Orinea by Farquhar Mansion in Butterworth

Service and the environment is overall is good. The food is also delicious. Will come again.

We went there last week for birthday . Price is too exp. After 8 course , we left there hungry as well . The staff there is not really friendly. For 2 pax we pay Rm1300.

Wonderful dining experience with a beautiful sea view.

Wonderful service, loved the explanation, and food served was unique!

Nice environment. Different experience during day n night.Fresh food.

Been searching for French fine dining and found this recommended by Google. Voila to the food and the staffs Esther, Jason and Shiva are so friendly and provide excellent service introducing, recommend and explaining the food. Last but not least, compliments to the Chef for the scrumptious food. Have an unforgettable Birthday celebration.

Visit this lovely restaurant in Gurney Drive. The service is professional, food explanation given for every dishes they served. The staffs are very friendly and they do care about our dining experience as well. On the other hand, the food is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

first of all, i really like to say that the setting is pretty incredible with the sea view and the food is pretty impressive too. flavor and plating are both up to my expectation.

Nice environment with fine food. Friendly and attentive staff. Definitely a must visit place for special occasions.Will definitely visit here again.

Overpriced and a complete rip off! For 4 people we paid more than RM2000 and we left feeling hungry and dissatisfied. Will not recommend anyone to visit.Decor- was an industrial tacky vibe. Black ceiling with pipes and lights. Definitely not fine dining settings. No table cloth nor carpets. Dazzling cheap props on the table and dance music that cheapened the experience.Food-The 3 morsels of food in the pictures made up 3 courses. Instead of Gold leaves and caviar, how about using more substantial ingredients like prawns or meats so the courses won’t look like canapés.Wines- we paid for the wine pairings. The red wine from Romania was flat. Nothing on the nose, didn’t leave an impression on the palate, and zero finish. The Chardonnay from Italy was not much better. Can’t believe these were the best their sommelier can choose. Albeit after I gave feedback they brought me another serving of red wine- but it was also really bad.Penang-nites tried to convince me there was no fine dining in the city but I told myself I need to at least give Orinea a chance.I did and now I’m convinced! After paying an expensive lesson for it.Stay away! You had been warned

Fine dining restaurant. We have an outdoor seat because we wearing a wrong dress code. But the view is nice. Too pricey so My friend and I decide to try a dessert only. The dessert is okay. Overall okay.

The best dinner for fine dining so far. The food is delicious and the view is nice. I choose set menu with non alcoholic pairing so they serve me 5 different type of mocktail and surprisingly its unique and good. Will come back again. The service is attentive too. They will always check on you if you need anything. Very good.

I decided to try their afternoon tea with my family on last weekend. From service to food, i wont hesitate to give them 5 star! Kudos to Orinea team for a warm and friendly service and delicious high tea set for sure.Would love to come back for their dinner.

I would say, this is the best fine dining in Penang. Well seasoned food. I get 8 courses menu with wine pairing, totally worth it. My main course is Aussie Wagyu, and their chef did a good job with doneness and food presentation. Staff explained well regarding the wine and food, plus, very attentive that you dont have to ask for anything. We enjoy our dinner with night view from 18th floor.

Had dinner with my wife. From arrival, they do strictly check MySejahtera and follow SOP, we feel safe dining here and the food is delicious plus staff attentiveness add on points. Will definately come back.Not to forget, spectacular view from 18th floor.

Through my experience with high tea dining, my encounter with Orinea has been rather disappointing. 2 star has been given for the effort showm by the waiters and waitresses.In terms of food quality, it is not to my tasting. I would prefer a piece or two cakes in the mix.For the environment, if you wish to charge rm100/ pax, please provide a better ambience for the event.This is my honest opinion. Thanks

Had a nice dining experience at Orinea during my birthday. The food and the service deserved 5 🌟

No star for this and not good at all. Forced customer to order main course for each person even customer no prefer choice of main course. Very limited choice and food taste very salty. Not up to standard

The place is exquisite and the food is splendid. The view is not breath taking but the overall ambience and food compensate the lack of scenery.. hope to come back for dinner meal soon

Absolutely fabulous n well worth the price. Very good wine list with some interesting selections. Found a very nice New Zealand gerwurstraminer that was chilled to perfection. Celebrated an early birthday there with a very close friend & it was a special evening. Yes, it is pricey but the food quality & presentation as well as the service was outstanding. I particularly liked the mystery 7 course menu & the chef was able to cater to my allergies & still deliver an exceptional experience. For fine dining, this restaurant is up there with the best in Penang.

The food was delicious and the service was great too. Ive had one of the best Cod in my life. But I was surprised that for a fine dining restaurant like that didnt even provide us any napkins at all. And i wish the lighting would be a little brighter inside the restaurant.

Nice seaview but when come to service it is really poor. Unfriendly waiter and waitress, unable to treat customer with respect. A truly disappointing dining experience for us and if you do not wish to disappoint your business partner or friends please do not bring them to visit this place.

Nice place with good view and environment. We try the Hi tea set is tasty and look good. Service is good.

didnt know i can park inside (i shudve read more before coming😅), had to make 15mins reroute to end up parking illegally at housing area. anyway, ambience wise was so-so, maybe i was expecting too much. saw few plasters on the ceiling dunno its there bcs of repair work or its some sort of abstract decoration that i find not appealing at all. but hey, i dont do art, who am i to comment much about it. view was lovely, went there in the evening for high tea. ordered grand high tea set for two, the foods ok-ok la can eat one. few desserts got like a piece of tiny sheet of gold (around 3-5mm radius?so i think we are paying high price for those. cant really get what gold taste like. when first arrived they’ll offer u tea bags to choose from. all the tea bags are arranged in a box and the waitress will carry it around the table to have everyone choose their tea. lol i saw bug inside the box like a tiny baby roach? not sure of what bug but it was moving here and there alone in the box. the waitress changed the box i think then only came again to ask us to choose. this is all for the review. if u like to feeling² have high tea by the sea in the sky, can la come here. but for me, dont think i’ll repeat. thank you.

Nice view. Ordered high tea set, average pastry.

Went there last week, the ambient was good.. but the beef was kinda salty for my taste buds.. anyway my fiance and I were quite enjoying..

This is my 1st time there and it’s was quite an experience to look for the place. You will need to take the lift on the right hand side of the building towards 3A then get out from the lift again and take the other lift to 18th floor of the building. Just like the famous hidden bar in town but I could still tolerate with it as I found it quite challenging 😉. The food was superb and the staff are very helpful and friendly too especially Esther. She’s so amazing that she would even go beyond the hill to get our request done. Amazing!! It was really last minute request for birthday plate decoration for both of my aunt and the cook is also helpful to fulfill and came out with something for them. It’s nothing repeated from the tea set we ordered and both of my aunts are so delighted when both staff came out and singing the birthday song for them. They were amazing and really appreciate their efforts. It’s a highly recommended place for any celebrations and romantic place to bring your love ones there too. 👏🏻 👏🏻 great job and great service mates. Million thanks everyone 😉

Located in a block of units on the beach on level 18. Take A elevator and change and level 3. Orinea is a attempt and modern fine dine. However it misses the mark entirely. The interior feels a little cheap and does not have the right vibe that its trying so hard to achieve. The waiters although are nice and try hard are not up to par with knowledge and their communication with customers. The food is bistro level and would get 2 stars the final star is for the view.

Came here for high tea, and it’s very creative and tasty. Quite pricey but for the food, the view and the exclusivity I think it deserve the price tag.

View at 38th floor is great. However is kinda tricky as need to change lifts and not air-conditioned. Booked via tableapp and they arranged seaview which was great too.Howevere, would suggest them to have more decorative item/chandeliers to make the ambience feel for exclusive. Do not have the fine dining atmosphere. (P/s: Some of the photos in the google map was in previous building and they have already shifted)The teapot/cups/utensils used are not presentable as the gold lining at the handles are faded. This literally brought their level down as my first impression/appetite was already affected.For those having odd number of customers need to take note as they only get to refill the coffee once and the coffee teapot is taken away..but have to pay the same price!Insufficient staff to serve initially which kept us waiting for about 15mins before the waiter start recommending the tea to choose. Service could be better.Went for the Grand High Tea, food presentation is great but for the price per pax paid, I was expecting more extravaganza.

The view from the 18th floor and 270 degree seaview with balcony is the first wow we gave as we entered the restaurant. Then we noticed the deco was very modern and classy. Tables were set with lots of spaces between them. High ceiling and relatively dim lighting to enhance the privacy and romantic ambiance.Food was good. We had a party of 10 and one is vegetarian and she was happy with the food. The scallop appetizer and foie gras starter were really good.Wine list was reasonable considering the tax. We bought a bottle and we BYOB a few and paid corkage.

Nice decoration, nice views. Good service and good plating as shown in image. However they are pretty average thus lowering its value for money. Could be a nice place for afternoon tea but haven’t tried them.

We have had a very nice experience at this restaurant. We choose a non vegetarian menu. All menu was very good and few especially the foiegrass and dessert was amazing. Akie was an excellent help and he introduced us in all the menu details.I didnt give 5 stars to restaurant because the fish was not good and beef did not deserve more than 3 stars.Amazing place and a wonderful view over the beach and sea.

Overall: this was a beyond disappointing dining experience and feel the restaurant is quite deceitful in its overall web presence. Would advise any future guests and travellers to avoid!What we ordered: 358 RM 9 course surprise chefs tasting menu + non alcoholic drinks pairingService: Overall the servers were nice, but not very professional. They understood very little about the food they were serving. The server we had, omitted certain items on our plate and when probed further about them would only be able to tell whether they are edible or not (not whether they were part of the taste of the dish). So overall, very rehearsed and robotic service... didnt feel natural, was definitely not happy about the automatic 10% service charge on the meal!Food: Overall the food quality was poor and not worth the money. The flavours were boring and we had some flavours repeat over a few courses, which u dont expect when offered a chefs supposed surprise tasting menu. The food was hardly fit for fine dining with very rudimentary presentation, on one course we had to half deshell a prawn, which is not expected when fine dining.Drink: the drinks which were paired with didnt really match the flavours in our food. They all tasted the same with a lot of them tasting of varied fruits mixed through sprite. They were also not introduced in detail by our server..Portion size: The portions were also very tight...my girlfriend wasnt even full after 9 courses. Some courses were embarrassingly small.Ambience & setting: The view off the external balcony is a slight redeeming feature of this venue. But there is overall a lack of attention to detail by the staff in the dining atmosphere. We heard utensils being washed behind the open bar, the reception mobile going off often & loudly. The bathroom was also unfit for a fine dining venue in terms of decor and the soap dispenser hadnt even been filled. The background music in the dining room was a loop of Christmas carols quite noisy, noticeable and maddening.

A very nice and relaxing place for high tea. Great pastry, great tea and coffee, great view from the 18th floor overlooking the seaside view. If you dont mind the price and just want to find a place to relax, enjoy sipping tea or coffee while taking small bites of scones and other variety of pastry, this is one place you can consider!

Proper fine dining options in Penang are far in between. The view, the borderline secret location, the beautiful presentations, are all top class, but flavours are not that exciting. We loved the server that made sound effects while serving, really gave the place some personality.

Cozy environment, price reasonable. For me i have been to lots of fine dining restaurants around the world . I can say the food here is just like western food, although the chef has put lots of afford to make the dish presented nicely, however the taste is really not too match.Some of the staffs are not too knowledgeable to handle fine dining services.It should not be the top 10 fine dining restaurants in Penang. There are a lot more good fine dining restaurants which are in low profile.

The place where you enjoy the up to standard fine dinning dinner.

Had dinner there on my birthday. Very romantic atmosphere, lovely food presentation.A bit pricey but the food and service were well worth it.

Nice environment and service. Foods and price are decent.

the place is ok. service is ok... I have chosen the surprise menu... hmmmm a bit of disappointment that it didnt rely surprise me. the 10 course dinner was good. just good .... :)reason I have rated it 3 star because I have had better fine dine course dinner meal.I think the chef should have been more adventurous since I chooses the secret menu.as for the service and environment its also a ok location.its a good try for the price I paid.oh btw I am thankful to the staff to have notice its our 10th anniversary and present us with a complementary dessert. 😊👍

This is one of the top fine dining restaurants in Penang. Situated in a heritage site, Mission House which dates back to 1870s. A couple of minutes walk from Eastern & Oriental Hotel. While the outside is under refurbishment, there is no disruption to the dining experience inside (we went there for dinner). Inside is modern in style with tables placed spaciously away from each other (something that many top HK restaurants cant manage). Upstairs there is a member only area that is more glamorous and contemporary chic.This time me and my friends tried the tasting menu, including Amuse Bouche + 6 courses, costing RM278. For this price, I could only say that it is up to standard. All the food were nice, but not spectacular. The service is good but not up to the standard of 1885 that featured live pianist throughout the dinner.However, next time, I think Ill go again to try Bespoke Gastronomy Creations, with 10 courses at RM358 (which include Acqua Panna water, coffee or tea😆

Food presented well but the taste was... underwhelming. There was heavy construction on the front balcony during the visit. It was loud and distracting and a bit worrisome to see cracks on the side of the building.

The restaurant is in old stylish mansion. The lighting setup created a romantic dining environment for the couple. The staff is friendly and patient to explain every of the food we ordered. Heres what I think about the duck confit set: smoked duck was good comparing to duck confit because duck confit meat little bit dried up. Its fine dining price.

Very classy establishment with tastefully done food options. Great dessert technique! Quite the wait for the high tea option despite pre-booking, and lets just say its not inexpensive.

Great food and environment. Tasting menu is just USD 70.

Good food experience. The food quality was great with various elements in play...

Yesterday went to Farquhar Mansion with my love one. Environment is very romantic. Staffs are friendly. Couple best choice when come to finding a romantic restaurant for dating or celebration. Highly recommended for couple.. Must try out their fish and lamb! So nicely cooked, best in Penang!

Love the food, service and the restaurant environment. Great for gathering on a lovely afternoon! Reservation is needed for the hi-tea set.

Environment here is good and happening. High class dinner and wines are served, price is reasonable. Staff here is so friendly and take care of customers need. Remember to make reservation! Its the best fine dine restaurant i ever visit in penang. Thanks!
