Canopy Garden Dining & Bar, Bishan Park

Romantic Garden Dining with Le’ Brother

I was so into this romantic whimsical garden ambience that I suggested to my brother to visit this restaurant for dinner on a public holiday.

FYI, this review should rightfully be dated sometime during the Chinese New Year break in Febraury 2014 but I am posting it only now due to procrastination – I do procrastinate a lot especially the place is not worth a muse (shall elaborate in further in detail later).

Le’ Ambience

The restaurant cum bar is located in Bishan Park where lush greenery is spotted. We did a fair bit of walking in order to arrive at the destination but it was still OK. 

Le’ Counter Area…

The premises was actually not as big as we have thought and it consists of the indoors air-conditioned bistro area as well as the al fresco area. We opted to dine indoors as we do not enjoy perspiring in Singapore’s humid climate. 

Le’ Al Fresco Dining Area ~ So HUMID!

The interiors of the bistro is rather cozy and they have their desserts displayed at the refrigerated racks at the counter. Also, there was a refrigerated cellar located within the bistro itself.

Am grateful for the air-con!!!

Great Ambience!

Le’ Menu

The menu can be downloaded from the official website itself but here is an extract of the dinner menu we had the last time:

Le’ Food

Iced Water Served in a glass jug to cool us down 🙂

Lobster Pomodoro (SGD19.00++)

Spaghetti tossed with Lobster Meat and Rich Vine Tomato Basil Sauce 

Kriston ordered this dish and it tasted pretty normal to be honest. We still preferred the pasta served by Pasta Brava. 

Sakura Chicken (SGD26.00++)

Marinated with Mixed Herbs, served with Wedges, Seasonal Vegetables and Mushroom Sauce

This is the greatest disappointment judging from the price I paid for. The meat tasted rather DRY and the seasonal vegetables + mushroom sauce combination made the entire dish very Chinese-style. 

The taste was not fantastic too. OMG~ I couldn’t believe that I just squandered my $$ like that! 🙁

Food-whoring 🙂

Le’ Service

Service is not prompt. We had to wave at the waiter violently before he catches an eye on us. However it was still fine judging that they might be understaffed during the holiday season.

Overall

The ambience is good but the food sucks. It will still be good to experience garden dining in boring Singapore. However we have all decided that we will not return unless they allow us to bring outside food in to enjoy LOL.

Pricing: ★★★◐☆
