What recent reviews say

The kitchen delivers standout steaks and meat dishes that earn consistent praise for tenderness and flavour; mashed potatoes and seasonal cakes round out a menu that surprises regulars. Staff are attentive and hospitable, the glass-walled room catches morning light, and portion sizes justify the pricing for most diners, though a few found certain dishes and explanations fell short on their first visit.

LAVIE Boulangerie

Reviewers consistently single out LAVIE's pastries as the draw: pistachio mochi croissants, kouign amman, and egg tarts arrive flaky, buttery, and less cloying than typical bakery fare. Many note the unassuming storefront masks a genuinely impressive counter inside, catching them pleasantly off-guard. Staff serve warm pastries during dine-in and keep things quiet compared to neighbouring cafes. Recent reports (mid-2025) flag occasional dryness in signature items like croissants, though kouign amman has since recovered. The L-shaped layout means limited seating, and noise from staff has occasionally disrupted the calm atmosphere.

Reviewers consistently praise the calm, garden-like setting and bagel selection, with many calling it a hidden oasis. Yet quality control and service speed divide opinions sharply: baked goods sometimes arrive stale or poorly reheated, mains lack seasoning or proper technique, and 30-minute waits frustrate customers at premium prices. Staff honesty (one owner returned a lost watch) counts for something, but kitchen execution needs work. Tea service and mochi bread earn mentions, though a recent chef change is cited as reason to reconsider. The aesthetic clearly works on Instagram; whether the food matches the vibe depends which visit you catch.

Dujour draws regulars for its outdoor garden setting, generous breakfast portions, and specialty items like potato millefeuille with pulled BBQ chicken. Food quality swings sharply: some love the fish and chips and pies, others find dishes oversalted, cold, or average for the price. Service is warm but occasionally misses the mark. Located in Seksyen 19 (and formerly SS2), the café offers brunch, pastries, and a wide menu spanning nasi kerabu to french toast. Their website lists catering and customised orders. Quality matters here, so visit on a good day and ask staff for current highlights.
