Prior to the pandemic, many of us often travelled to Bali, which is just a mere two-hour flight away, for a short getaway.
Unfortunately, it still doesn’t seem like we’re able to do that anytime soon. But, not to worry as AVENUE ONE has you covered with our compilation of 10 restaurants in Singapore that will help you relive your days in Bali with the amazing atmosphere and food.
1. Wildseed Cafe at Alkaff Mansion
Quietly tucked on a hill at Telok Blangah, the setting and environment at Wildseed Cafe will definitely remind you of an outdoor wedding being held along the beach in bali. Only difference? This is actually in sunny Singapore and you are not located along a beach.
Enjoy freshly-roasted coffee, a variety of floral cakes and pastries as well as hearty weekend brunch favourites such as the Bagel Eggs Benny, Big Pan Breakfast, and many more. Not a fan of brunch? Wildseed Cafe also offers menus for all-day fare so you can feel free to drop by any time of the day.
This restaurant is also pet-friendly so you can bring your fur buddies along with you to enjoy a day out together.
Wildseed Cafe at Alkaff Mansion is located at 10 Telok Blangah Green, Singapore 109178.
2. The Halia
Located in the middle of the Ginger Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens, The Halia boasts a huge menu that caters to everyone’s needs from brunch menus to kids menus and all-day dining menus – in other words, you will definitely be spoilt for choice.
Given a choice of either indoor dining or an al fresco seating outdoors, the ambience and view will definitely have you reminiscing about your times in Bali. We do, however, highly recommend opting for the outdoor dining seats as the furnishings and clearer view gives you that rustic vibe we often find in Bali.
Other than the usual cafe staples we like to enjoy, The Halia also offers various dishes that are suitable for vegetarians so you don’t need to worry too much about family or friend’s dietary restrictions other than allergies.
