After chilling for about 30 minutes at the Sky Terrace, it was time to visit David Brown’s Hilltop Garden Restaurant for the afternoon tea. Ascending the flight of stairs from the Sky Terrace, you’ll enter a garden that has a little pond in the middle and greenery on each side of the terraced-house restaurant. This is also probably why the restaurant has a “hilltop garden” attached to it. Afternoon tea is available from 3pm to 6pm and after we were seated, the staff brought over the afternoon tea menu… We decided upon the afternoon tea set for two, priced at RM118++. Do note that it takes about 20 minutes of preparation time. Which is ok as it allowed us time to wander around the gardens and take in the sights and sounds. Sounds, because there is literally a family of exotic birds roaming the premise. While we were there, a particularly beautiful blue-coloured species was posing while a group of guests were busy snapping away on their cameras at a close distance… For drinks, we chose Peach and Passion Fruit tea which allowed refills of hot water. Note that coffees are not included in the afternoon tea set. Soon, the 3-tiered afternoon tea of David Brown’s Hilltop Garden Restaurant arrived… For more details, visit 2bearbear today!

Been to Penang Hill quite a few times but never to David Brown's Restaurant. We visited on 31-12-2022. It took just over an hour to get on the funicular as it was so crowded. What a pleasant surprise to walk up to David Brown's and find only maybe a dozen or so people there. We decided to have dinner there and all 4 of us had the fish and Chips. It's a toss up between David Brown's or Scarborough Fish n Chips on Langkawi as to which were the best. They were superb. The staff were very friendly. We also had another surprise when a group of Dusky leaf monkeys made their way across the grass and onto to the roof. It's worth the trip to Penang Hill just to go to this restaurant. The view from there at sunset is fantastic

1 Star for food, 2 Stars for View. 1 Star for food: Taste normal but very expensive, not worth the price. It's just looks nice..... (Bread before meal is the best in the set lunch......)🤣😂😂 - Bread Before Meal: The bread is hot and Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, taste nice. 👍 - Spaghetti Bolognese: Taste normal but still okay. Same as many cafe that in Penang. 😶 - Fish & Chip: It's all flour, and the fish inside is very thin and small..... Bad seasoning, like no taste..... French fries are the best on the plate 😅 - Dessert : It's sweet and greasy, even though it's small.... So sad 😭🤣 2 Stars for View: Nice View & Got Monkey 🐒 in there A lots of monkeys running around the roof while we're dining 🤣🤣🤣 Very special experience Hahahaha Summary: Can try/experience but the price is a bit high, the food not worth the price 🤓

When we arrived, we asked to sit inside where there’s air con, they wouldn’t let us. Had to sit outside while the staff dined inside. Then we ordered two pistachio cakes. They turned up and both were a different colour inside. Initially thought they were different cakes so checked with the waiter. He said the were exactly the same but later admitted they were from different batches. it’s ridiculous to send two portions out to the same table from different batches. One from a left over batch no doubt. Wouldn’t expect that from somewhere charging high end prices. Think the most ridiculous part was the waiters attitude. One offered to change it and another came back out with it to argue they were both the same…clearly colour blind. The place is run by a bunch of cowboys.

Awesome dining experience there with great interactions with the staff. Tried both the lunch RM88++ and hightea RM118++ sets. The quality is great! I was impressed by the bread bun from the lunch set - it is soft and has crispy crust. The butter served alongside was quite bland to me though. For the hightea set, i didnt enjoy the savoury options. Felt that the slider was too dry and the ingredients were falling apart. The strawberry cream puff was my favourite. The cheesecake wasnt rich enough and it was kinda dry. Scones are bigger than usual size. Enjoyed the view from the top but it was foggy and cool due to a thunderstorm earlier. Staff were seen wiping the tables and chairs dry.

I used to love David Brown's back then. It offers plenty of food and coffee/english tea. Things changed right now, could be due to the recent pandemic. It opened its door at 12pm (Friday) meaning I had the opportunity to miss its English breakfast. Their menu has changed, no longer serving fish n chips, etc. It offers lunch set and limited ala carte. Its afternoon tea set probably being served during weekends, I do not know. However, the atmosphere remain chill and cool, which is nice. Just hope they could expand their dish selection and serve more varieties.
