Where to eat in Cameron Highlands

Guide to best eateries
and interesting restaurants

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
-- George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman"

Century Pines Resort has ample parking space available.

Where there be good food you can be assured there will be a crowd. That's how we spot a good outlet from a poor one. Given the penchant that we all like to eat, you would not find a shortage of restaurants and eateries in Cameron Highlands. With so many of them, which one should we make a bee line to whet our appetites? Some restaurants that are good is worth revisiting while some would be wiser to re-consider when there are no other alternatives to consider.

It is good to have many choices since eating the same food day in day out would just make you sick and tired of the same food even if it was really tasty. I have quite the same dilemma around my office since the choice available was rather limited. It was more a case of eating to live than living to eat. In the highlands on the other hand you could find many good ones and not so good ones around.

The listing here is by no means complete but based on what I had tried and also by recommendations by others. Some were excellent while some were mediocre and yet there were some you should very give it a wide berth as though it was the plague. I will not mention the bad ones unless I truly dislike it lest the owners come after me with a hatchet and bar me entry to the highlands.

The list here is by no means exhaustive and inclusions will be added if I ever do try out the eateries or perhaps through recommendations or suggestions by readers like your good self.
