Joo Chiat’s food spots are reason enough to explore this colourful neighbourhood. Known for its Peranakan heritage and shophouse charm, the area is a hotspot for traditional eateries and trendy cafes. From old-school laksa to artisanal bakes, Joo Chiat is brimming with places worth eating your way through. Don’t forget to admire its contributions to street art in Singapore<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Joo Chiat guide: Best food and drinks<\/h2>\n

1. Kings Cart Coffee \/ Joo Chiat Oyster House<\/h3>\n
\"Kings

You know how superheroes have a secret identity? This food spot in Joo Chiat is kinda like that. By day, Kings Cart Coffee serves up a mean cup of joe in some unique Singapore flavours. Think the likes of cold brew topped with pandan sweet cream, and a classy rendition of the yuen yang<\/a>. By night, its alter ego takes over, turning into Joo Chiat Oyster House after 5pm. And it serves up some mean oysters topped with chimichurri, ponzu balsamic, and yuzu foam. You get the best of both worlds in just one spot!

2. La Bottega Enoteca<\/h3>\n

If you want to taste some of the best pizza Singapore has to offer, you must head to La Bottega Enoteca. Chef Antonio Miscellaneo lives and breathes all things Italian. Ingredients are fresh and dishes are all made in-house, from the pasta and pizza dough to the gelato. The Neapolitan pizzas may take a hot minute to get to your table, but they are flaky, chewy and oh-so worth it.

3. Salt & Palm<\/h3>\n
\"salt

Modern Asian cuisine is the name of the game at Salt & Palm. You can thank chef Natasya Soetantyo for the creative direction behind the food. With her at the helm, tuck into a diverse showcase of Indonesian cuisine. Dishes on the menu are rotated often to keep things fresh, so you can enjoy a new experience with every visit. Wine lovers can also tuck into bottles of natural and conventional wines available at this restaurant that’s been specially curated to complement Salt & Palm’s cuisine.
\nSalt & Palm<\/a>, 467 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427678<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Blue Smoke<\/h3>\n

Created by the same team that’s behind the 1925 Brewing Co, this contemporary Asian smokehouse celebrates all things Asian with a Texan-style cooking method. Proteins like lamb, crispy pork belly, and octopus are grilled and smoked in limited portions. So don’t be surprised if there’s none when you get there, ’cause this place is quite the popular spot. But even though it’s a meat haven, you gotta try the cauliflower steak. Grilled with miso butter and served with yuzu sauce, it’s the perfect main for your vegetarian pals.

5. Micro Bakery & Kitchen<\/h3>\n
\"Micro

If you’re like us and can’t get enough of good ol’ artisanal bakes, we’ve got just the place for you! Micro is a small-batch bakery that fills itself to the brim with bread and pastries that are freshly baked daily. You’ll feel right at home as you take a seat in this cosy spot. Order a coffee and dishes like the green goddess avocado tartine or grilled flatbread with mushrooms. It’s the perfect weekend brunch, sorted. Plus, it’s situated within the iconic Red House, so you definitely can’t miss it.
\nMicro Bakery & Kitchen<\/a>, 63 East Coast Road, Singapore 428776<\/em><\/p>\n

6. 328 Katong Laksa<\/h3>\n

Slurp on laksa (noodles in coconut milk-based curry broth) the traditional way with just a spoon. This eatery is one of the famous stalls that claim to be the original makers of the popular local dish. Want affordable food in Joo Chiat? You know where to go.

The smell of freshly baked goods always reels us into this quaint bakery<\/a>. This local hidden gem churns out crusty French loaves, flaky croissants and other small batch pastries that your heart desires. Oh, and did we mention they\u2019re free of improvers, preservatives and artificial flavours? It\u2019s so good, it sells out quickly! If you end up missing out on the morning bakes, never fear. The team takes reservations for afternoon bakes that you can collect later in the day.
\nPetit Pain Bakery<\/a>, 315 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427566<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe<\/h3>\n

This lovely cafe concept by the Awfully Chocolate folks is a highlight in the hip Joo Chiat ‘hood. Chocolate taps tempering fresh cocoa, an array of pastries and pies baked in-house, and a scrummy menu can be found. If you’re popping by in the afternoon, tuck into the brunch menu. You’ve got both sweet and savoury options that pair perfectly with coffee, tea, or even wine.

This Katong gem is a crowd favourite amongst easties thanks to its diverse range of food stalls. It serves a mix of Singaporean, French<\/a>, Filipino<\/a>, Japanese<\/a>, and Western<\/a> food.

Know what\u2019s even better than ice cream? Super-smooth gelato (made fresh daily) at this gelato house on East Coast Road. But what makes it truly special is its array of signature flavours \u2013 the gelato is made using natural and botanical ingredients like basil and blue ginger. And it’s heavily influenced by Southeast Asian palates. It creates a refreshing gelato experience with aromas close to home. Get the true taste of Singapore with its pandan-flavoured gelato!
\nBirds Of Paradise<\/a>, 63 East Coast Road, Singapore 428776<\/em><\/p>\n

We don’t play when it comes to nasi lemak. It\u2019s all about perfecting the art of crisp chicken wings, flavourful coconut rice, and tantalisingly spicy sambal chilli. However you feel about Ponggol Nasi Lemak, you can’t deny that its rendition is a crowd favourite. It definitely deserves its rep as one of the best on the island.

16. Mr and Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Roti Prata<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve taken some amazing shots of the Peranakan houses at Koon Seng Road, adjourn to Tin Yeang Restaurant. It\u2019s more of an old school eatery with various options to choose from. Go ahead and order Mr and Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Roti Prata. Look past the long waiting time, and you\u2019ll be rewarded with some of the crispiest \u2013 and fluffiest \u2013 roti prata in Singapore.

17. Lower East Side<\/h3>\n
\"Lower
Photography: Lower East Side via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This joint was one of the first Mexican food-inspired concepts to pop up along Joo Chiat, and it’s been a staple ever since. It’s a must-visit stop for tacos, quesadillas, and churros. We recommend getting the hardshell twin tacos for that extra crunchy bite. Be sure to pair it off with one of the hot sauces for a true Lower East Side experience. How hot can you go?
\nLower East Side<\/a>, #01-02, 19 East Coast Road, Singapore 428746<\/em><\/p>\n

18. Smokey\u2019s BBQ<\/h3>\n

Opened by true blue Americans in 2009, the meats here are smoked by custom-made smokers. Talk about dedication! It uses a unique blend of hickory and mesquite wood chips to deliver smokey goodness. Get your hands messy with the baby back pork ribs or any of the burger options they have available.

Besides the flavoursome menu of specialty coffees, Baker\u2019s Well is also home to decadent in-house sweet treats. Get healthy muffins, banana cakes, buttery croissants, and even mini fruit tarts.

\nBaker\u2019s Well<\/a>, 35 East Coast Road, Singapore 428754<\/em><\/p>\n

20. Baba Chews Bar & Eatery<\/h3>\n

Housed within the former Joo Chiat Police Station, the restaurant retains much of its colonial charm of the 20s. White walls brighten up the cosy establishment. Homely, colourful motif-scattered tiles are contrasted against metal mesh sliding panels that are more contemporary than stifling. Stand-out dishes include the ayam buah keluak, beef cheek rendang and assam curry fish.

22. Zaffron Kitchen<\/h3>\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for mistaking Zaffron Kitchen for a high-end gastropub. After all, with its sleek fixtures and cool downtown vibe, it hardly looks like your typical Indian restaurant. But rest assured, the menu serves the real deal with classic Indian food. It looks good and tastes even better. An absolute must-try is the dum chicken biryani. A seriously moreish dish with fluffy basmati rice and succulent pieces of chicken.

This is where you\u2019ll get a glimpse of Peranakan culture. Start with learning about the traditions and food. Then move on to lifestyle with a collection of artefacts, embroidery crafts, knick knacks and furniture pieces.

For Instagram-worthy shots of Katong, walk around Joo Chiat Road. Here’s where you get to check out the many carefully-conserved Peranakan shophouses, which have been around since the early 1900s. No Joo Chiat adventure is complete without a stroll past the renowned shophouses along Koon Seng Road. Narrow and tall, these houses are adorned with the signature ceramic Peranakan floral or geometrical tiles and pastel faces. Look out for the Chinese couplets below the windows \u2013 these motifs are believed to bring good fortune.<\/p>\n

38. Village Hotel Katong<\/h3>\n

Located in the Katong-Joo Chiat district, Village Hotel Katong defies cookie-cutter hotel designs. Its Peranakan decor is inspired by the heritage of its colourful surroundings. Bold, bright design accents feature heavily in its rooms \u2013 think cerulean, patterned carpets with matching throw pillows, and similarly brilliant colour hues for its headboard and window seat. The major bonus is room size. Even its smallest Superior Room flaunts a size of 29 square metres \u2013 a far cry from the standard 23 square metres. If you\u2019re (reasonably) splurging, book the Peranakan Club which comes with an in-room tub for sumptuous soaks over your fave TV programme.
