    For brunch, enjoyed their eggs benedict, bruccolini & eggs, eggs sur le plat, waffles. Milkshakes r thick & tasty too. Mushroom carbonara had too much truffle oil. Coffee is always good :-)

    Symmetry is one of those cafés which has good coffee AND good food. I had the Flan, an unassuming item tucked away at the corner of the menu, but don't be mistaken by the simple name - it's yummy!

    Truffle fries is a must. Minute steak is great. A tad too saltish but overall is great. Love the corned beef and hash. Difficult to find this simple dish nowadays.

    Don't be distraught if you can't get a seat inside. Having brunch al fresco is a breeze with the ample awning, natural shade from trees and fans. Try the Eggs Sur Le Plat. Spicy sausages with eggs.

    The pork belly Croissant - had good flavour, good quality croissant made with butter instead of margarine! Pork was moist, eggs scrambled well ..The arugula salad was dressed well - not over done!!

    The most awesome egg Benedict ever!! Instead of poached egg, theirs is low temp egg, something like onsen egg, will definitely be back again (though I'm from m'sia) and they serve great cuppa!!

    Dinner here is somewhat pricey with small portions, but the quality of food is awesome. Loved the hokkaido scallop appetiser, beef short ribs and steak

    Eggs benedict, chocolate milkshake, and latte were all good. Their iPad/SMS notifications are the best implementation of a queue system I've seen so far. Overall, great experience and ambience!

    Eggs Sur Le Plat (S$24) is delicious. Similar to eggs shakshoukha. Attentive service. Pretty expensive though. Fresh juice is S$10!

    Very good coffee. Extensive brunch menu too. Symmetry egg sur le plat (bottom right) is awesome - Tunisian-like breakfast. Worth a revisit!

    Best bacon in Singapore! It was almost a religious experience. Truffle eggs were amazing in both taste and presentation. Tomato was deliciously sweet and sauteed mushrooms had great umami flavor.

    Although it's rather pricey (expect $40 / pax), the food is really nice! Good ambience and service also. My fiancee and i ordered the Berkshire Pork and Beef ShortRibs. Very succulent and tasty!

    Prices are abit high but wonderful food. Recommended by very helpful staff: Beef cheek and duck leg. Tried the beef cheek and it was plain awesome! Good portion, can share for 2, Mocha is a must try.

    Had dinner of kurobuta pork bourguignon and lamb shank. Pork was really tender and lamb tasted succulent without being gamey. Flat white was very smooth and soothing too.

    Duck leg confit - crispy skin, tender meat. Comes with risotto, foie gras and mushrooms. Perfect!! All my favorite food in one dish!!

    Great hipster brunch cafe with Australian-style coffee and cosy decor. Eggs Sur le Plat was good, but the table arrangement are a little tight with minimal walking space. It’s crowded.

    We had best breakfast in Singapore here, however, the price tag is relatively expensive.. This is like standard European breakfast in Asian city. And if you like matcha, it isnt that great

    They've got this chaotically messy yet impeccably clean vibe going on. Delicious food and drinks too. The staff are snobby, but it kinda adds to the ambiance of the place.

    Slowly becoming brunch's worst kept secret, and it's no surprise with their fantastic brunch menu! Coffee is great too - which is a plus as there aren't all that many brunch places that can offer both

    As noted by most, this place is priced more like a restaurant than a cafe. Food is tasty though. Flat white ($5.5) better than average too.No brunch on weekdays but also less hectic which is pleasant.

    Vote for the Pancake, worth the price! For other main dishes I have to say they are a bit pricy comparing with the same quality food of other places.

    I have no idea why they insist on putting some kind of truffle aroma on their French fries but the serving is huge and comes with mayonnaise which makes this Dutch guy very happy.

    Give their Baby Carrot dessert a try. Excellent combi of textures & flavors, certainly not just another cafe bar. Nice concept & ambience. Totally more than that! I reccomend! :)b

    Haven't been there for a while but the one time we've been there had great brunch food at the bar. Super hip and cozy ambience would try to go again soon.

    A hipster resto cafe, feels like the kind you see in hip parts of London. Delicious breakfast and brunch options with carefully-made coffee.

    Brilliant lunch place tucked away in a quiet corner. Indoor can be a bit dark, so if the weather is nice enjoy the outdoor seating.

    Oh the waffles are to die for. The decor is old school and warm. The place is just a must visit at least once.

    Food's good, well-executed & atmosphere's cosy. Meatlovers, go for the Welsh Rarebit. The Pork Cheek main is really tender, melts in your mouth. Overall a great dining experience.
