I'm surprised at how delicious and affordable this place is. Located at the busiest part of the town, most places are just tourist traps. However, I'm so glad to have tried GravyBaby despite waiting for 30 minutes for a seat. Though some food items tastes nothing special, I think it's pretty decent considering the atmosphere. First of all, the place is just all about 80s glam and movie star feels. You get to sit on movie director chairs and the view of the Melaka river is stunning. Their food selections are vast with western cuisines from breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options. I went here for brunch and I recommend getting (though you should try anything on the menu): NEW YORK BRUNCH. Just a normal brunch meal with surprisingly delicious waffles, fried eggs, hashbrowns, ham, sausages and a half grilled tomato. FRENCH DIP. A cheesy pulled beef sub served with gravy. I'd be upset if the gravy wasn't good as their whole restaurant is named GravyBaby! But it was actually good eaten with the pulled beef sub! IRISH COFFEE. A wake me up call of my two favourite combinations... coffee and alcohol! They claim to have the best pies and so I'm looking forward to come back again to try. The staffs were super friendly and transparent about the waiting time to avoid disappointment towards their customers. Overall great place to dine in.

GravyBaby, Melaka is situated right in the heart of Malacca within the historical belt. Situated by the historic Melaka river, it offers stunning views of historical Malacca. I was there in the afternoon on a Sunday. While it was generally airy and breezy, I wish they had turned on the Air-conditioning or in the least atleast the Air-coolers for what could have been a fantastic experience for the mind, soul and tummy. Service by the service crew was fantastic, in particular the staff who waited patiently for our orders Daya. Daya was amiable and friendly. The view for those with seats by the window seating is captivating. GravyBaby Melaka is spread across two floors. The Second floor has a seating at the bar Pricing is more than a tad expensive. The food is priced at upmarket restaurant pricing. Not your regular restaurant pricing. While the prices are much higher, you are paying for the view, atmosphere and some great flavourful food. Their menu has a huge range of beverages ranging from soft drinks to plain sodas to combination milk shakes. The food menu is Huge, beyond extensive. Great place for special occasions. Return visit ? Ofcourse.

After jonker walk shopping, we decided to have dinner at GravyBaby seeing the extravagant interior design. Oh i was fooled, nightmare begins. I experienced horribly having dinner served by rude arrogant waiters. Waiters dont look welcoming, looks like they hate their job and didnt want to be there, look impatient when we ordered with him. Called for the waiters a lot of times dont bother, they were all gathered at the other side of the hall facing backwards standing freely not doing anything laughing about trying to kiss one another not even joking. We ordered a 4 different combination of pies , and when it came one of those guys randomly answered saying it was beef & lamb. No one even ordered lamb. Pretty sure 2 of them were fish. Manager said he was new still in training. First time here, ordering their signature pie, I was not told I have 2 choices of sides. The menu did not even mention 2 sides. When the food arrived, 2 servings of large mash potatoes seems ridiculous. Spoke to the manager about it , he apologised however the waiter came back to question me "u say all mash potato i gave u all. This was the 2nd waiter who took our order impatiently. The seat at the entrance feels like an oven, sweating while eating was unpleasant. Mushroom soup was salty, could not even finish. Vegetable gravy tastless. Talked to the manager about our situation, he questioned me is it he didn't allow us to sit upstairs that is why i was causing a scene? I felt so insulted on how "wise" he was , I was in awe by his quick judgement. (We asked if we could sit upstairs because it was quiet n they had a lovely view, he said no even if we offered to tipped him. We understood immediately and just said its ok we were just trying our luck) He did offer us to let us take away extra sides but what the heck we finished our food already dabao back home to eat is not why we came here. He offered cake, but seriously we did not have the mood to sit there and experience the awful tension. Manager said will improve next time when I come but I don't think I will support this establishment any longer due to his arrogance and his poor leadership. It was also fathers day. I brought my father and my husband , and also spoke highly of this restaurant as I had a wonderful experience in gravy baby bukit damansara KL. This made it 2 times worst. This is probably what happens when u let a bunch of let loose handle and take charge of your beautiful restaurant. They will turn it into a zoo. Beautiful interior but ridiculouly awful experience. -Ms Mah

I recently dined at GravyBaby Melaka on Jonker Street, and while the food was quite good, I encountered some issues with the service. Unfortunately, the staff's attitude towards customers was disappointing. The individuals attending to customers lacked friendliness and didn't seem to have much respect. When I requested to go upstairs, I was informed it was closed due to a lack of staff, yet I later found the area accessible. It seemed the staff was reluctant to move between floors. Moreover, a friend finishing a donut was told that outside food wasn't allowed, though there was no visible policy indicating this. When I inquired about a manager, I was told there wasn't one, which struck me as unusual for a restaurant. Overall, despite GravyBaby Melaka's excellent location and tasty food, the poor customer service and unprofessional behavior of the staff left a negative impression. It is my hope that they invest in staff training to enhance the overall dining experience. I won't be returning to this establishment and would caution others, especially from Australia, to consider alternative dining options due to the subpar service and unwelcoming attitudes, particularly towards foreigners.

We were craving some Western food and had seen other Gravy Baby restaurants in KL but never went. So, while in Melaka we thought we’d give it a go. Located along the riverfront, one of the things we first noticed was that all the windows were open, so don’t expect cool air conditioned comfort. If you get it, then lucky you! We went for lunch and were hankering for burgers. Unfortunately they didn’t have The Bean Burger, so it was The Tempeh Burger instead, which was 33RM++. To us, it didn’t sound as good but surprisingly it was yummy and filling. Also, one night we went again and had pizzas. The truffle pizza we got had lettuce instead of arugula. The couple next to us were also surprised at the lettuce! It was disappointing that we had to pay the same price even though we didn’t get arugula. Not worth the battle… LOL. Prices are more expensive than some other restaurants but the sizes are fine and there’s a large variety of options. They have lots of different specials throughout the day and week too. Have a look at our photo of the writing on the wall, interesting!

A trendy restaurant with fun decor right on the riverside with seating that offers views of boats going up and down in the evening. They have family seating area and extensive menu. We went there the very first night we got to Malacca. Ninyo (Don’t know how to spell the name) recommended steak and mushroom pie which was excellent! It filled full of steak and mushroom all wrapped in thin crust pastry with great tasting gravy and just good amount of potato wedges. He recommended Lamb curry which was packed with flavor! All drinks were great too! We went back the next day and we were lucky enough to get a seat by the river. Ninyo recommended Chicken fajitas which was another lovely meal with a really good amount of chicken and a lot of condiments! We had Rib Eye Steak Taco which was delicious, packed full of meat and sauces! Cocktails were all terrific too, especially their Negroni! Kudos to Ninyo for making great recommendations! The place were always packed and queuing is expected!
