By : Chha

Located near the famous sister and brother cycling mural in Penang. Beach Street Bistrot is the perfect place to eat after a day out visiting Georgetown Penang. It is a Modern European Bistro which serve variety of western style of food. It offers modern bistro fare infused with Spanish, Italian and French influences.

Nestled in a 100 year old shophouse in the heart of Georgetown's heritage area, this charming building has been refurbished into a casual and contemporary restaurant. This place is divided into 3 section which give you different feel and environment depending on your mood for that day, they are the The Communal Table Section, The Brasserie and The White Room which make up the soul of Beach Street Bistrot.

The Communal Table Section

The Brasserie

The White Room

At The Brasserie there is a bar section where you can enjoy your drinks. I tried their Mango Berry Fizz and Matcha Latte which is refreshing and nice to drink. The bartender will prepare the drinks directly in front of you so that you can see how it is made, which is interesting to see.

Matcha Latte is made with a lot of  Matcha and Milk hence the name Matcha Latte. The match not too bitter and the milk not too sweet just nice.

Matcha Latte

While the the Mango Berry Fizz it is made from Mango, strawberry and Fizz making it really refreshing to drink. Having a couple of drinks here while spending time with friends is really awesome, may it be before or after a meal here in Beach Street Bistrot.

While for the food, there are a lot of food to choose from their menu. Those that I have tried is really tasty and different from what you may get elsewhere. Their signature starter is the unique Charred Honey Corn Ribs which is also my favourite where the corn is cut into small ribs size and the corn is juicy and sweet.

It is always important to start a meal with an awesome starter to bring up the appetite for the rest of the dish and this Charred Honey Corn Ribs really do the trick and it is really nice to munch on it. It is cut into smaller size and it fit perfectly into one mouth full.

Keep a balance diet with some greens from Beach Street Bistrot Watermelon and Crispy Serano Salad which is made from Stracciatella, Marinated Tomato and Aged balsamic. This plate of salad is really nice and I like the mixture of green vegetable and some meat inside which taste a little bit salty like dried meat but goes perfectly with the vegetable. The small cube of watermelon inside is making this bowl of salad juicy. Its sweet and juicy watermelon, meat and vegetables is a perfect combination. It is a plate packed with flavour especially when it has some tomato inside too, these combination is making me wanting more.

Grilled Kingfish (Hamachi) Collar

This plate of Grilled Kingfish (Hamachi) Collar is made from Ponzu, Banana Shallets and Gremolata. Squeeze some lemon on top of the fish to give it a little lemon taste. Texture of the fish is smooth and nice to eat.

Parma Sandwich

Serve with some fries at the side this plate of Parma Sandwich is perfect for sharing but if you are a big eater, then this Parma Sandwich is good for one person. Serve also with Serano Ham, Stracciatella, Tomato, Rocket, Basil and Balsamic it is a very filling. The slices of meat inside it is smoked and it gives it a little salty taste which makes the overall taste of the sandwich.

The BSB Cheeseburger

This The BSB Cheeseburger may look like a simple burger but the meat Beach Street Bistrot use it he good quality Wagyu Beef Patty with some touch of their very own signature house sauce, Onion, Gherkin, Cheese, Smoked Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Beetroot. In my opinion, this Beef Burger is not bad but I do hear people saying that meat is dry but I personally feel that it is ok. The  meat may not be the juicy type but it is still a one nice burger to eat.

Linguine Garlic Kombu Butter Seafood

This next plate of food is something that I highly recommend everyone to try, this is Beach Street Bistrot plate of Linguine Garlic Kombu Butter Seafood. It is made from Guanciale, a lot of Sea Prawns, Hokkaido Scallops, Mussel and Clams. This is something for seafood and pasta lover. Overload with seafood, this plate of Linguine Garlic Kombu Butter Seafood is my personal favorite. This plate of pasta comes with a plate of Thai Chili Dipping Sauce which is a must have when eating their seafood. This Thai Chili Dipping Sauce is spicy with a little sweet sour taste to it which is perfect for seafood. When eating the seafood, do remember to dip it into the Thai Chili Dipping Sauce, though it is spicy, you won't regrets doing it, haha !

The Galette Complete

I tried The Galette Complete as a snack food because of the thin and crunchy layer of Galette. This plate of Galette Complete is made with Mortadella Ham, Cheese, Egg and a lot of Mushroom. As Malaysian, this looks kinda like a piece of Roti Canai wrapping up a lot of Mushroom inside it with an Egg Yolk on top and it taste a little salty which is made exactly like the original French taste.

Rivoli

Add some dessert when dining here at Beach Street Bistrot to make it a complete meal so I ordered their Rivoli. There are few different types of dessert and cakes to choose from here and the Rivoli that I tired is made from Valrhona Manjari cream, Crumb Caramel and Caramelized Hazelnuts. The Rivoli top layer is made from cheese which is crunchy. There are a lot of things going on in this one small piece of Rivoli of which I find it kinda interesting. There is some sweet taste to it, some salty taste and the bottom layer is crunchy too like there is a thin layer of biscuit, something like a chocolate dessert with light orange taste. With all these things pack into one Rivoli, it taste good ! One of my favorite dessert here at Beach Street Bistrot.
