Le Périgord (GPS: 5.42829, 100.31442) is a restaurant in Pulau Tikus, Penang. Located on Burmah Road. It opened on 1 January, 2016, by a young husband and wife team of Bruce and Michelle, with a few partners. Michelle happened to be a friend of an old friend of mine, and she introduced Michelle to me. Both of Michelle and Bruce had studied in Australia, where Bruce trained under a famous chef, Jacques Reymond. There was once when Chef Reymond served to Bruce a wonderful aromatic truffle which came from Le Périgord, a place in the Aquitaine region of southwestern France. That truffle inspired Bruce and his partners for the name of the restaurant.
Le Périgord serves a combination of fusion and Modern European cuisine. To whet the local appetite for its dishes, the restaurant has created set meals for lunch at only RM19.90 nett. The set lunch includes the soup of the day and drink. Diners can select a main course comprising either Salmon Teriyaki served with butter rice and seasonal vegetables; Tonkatsu - free range pork loin deep fried with panko and served with seasonal vegetables; or Aglio Olio pasta with squid, chilli flakes, olive oil, garlic and onion.
Le Périgord is open daily from 11:30 am in the morning until 10:30 pm.

May 2016: Le Périgord informs me of the latest additions and updates to their menu.
For a perfectly healthy breakfast, they are now offering Bircher Muesli with yoghurt, sultanas and granula. It's a good way to open one's appetite and kickstart a hectic day. I am told that their salami on toasted focaccia with pesto spread, sundried tomatoes and cheese is one of their best sellers for breakfast. In addition, they have a "classic big breakfast", with which diners can choose scrambled or poached eggs on sour dough, bacon, avocado, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
Le Périgord set lunch is priced at just RM19.90. It comprises:
1) Soup of the day
2) Main course
3) Le Perigord chilled drink
For main course, diners can choose Aglio Olio (spaghetti with olive oil, dried chilli, prawns and garlic), or free-range Tonkatsu served with smooth mashed potatoes and salad with dressing.
And after the meal, diners can leave the restaurant with a selection of Le Périgord's petite cheesecakes, made by their Japanese chef Yumi. The cheesecakes comprise ten distinctive flavours (Chocolate, Durian, Oreo, Strawberry, Mandarin, Blueberry, Vanilla Bean, Salmon, Caramel and Green Tea) made with imported ingredients of the best quality. These cheesecakes are priced at RM6.80 per piece. Buy 9 pieces and get 1 free!

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
