Fika Cafe & Bistro


 A cafe that serve authentic Swedish cuisine in Singapore. The food are mainly traditional swedish cuisine and its halal too. There are currently 3 outlets, Beach Road, One KM mall and  Millenia Walk, so this review is for the outlet located at Beach Road. 



This is how it look like at level one, mainly for small groups or couples



Menu, refer to this link for their online menu







Cafe Mocha ($7.50)



Skagen (chilled) $19.90

Crepes wrapped with shrimps, red onions, mayonnaise, fresh dill and topped with Swedish roe. The crepes are too thick to my liking. Not for heavy eaters as the portion is small.





Garlic Pasta with Meatballs or Grilled Chicken ($19.90)

Linguine pasta, garlic, olive oil, parsley, chilli flakes and choice of either meatballs or grilled chicken. Pasta seems to be slightly overcooked.



Swedish Meatballs ($19.90)

Meatballs serve with potatoes. Cream sauce, lingonberry jam and a small side salad serve as side dishes. The meatballs are made up of minced meat, hence easy to eat.



Herb-crusted Salmon - ($26.50) 

Seared glazed salmon with a herb crust served on a bed of mashed potatoes with honey ginger glazed pickled red beets, sauteed asparagus and lemon butter sauce. Garnished with capers and fresh dill. 



Kladdkaka ($7.90), top up with Ice cream ($1.50) 


Swedish brownie served with fresh berries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. You can choose either chocolate or vanilla ice cream 



Caramel Ice Cream Waffle ($9.80) 

 This is off the menu but this week special. you have a choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream serve with waffle. Warm caramel sauce that drip over the ice cream and waffle, topped with biscuit bits and icing. Caramel sauce taste really good but the waffle taste more like flat, non chewy pancake which was a kind of disappointing.

Verdict 3/5

For the price of the food, i think it is consider quite cheap compare to similar cafe concept. What's more, they have set lunches for you to choose from which is quite worth the catch. Simple and good presentation of the food when served. I will recommend this place if you intend to have a small gathering with your friends or family members.

The Connoisseur Concerto - Dining

The Connoisseur Concerto - Dining 

The Connoisseur Concerto is the leading chain of art boutique caffès boasting a comprehensive selection of gourmet food and creative beverages.


Deluxe Snack Platter ($16.80) -  Consist of Onion Rings, Cheese dipper and mini pie, crispy and nice



Baby Crayfish Salad ($15) - Yummy and generous quantity of crayfish meat with Ebiko on the top of the salad, mixed with cheese and mayonnaise. This dish really attract me to have 2nd helping.


White fish with Yuzu sauce ($24.30) - White fish is grilled at the right heat, not too charred and meat is tender. With Yuzu sauce, matches the fish perfectly.




Wafu Beef Spaghetti - Beef is tender and soft, cooked at medium well perfectly. Spaghetti soaked in Japanese sauce, a little sweet and salty combination. 


Ribeye Steak - Succulent and juicy meat with BBQ sauce, definitely a must to try 


Chocolate Confession ( $6.90) - 3 layers of chocolate on top of the waffle biscuit. The combination of chocolate dont make u feel bloated.  


Blue mountain ($16.50) - Heavily roasted coffee taste, too thick for my liking 


Honey Citrus Fizz ($6.90) - Refreshing drink, must try


French Earl Gray ($9) - Lightly roasted taste, just nice for moderate flavour.


Christmas Platter (3-6pm only) - Merry Christmas!!


Caramel Ginger Crumble Crush - Icy cold espresso with milk is given an indulgent twist with caramel sauce, whipped cream, vanilla ice-cream and ginger crumble.


Almondo Frappé - Nutty and toasty flavours of almond are the hallmarks of this alluring ice-cold frappé. 



Tel: 6214 8858
Operational hour: Daily, Sunday & Public Holidays - 6am to 1am


Verdict: 3.5 / 5

Well, i don't much much complain about the food, they taste good. Waiting hour is very long if you are queuing during peak hour, the wait can last for 30mins. Service is acceptable speed, but can be better. As for the price, it is abit expensive.


Price per pax: $40++

Paella seafood - Generous giving of seafood 


Chicken leg


Chicken Schnitzel with Fries - Crispy on the outside, the meat is cooked firmly. Sauce is not very creamy, you will not feel overwhelming when eating with chicken.


Duck Confit on Mash - Crispy with nice decoration



Verdict: 3.5 / 5

Food taste ok, food decoration is good and really appetizing. Service is fast but the staffs are not attentive enough. Bill was passed to us very quickly after they cleared up our plates, is like asking us to leave already.
