Real Food Grocer
Recommended by Sandra and Gemhl – “yummy veggie dumplings!”
Presenting to you healthy Real Food right beneath our studio, this particular branch serves yummy vegan food that’s more than just salad! Try hot favourites like the Veggie Dumpling Noodles, Organic Mushroom Aglio Olio or Fried Spring Rolls. Yummy food without the guilt!
10 Sinaran Drive, Novena Square 2, B1-105/106/129
2. The Clueless Goat Speciality Coffee House
Recommended by Deborah – “great for brunch and coffee”
Just across the road, this place serves an affordable brunch ($13.60 for a full plate of British Breakfast Platter!) for those of you looking for a light meal and coffee – ALL DAY! With a wide spread to choose from, you’d be spoiled for choice.
189 Thomson Road
(between United Square and the traffic light junction)
3. Gyu-kaku
Recommended by Joyce – “For after you’ve had a long day and need some protein!”
You know you’re in the right place when this restaurant has over 600 outlets in Japan itself. Known for providing premium meats for their grill, this outlet at Novena does come with a “Casual Menu” which is a considerably wallet-friendlier option!
238 Thomson Road, 02-46 Novena Square, 307683
4. Caveman
Recommended by Kerstin – “Gluten Free and Dairy Free, PLUS no MSG!”
Heard of the Paleo diet but don’t really know what it is? Basically it goes back to our hunter-gatherer ancestry diet of fresh meat, fish, seeds, leafy greens and regional veggies. Best part? This place is right under our studio too!
10 Sinaran Drive, #B1-130 Square 2, 307506
5. La Ristrettos
Recommended by Angeline – “Buttermilk Pancake!”
Located just one floor down, this tucked away cafe provides the perfect blend of quietness and quality coffee. With both an indoor and outdoor seating area, this is one family-friendly cafe with kids-friendly menu options (Buttermilk Pancake as recommended by Angeline) to wait for your Pilates session at!
#08-37 Novena Medical Center, 10 Sinaran Drive, 307506
