(38 Lebuh Armenian; mains RM18-39.50; 11am-10pm Tue-Sun)
Items such as currywurst and brat-
wurst carry a distinct German accent, while fondue and rösti (Swiss-style potato pan-
cakes) give Edelweiss its Swiss twang. The antique-filled dining room is a delight, and
there's a small selection of pricey imported beers.

MADRAS NEW WOODLANDS RESTAURANT$
(60 Lebuh Penang; mains from RM1.50, set lunch RM5.25; 8.30am-10pm; )
It draws you in with its
display of Indian sweets outside (try the
halwa
), but once you experience the food you
might not have room for dessert. Tasty banana-leaf meals and north Indian specialities are
the mainstays, as well as the thickest mango lassi in town. The daily set lunch for RM5.25
might be Penang's greatest food bargain.
