Always a good place for catching up thanks to a diverse selection of aromatic coffees.
My 3rd time dining at Telegraph and 2nd time in the same month! Food is good and service is always excellent. Special mention of Jon who made a special tag for the birthday gal and pasted it on the seat. We had an awesome time. Will come back again! Thank you, Jon!
My 2nd visit to Telegraph. Another awesome experience especially with Jon’s friendly and warm service. Love the vibes in the place. Highly recommended.
Foods nice. Environment good. Nice places for weekend date 😀
Taste is soso, nothing fantastic. Pricey for the portion served.
We loved the menu for it's interesting and reasonably priced choices. It was very helpful that the servers advised us. Every dish we had was right portioned, elegant & delicious (definitely creative, restrained, and not run-of-the-mill) and fresh. We had the scallops pesto pasta; the tiger prawns truffle alfredo, and finished off with the dark chocolate tart with "sand" blue berries and vanilla icecream. All 3 were excellent, but the desert was outstanding - it surprised us how good it was. We also enjoyed the mocktails and were grateful for the wide selection. (While we didn't have it, seeing Cloudy Bay on the wine list earned the restaurant a lot a credit as it's my favourite among NZ options). Thank you. We're very glad we went.
Getting crowded. The lunch sets also seem to be either getting more expensive or smaller in portion size.
Rather crowded during lunch but that’s a testimony to the good service and good.
all the pasta and good we ordered were great. service by Jonathan was amazing!!!
[BURPPLE 1-FOR-1 DEAL] Choose from your pick of burpple deals at this cafe bistro at the swanky new Guoco Midtown. We went with the Mains + Bar Bites combo, meaning from a selection we could get two sets of Mains + Bar Bites for the price of 1, worth! For Bar Bites, we got the Har Cheong Gai Winglets ($16.80) and Grilled Lamb Chops ($26.60). Winglets were crisp, juicer, but could use slight bit more intensity in flavour. Lamb chops came in such a large portion, but about a quarter of it were the fats haha! Otherwise, the lamb was grilled well and nicely seasoned, without the gamey taste but a tad too oily for my liking. As for the mains, we went with the Hokkaido Scallop Pesto ($24.80) and Miso Baked Salmon ($26.80). While the scallops weren't quite fresh the pesto pasta was quite addictive and paired nicely with the fusili. On the other hand, the baked salmon was a tad overcooked and underseasoned, with the only flavour being some kind of miso mayo squeezed on top of the salmon. At least marinate the salmon in miso! The saving grace was the mashed potatoes which was buttery and creamy. Overall, food was decent but there is room for improvement. Service given was also just passable. Ambience of the place was nice but somewhat stuffy and warm. But the burpple deal sweetened the meal, with the total for the 4 dishes plus a pint of beer coming up to just $76. Sign up for Burpple with my invite code DARR9295 to enjoy 1-for-1 deals here and at many other restaurants now!
Food and service was average, loud table nearby destroyed the nice ambiance. But no queues!
Awesome environment for friends to chill. Good food. Fun loving manager makes the whole Atmosphere light heartened and warm. Highly recommended!
Love the food and the service. Manager Jon is a fantastic employee. We have a comfortable dining experience. There was also complimentary cake on the house for my birthday friend. Will come again for the food and services. Thank you
The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
With burpple, it's a good deal. The food was not bad and the ambience was good too.
food was ok only. staff were friendly, except for 1 serving staff who was quite rude when serving the food...
Good service. Spacious dining area, outdoor seating option. Interesting selection of food. Free ice water was served without asking, which is getting rare in Singapore
Food was great and delicious! although there was some mix up with the usage of burpple, staff were kind enough to clear up the issue with us.
Food was not exceptional, and a top up fee for the coffee was not something I would choose, if I return. Staff's attentiveness was good.
Good place to chill at Friday night. Many patrons visiting. Do make reservation before that.
Nice juices and coffee and food super nice ambience. High recommended!
Nice restaurant at the new midtown modern. Classy and let friendly area. Nice ambience and nice food!
Nice place and love the juices. Nice place to dine, catch-up.
Great value for money set lunch and pleasant ambience. Nice generous serving of salad and mash potato with the dish.
A nice place to dine, comfortable seating and a large variety of food n beverage. But food were cold…
The food was good but the service was quite slow
Good food and great service. Staff was knowledgeable about the menu. They were patient with my request for a last req to change table settings.
Very nice ambience with friendly staff, overall the food were delicious and value for money.
Visitation time was in the afternoon. With very few customers around, music was at full blast. Not conducive if looking to chill at that moment.
Always ask for Magic or piccolo lotte while you are here. Excellent coffee and also nice coffee art!
Newly released 3-course lunch sets are a steal at ~$20! Highly recommended!
The creme brulee cappuccino was a letdown. Do not try it.
Late afternoon session was marred by drilling sounds. Unfortunately there were some surrounding construction works causing this.
Thanks to the variety of coffee choices there was something for everyone in our party of 3.
A place which serves great coffee. Service was warm and pleasant.
The place is amazing with fantastic service. Fresh salmon + delicious breakfast set
Always a pleasure to lunch or take a coffee break here. Service is great. No complaints.
Service level is great. Always feel welcome whenever I drop by.
Power points are provided, and aircon leak was fixed. A pleasant place to work/ chill and get caffeinated.
Good place to work and sip coffee on the side.
Stuffy in the morning and slightly noisy with some drilling going on outside. Coffee and service was impeccable.
It was a bit stuffy in the morning (new policy to run aircon only from 9am onwards?) otherwise ok.
Morning is the best time to visit. They make good coffee.
Service was excellent as usual.Sat outside - it was too hot on hindsight. More fans would be good.
Music was too loud in the morning. Tried the yuzu muffin - interesting but slightly too sweet.
Tried the moutai coffee. Would recommend to give this a pass as the moutai flavour was not quite detectable.
Good place for breakfast. Quiet if seated outdoors. Coffee was excellent as usual.
Service was excellent. Variety of food ensured something delicious every time I dined here. E.g. the kale salad was very tasty.
A good place to catch up with friends. Coffee was good.
The Telegraph is quiet in the morning (in terms of crowd) which is a shame given the breakfast and coffee choices. In particular the different coffees were all good.
