MERCHANTS' LANE

This café-restaurant, hidden away on the second floor of an old shophouse on Jalan Merchants', is very popular with young locals, who flock here for weekend brunches. It offers a pleasant, trendy setting: three singularly decorated rooms, indoors or on the covered terrace, in a neo-industrial style. The menu features local, Western and fusion dishes, as well as pastries. Don't expect great gastronomy, but rather comfort food that can be very satisfying. Ideal for a gentle start to the day.
