Café Landmark is reopening this September with a new look and menu

The iconic balcony spot returns with Tuscan vibes, Japanese-French bites, a dessert trolley, and its first cocktail programme

Café Landmark is reopening this September with a new look and menu

After a brief hiatus, Café Landmark is set to reopen on September 4 in the Central neighbourhood. The beloved restaurant, which has been a staple since 2001, has transformed its interior with a new aesthetic inspired by sun-drenched Tuscan terraces. Featuring the same beloved booth seats and a warmer, earthier colour palette, the space invites guests to enjoy its outdoor balcony while keeping an eye on the bustling shoppers below.

The revamped menu incorporates Japanese influences into its classic French foundation. Diners can once again enjoy old favourites, this time elevated with a touch of Japanese flair. For instance, the Boston lobster spaghetti ($428) now boasts pasta tossed in a luxurious shrimp head foam, while the fresh crab meat au gratin ($328) showcases sweet crab meat from up to four flower crabs baked to perfection. The beef stroganoff ($268) is now served in a cast-iron pot over rice infused with morel and shiitake mushrooms.

For those dining in, there's the option to share a Dover sole meunière ($988), where the fish is deboned right at the table. Alternatively, indulge in the decadent grilled M6 tenderloin with foie gras ($488), finished off with freshly shaved truffle. Dessert lovers can look forward to the arrival of The Dessert Trolley at 2.30pm, offering a table-side experience to mix and match artisanal cakes or pastries, a scoop of ice cream or sorbet, and a coffee or tea from a rotating lineup of over 10 daily treats. Priced at $268, this sweet indulgence is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

To complement the culinary delights, mixologist Kenzo Lee has curated a bespoke beverage programme, featuring eight unique drinks. Options include the lobster-inspired gin sour Boston Breeze ($120), the herbaceous Verde & Rosso cocktail ($125) with fresh basil and shiso, the Champagne-based Petal Fizz ($125), and a fruity avocado mocktail called Tropical Velvet ($115). With doors opening on September 4, Café Landmark invites guests to start planning their leisurely afternoon of cocktail sipping and people-watching.
