Surprised by the quality and the taste of the food by this unassuming restaurant who called themselves a cafe. Not a single dish is underwhelming. All are overwhelming. The question is if I have the ability to take them all. For the first time, I took 2 coffees (rose latte for my appetisers and long black to go with the cakes) during my lunch. Photos may not do justice to the quality and taste of the food. The biggest surprise is this place is run by youngsters. Look at the aged meat…..Skillful culinary here.The funny thing is…… even the nuggets and truffle fries are good!

the food was better than we had even anticipated (even though we came in with pretty high expectations from all the raving reviews). service was good, can tell that the staff are passionate. the pork chop was so good my dad couldn’t stop raving about it- the quality and finesse justifies the price. salmon skin was soooo crisp & well-seasoned. we had not even planned to order the waffles (we were eyeing the tarts) but bc another table did, the smell of the waffle being made was soooo yummy we had to get it too :”) no regrets, it was perfectly crispy outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. the fruits as topping was a nice touch too! Overall, we rly enjoyed the food and will be back to try more dishes & maybe the drinks too.

Had dinner at this new cosy cafe and I must say i am very impressed with the taste of the food and the high quality of ingredients used. The signature pork chop is a must try! Thick cut and juicy! Vongole pasta is great too, slurp off every single bit of the pasta sauce. Will be back to try other dishes!

Love the food here.ate here in a big group so had a little taste of everyone’s choices. The Scallops with Sweet Potato Mash was nicely presented n tasted as good as it looked too. The Duroc Pork Vhoo was my fave; juicy n tender with a good potato mash too. I had d Lemon Meringue Tart which was perfect in d balance of sweet n sour. If only d crust wasn’t so hard.

Andrew 安德鲁好介绍! Nestled in a quiet estate called the Opera Estate, away from the hustle n bustle of the city, lies this very comfy and cozy little cafe called Cafe De Swan. I felt really at ease when I first set foot into this food n beverage joint. The waitress who attended to us was so polite n cheerful. She even answered so many of our questions with a smile throughout. She made us feel so at home. It took us a while to scroll through the menu as it was our first visit to this place after a tip off from a foodie friend. We ended ordering our dishes based on the recommendations from the waitress. I had the Duroc Pork Chop that came with sautéed mushrooms n mashed potatoes. I was initially undecided between a ribeye steak or a pork chop. But the waitress kept assuring me that their pork chop along with their ribeye, are two of their best sellers. I went with pork chop. But I will certainly be back soon to try their ribeye steak. I am not exaggerating here but this has to be one of the best pork chops that I have ever eaten in my life. It is soft n tender, with a little bits of fats spreaded all round and a little charred at the edges. Every bite oozes plentiful of flavour n it wasn’t dry at all. The sides that came along with it were also done to perfection. No complaints whatsoever. Excellent is my verdict! My wife ordered the half chicken. It came with broccolini, mashed potatoes, shimeji and brown sauce. She said:”Very Nice!” She cut out a small portion, that I believe is the breast meat and left it on my plate. To my surprise, it was soft n juicy, unlike most breast meat. I have to admit that the chef did an excellent job here for both the main dishes that we ordered. The housemade beef meatballs were delicious too! As my wife doesn’t take beef, I finished all 6 pcs without battling an eyelid. It was yummy! The tiger prawns were ok but not something we would crave for. I guess it’s because the spices used weren’t something we are used to. I prefer Hae Pia! My wife ordered affogato with a single scoop of gelato to end our meal. I had a few sips of it. Pleasantly surprised! It was good. I am a local kopi uncle. But I thought this one really “buay pai lim”! Overall, I had my friend to thank for recommending me this place. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have set foot into this cafe. A Hidden Gem indeed. I will be back! Note: Free parking along the roadside. For those taking public transport, this place is one bus stop away from Bedok Mall. Operating Hours: 11.30am to 10.30pm Daily @ Cafe de Swan 29 Swan Lake Avenue, S(455718). #CESG #caneat #andrew好介绍
