Garden Cafe

While it's understandable that you'll be too busy chowing down on an extra large portion of pork trotters bee hoon or tau kwa pau at newly launched The Orchard Cafe to notice your surroundings, do take a break between mouthfuls and feast your eyes on the verdant, garden-inspired interiors as well. The multi-million dollar transformation was spearheaded by acclaimed Hong Kong design firm Aedas, and the result is a living microcosm of our garden city. Calm green hues dominate the colour scheme, while wicker-accented furniture and generous space to roam around the buffet stations make this a place you can spend hours in, sampling the myriad Asian and international offerings. In the evenings, check out the bar with its semi-alfresco setting surrounded by landscaped greenery, and the dramatic double story glass panels etched with tropical leaf motifs.

The Orchard Cafe is at Orchard Hotel Singapore. Tel: 6739-6565
