The Gallery @ The Westbury Hotel Dublin, Ireland

During our stay at The Dean Hotel in October 2015, please see also review, we went to The Gallery at the Westbury Hotel for a quick stop to refresh ourselves after going shopping in the city.

The carpet had slightly changed since our last visit and there was a small exhibition of Irish Design products in the lobby, because 2015 was dedicated to Irish and international Design.

We found a space at The Gallery, but it was quite busy already.

We ordered one Nutella Hot Chocolate, which woke memories of Penang and Malaysia, a Morning Star Green Tea and one Tia Maria.

The bill came in at 17.60 Euro / ca. 19.20 USD.

Overall the staff was attentive, but it was sometimes difficult to get their attention.

We enjoyed our relaxing visit and would return.

Wheeler's, Love Lane, George Town, Penang, Malaysia

While exploring George Town we were also in Love Lane and stopped for a break at Wheeler’s Coffee. Penang is famous for excellent cuisine and good coffee.

The shop is quaint and easily identifiable because the entrance is decorated with bikes and there is a mural of a gentleman and his unicycle from a long bygone area, when bicycles were still in their infancy, plus a rabbit on a bicycle sporting a blue and red stripped balloons.

The bicycle theme continues throughout the café.

There were a lot of fresh cakes and sandwiches on display and a large board showed the drink menu.

The orders were taken at the counter, but brought to the table by the staff.

The different flavored teas, coffees and chocolates were mind boggling and fabulous.

For him it was easier, but I had difficulties deciding which drink to take.

He took the Nutella Hot Chocolate, while I had the Rose Latte. We chose two orange juices and two tiramisu cakes as well. All was delicious and fresh.

We paid 63.60 MYR (ca. 13 Euro or 14.50 USD).

Other customers were locals and Wheeler’s was very full, but quiet.

We would return next time if we are in Love Lane again.
