The Populus

There is truly something special about this brunch place. Not sure if it's the decadent food, the superb service or the fantastic atmosphere and decor. I first ordered their homemade cold mocha brew, and it was very rich in flavor and literally the best way to start your day. For the mains, we ordered fried chicken topped on a crispy spring onion pancake and a giant croissant filled with creamy scrambled eggs and sizzling bacon. I loved both of them, not sure which one more. The pancakes with chicken was very hearty and the egg and bacon croissant is a classic. We ordered their walnut cheesecake for dessert to split and it was moist, but firm at the same time with a tasty frosting. The food prices may seem expensive, but for the great quality ingredients and inspired plates you are getting, it's totally worth it. The restaurant is a bit small and can be very busy, so make sure to reserve before hand. The cooks are very talented, apparently they won quite a few competitions in the past.

During our recent visit, we decided to sample the seafood linguine and the Halibut & Soba dishes. While the prices were on the higher side, I must say that both selections were undeniably delicious, making the expenditure worth it. cFor those planning to dine here, I strongly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially given its popularity. However, keep in mind that it might not be an ideal spot for a work session, as the dining time is limited to around 70-90 minutes during peak hours. Overall, this establishment left a positive impression, and I'm eager to return and explore more of what they have to offer.

Nice ambience with coffee aroma when step into the cafe. The coffee is nice and suit my preference. All the food we order is nice and tastes good. Definitely will come back again.
