1. Les Bouchons

Les Bouchons is known for its steak and fries, and we can’t imagine anything better than deliciously grilled meat. Other highlights include traditional French classics like French onion soup and escargot. Round it off with a glass (or bottle) of wine, which is hand-picked and selected by the owner himself. A dessert list is available upon request – look forward to classics like creme brulee or lava cake with ice cream.

Surrounded by lush greenery, Gary’s is located in a two-storey black and white bungalow. Here, it’s all about warm and hearty Italian food. Enjoy both time-honoured traditional fare and modern contemporary dishes.

3. Legendary Hong Kong @ Rochester Commons

Is there anything better than trays of steaming hot dim sum? We don’t think so. Run by professional chefs from Hong Kong, this classy establishment offers a wide selection on its menu. Come with a group and get a little bit of everything from roasted meats to classic dim sum dishes like siew mai and steamed dumplings. Tip: plan your visit as it can get pretty crowded during peak hours.

Perfect for brunch, dinner, or after-work drinks, Chirz is an Asian-fusion restaurant serving up classic hawker-inspired bites.

Her constant experimentation with combining local fare and international cuisine has led her to set up this cosy bistro in Rochester.
