Established in 2012 by celebrity baker, Dean Brettschneider, Baker & Cook is a popular artisanal bakery cafe with 12 outlets in Singapore.

We’ve dined at several of their outlets before, but we frequent the Dempsey Hill outlet because of its ambiance and great food. More than these, they are also pet-friendly and kids-friendly!

Baker & Cook has some really mean bakes, and we love the Dempsey outlet because it shares the space with their sister brand, Plank Sourdough Pizza. You get the best of both worlds: bakes and brunch fare from Baker & Cook with stellar pizzas from Plank Sourdough Pizza.

Life is better when you’re enjoying the outdoors with a beautiful (and affordable) Hanger Steak. More than just a steak, the Grilled Barley Fed Hanger Steak comes complete with amazing duck fat roasted potatoes and Jerusalem artichoke.

Indulge in this flavourful Italian rice dish of assorted mushroom and parmigiana reggiano. Comes in a generous portion, the Truffle Risotto is so rich and creamy that we’re salivating just thinking about it again! It is also one of the few vegetarian items on the menu!

The Kuhlbarra Barramundi En Papillote was so satisfying! Think a big slab of fresh barramundi, potatoes, shrimps, chicken broth, dill and lemon – all baked together to bring out the natural flavours and sweetness of every fresh ingredient. Mamma Mia!

When in doubt, eat pizza. But not any pizza! Make it this Burrata & Parma Ham Pizza because why not? You get the best of all worlds, and it is only S$28 for this huge serving! It was a monthly special for September 2021 and because it did so well (fourfold the monthly average!), they brought it back in October 2021 and will be in the core menu, known as Pizza 11 moving forward. Yes, they name all their pizzas in numbers!

With its airy compound and comprehensive menu, enjoy a hearty family meal at the Dempsey outlet while your kids and pets have fun amongst the lush greenery.

After coming up with Guides to Holland Village, Chip Bee Garden, and Dempsey Road restaurants, I have been thinking: where’s next? I want to blog about a dining area which is not known to most, and hopefully it will encourage you to check it out.

The stretch of Greenwood Avenue restaurants immediately came to mind: a) there’s a good mix of Brazilian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, and Western restaurant, b) the restaurants at Greenwood Avenue are nice for a quiet dinner away from the city and c) not many people have been there before.

Here’s a complete guide to the Greenwood Avenue Restaurants:

Cafe Iguana //Now closed

Sometimes, it can get a little boring when we are always having French, Italian or Japanese food. One of my new year resolutions is to be more adventurous and try out some exotic cuisine that I have never tried before – Mexican food at Cafe Iguana is definitely next on the agenda!

Chat Masala Too!

The Singapore Food & Beverage industry is a very difficult place to survive in – restaurants open and close all the time. When I walked past Chat Masala Too restaurant after my dinner at Greenwood fish market, the Indian restaurant was completely empty for the night. If you are a fan of the Indian food there, I think you need to get some friends down to support them before it’s too late.

Donna Carmela/Caipirinha

From what I understand, Donna Carmela and Caipirinha belong under the same owner, with the former being an Italian restaurant and the latter serving Brazilian churrascaria.

Greenwood Fish Market

When I went to Greenwood Fish Market three years ago, I had the best fish and chips in my life! Is the fish and chips still as good? Wait for my next post, I will be blogging about the supposedly “best fish and chips in Singapore” (from my memory).

La Braceria Pizza and Grill

Positioned directly at the back of Greenwood is Greendale Avenue, there’s La Braceria Pizza and grill. I actually missed it when I was there, and only came to know about it after coming across the restaurant online.

Lana Cake Shop

Can you believe it? I HAVE NOT TRIED LANA CHOCOLATE CAKE BEFORE! Pfft!

I can foresee that this will probably be one of my biggest regret in life. Okay, I shall make an order for the legendary chocolate cake from Lana Cake Shop soon!

Get me a slice of the lana chocolate cake, and I will love you forever!

Peperoni Pizzeria

Having heard good things about Peperoni Pizzeria, this is definitely the next restaurant at Greenwood Avenue that I want to try.

Punggol Choon Seng Seafood Restaurant

The Chinese seafood restaurant seems a little out of place in Greenwood Avenue, but hey, if you are craving for some Chinese seafood, here’s the place for you.

Raku Japanese Restaurant & Bar

I’m not too sure if you will go all the way to Greenwood Avenue for Raku Japanese restaurant since they have another branch in Holland Village. With that being the only deciding factor, I’d probably go for the Japanese ala carte buffet at Shin Yuu Japanese restaurant instead.

Now, who says that there’s no good food in the West of Singapore? Holland Village, Chip Bee Garden, and Greenwood Avenue are all located in the West. There are actually plenty of nice restaurants and cafes in the west if you know where to find them.

Tell me, which is your favorite restaurant at Greenwood Avenue, and which one are you going to try next?
