excellent food with a vast menu to choose from. Reasonable prices and authentic setting. A short walk to jonker street. Be patient as it is a very busy restaurtant and the staff have lots of orders to take. Arrive before 830 as the kitchen normally closes by 9pm. There is always a queue of customers wanting tables which is a... More

Here is exactly what I was looking for in Melaka. All the regional classics done well. The dish cooked with the black nuts is an experience, the flavor is completely unique. All the dishes are executed well and the place is cozy and welcoming.

Well I don't really know what "authentic" Nonyan food should be but I bet its close here, its awesome flavours and combinations kept us ordering more and more food. Small and cosy with an upstairs section, I don't think it seats too many people and its really popular so be prepared to wait for a seat. We went there the... More

My friend found this cafe so we gave it a try during lunchtime about 2pm. Queues were already forming outside. It wasn't really a big restaurant. Food wasn't really fantastic which I expected more as it was highly raved. We tried the kuehs which wasn't to my liking as well. Won't come back again.

Nancy is a bit on the peculiar side and enforces her closing hours strictly. However, her popiah were the best we ate in all of Malaysia.

Without doubt one of Melaccas top spots. Excellent menu, authentic dishes, great value, excellent service and not just for tourists with many regulars from the local community.

A long queue outside the restaurant before its opening hour. Though, the restaurant is one of the old Melaka house, the space inside are quite spacious with 2 levels. The dishes we tried are good and considered quite authentic. However, you might have to bear with limited services due to their constant crowds in the restaurants.

We visited Nancy's Kitchen at recommendation of our guesthouse manager and were very much impressed with the dishes we tried here. This was a very good late lunch meal, one we will specifically seek out next time we visit Malacca. Nancy's is located just off Jonker Street amongst quite a few other bar/restaurants so you have to look for the... More

One of our best meals in Melaka. If you want a taste of real Nyonya cooking you can't go wrong with Nancy's. They have slightly odd opening hours so best to phone ahead, check the times and book a table. The Kway Pie Tee, Popiah, Lor Bak and Laksa were all great and authentic. The setting is also very nice... More
