it. It really reminds me so much of what Aussie cafes would be like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The view to the garden outside adds a feel of tranquility to the cafe. They have seats in this alfresco garden area, if you need some fresh air in the morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Love the mock brick wall which makes the cafe look foreign and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is so hidden, the traffic is sparse and you will be able to enjoy your coffee and meal comfortably without fear of loud laughters or squealing babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_61 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/cafehopping.sg\/review-post\/la-ristrettos-singapore\/#FOOD_DRINKS\" title=\"FOOD &amp; DRINKS\">FOOD &amp; DRINKS<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/cafehopping.sg\/review-post\/la-ristrettos-singapore\/#IN_A_NUTSHELL\" title=\"IN A NUTSHELL\">IN A NUTSHELL<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fancy-title-144\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FOOD_DRINKS\"><\/span>FOOD &amp; DRINKS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I ordered a&nbsp;<strong>Cafe Latte<\/strong>. It is quite strong and rich but it doesn\u2019t leave behind any bitter aftertaste. I love how it is fragrant and tasty yet really gentle on the tongue! Lovely brew there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cafehopping.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/La-Ristrettos-food-Review.webp\" alt=\"La Ristrettos food Review\" class=\"wp-image-702\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The chicken was fried to perfect crispiness and it was not too salty or oily. The salty mayo and soft avocado on top added on to the moisture and flavour of the dish. The wild garden salad at the side was one of the more decent tasting ones around. No weird bitter taste and the dressing was nice. I would say that the dish was average on the whole and I would be excited to try the other dishes the next time I come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fancy-title-996\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IN_A_NUTSHELL\"><\/span>IN A NUTSHELL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I really love the interior of&nbsp;<strong>La Ristrettos&nbsp;<\/strong>and I would come back any time! The great coffee, good offering of food and great service have made my experience a super good one. It has definitely made the list of my favourite cafes. Moreover, it is a laptop friendly cafe, though the wifi and 3G reception here is quite weak. As it was my first time, the friendly staff gave me a 10% discount. I am also glad to say that this is another tax-free cafe! I strongly urge you to explore this cafe, and I promise that you would love the beauty of its secret location!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always thought that semi industrial area like Jalan Besar and Farrer Park are the most unimaginable areas for cafe setups, until I met La Ristrettos at Novena Medical Centre.
