penang building in which it is situated. Lovely exposed brickwork on the inside with a high ceiling.
Pros: Healthy food, Friendly staff, Nice venue
Cons: Limited choice

Tasty, healthy, low cost, clean - Edit
Came here to hang out before heading to airport. Nice big attractive space with tables. A 6 RM ($1.55 USD) plate of 3 types veg/tofu with brown rice (as much as I wanted, as long as I could eat all I asked for). All vegan, well prepared, and friendly staff/owners. They explained that while they are in the process of expanding, they have simplified and reduced the menu. No complaints here. I was really pleased with the excellent value, very clean spacious place to sit, and healthy lunch.

Buddhist veggie cafe near the jetty - Edit
Large spacious cafe, only open for lunch (11.30am - 2.30pm) as it's in the heart of George Town, on Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai).
Read moreWent towards the end of lunch service, it was just getting less busy & staff looked tired & getting ready for the next day.
You order & pay at the counter from a menu (English & Chinese), take a number & it's served to you.
Ordered the nasi lemak - with sweet rather than spicy curry, nothing like any nasi lemak I've tasted. Brown rice seems to lack the coconut flavour, which is what nasi lemak is supposed to be. But fills the stomach.
Added a fried tofu on the side - again, nothing remarkable.
You clear your own table by sorting cutlery into tubs.
Somewhere to eat if you're in the area, otherwise, George Town offers plenty of other options.
To be fair, there were other dishes on the menu (noodles, claypots & sushi) which other people ordered & may have enjoyed.
Pros: Location
Cons: No flavour, Limited opening hours

Good food - Edit
The place was easy to find. Laid out very nicely inside. The dumpling soup was good. Sweet potato fries very good! The tom yam soup was not that great. It wasn't like a traditional thai variety with coconut milk. Pretty inexpensive. We got all that for $7US.
Read morePros: Clean, Nice staff, Inexpensive
Cons: Have to clear own dishes, English not great

Quay Cafe - a caring place to eat - Edit
Walk into the Quay Cafe and be amazed by the simple yet beautiful interior with exposed brick walls and very high ceilings.
Read moreLocated just off Beach Street (Jalan Pantai), this place is a veggie heaven. Run by volunteers of Tzu Chi Foundation.
The menu is not extensive but there is enough to choose from. Choices include rice dishes such as the healthy set and happy set meals and a veg filled bento box as well as noodle dishes and side dishes.
You put in your order at the self service desk and given a number. Food is then delivered to your table fairly promptly. Pick up your own cutlery. After eating you take your plates, cutlery etc to the clearing station.
Worth a visit.
Pros: Simple and tasty food, Great value, Beautiful interior
