👍👍 Excellent food coupled with prompt service and nice atmosphere. Nice place to chill and have a drink though menu selection was kind of limited. Would be nice to have a selection of dessert and wider range of appetizers or snack food to go with the drinks. Will be back. People often mention good, friendly, great, service, nice, chill, wings, goreng,

    Good environment food is okay nothing to complain about. Would say the foie gras a bit overcooked. But it’s fine in terms of flavor. Love the oysters but warning you it’s not cheap!

    Overall foods taste good with reasonable price. Service need to improve and I felt they short of manpower. Windy place to chill!

    Was a bit apprehensive from the recent reviews, but it was as good as before COVID. New furniture with the same look and feel, service is actually better than our last visit in 2019. And food (the ones we tried - fish and chip, horfun, chicken wings) all had the same standard.

    A bistro with a cool vibe. Many pet owners brought their furkid along and I’m no exception. Food is not bad. A bit pricey I think. Car parking is a premium.

    A meal at Bark Cafe was completely impromptu, we were bound for another place but couldn’t get any seats, hence decided to stop by when we saw it while driving. Boy, was it a blessing in disguise. Despite not making a reservation, we were lucky enough to land seats the moment we arrived. Staff members were very friendly and helpful, and also apologised when one of our food items came later. Food was delicious, ambience was great. A very very pleasant meal indeed, huge thanks to all the staff! :)

    Had our dinner at the Bark Cafe together with our dog Baileys. Order the Roast Chicken and Mee Goreng as our main. Two Hokkaido Oyster as side. Oysters were fresh worthy to try. Roast Chicken was also nicely baked and the nice live music overall experience was good

    4.5 stars (bonus star for being pet friendly!) lovely place to hang out with (fur)iends with a live band when we visited and a relaxing, soft lit atmosphere. the cafe closes late as well, so we had a lot more time to chill and chat. the food was pricey but for once, I thought it was relatively worth it (except the grilled fish, that was a little dry). portions are small though. well-seasoned duck and creamy risotto, served with great mashed potatoes. cocktails were pretty amazing, and honestly the highlight of our night. a little expensive, but large serving size made up for it. thank god, they weren’t stingy with the alcohol portion either. they were classic, tasty and in our opinion, great value. on top of all that, we found a fly in one of our glasses and the staff immediately replaced our glass with a new one, no questions asked. great service, ambience and cocktails, will be back! - a broke college kid

    Lovely place with great food and drinks! Pet friendly so you're welcome to bring your pups along. There's a museum right beside so it's a good place for lunch and then a visit to the museum. One of our favorite food place in the east.

    Non airconditioned dining so if you're the type to need cool air, don't try. We were afraid of mosquitoes but fortunately there didn't seem to be any. The food was so so. Angus beef risotto- the beef was a little overdone (they didn't ask me how I wanted it done). Chicken wings were well seasoned on the outside but the inside was a little bland. A tad oily. The fries were good though. The malbec was surprisingly better than expected. Rather pricey, even without the bottle of wine, price came up to about 50 to 60 bucks each. On the whole, don't think I'll go back again.

    I have order Angus beef with risotto but the quantity is less and the price is steep and my friend order fish and chips with salad which is so so nothing spectacular but quite expensive. However the ambient and service is good. If you go with friends during evening and order finger food like satay, it will be nice to have a chit chat hour

    Slightly pricier but the quality of food is definitely there. Staff are friendly, pets are welcomed. Lovely place.

    One of my favorite place to chill. Decent good food with great service! By the way, it’s a pet friendly restaurant with live band on certain days.

  • 5/5 randall 5 months ago on Google
    Frequent this cafe cause it's next door and how their chicken wings are just amaze-balls. Jumbo wings with a solid prawn paste flavor and fried ti perfection. The location is pretty ulu and far flung but it's quite nice to eat there! Out door seating and pet friendly as well. Really like their mee goreng

  • 4/5 Haley A. 5 months ago on Google
    Place is near a park. Food is reasonably good depending on what your order. Their Seafood Fried Hokkien Mee n Angus Beef Rissoto is nice. Pizza is so so not much taste. Bacon rambutan is acceptable.

    Great place for dine in and food was good. Will be back again next round. Thanks for the great service experience.

  • 5/5 Jazz B. 3 months ago on Google New
    We’re regular diners here and enjoy the outdoor dining to keep safer in this pandemic. We go during low peak hours as it can get crowded. Great good and the local cuisine is fantastic! My only request is that they offer a children’s menu.

  • 3/5 Priscilla T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Came here for a family dinner and together with my dog. Was not arranged a suitable area for my dog. Told to put a padding on the chair, I said I will put pee pad on the floor for my dog. I don't see any other dog owners do that except for me though. We requested to change to a rounded table instead of the rectangular kind that is not suitable for my dog when being leashed to the chair as it will be close contact to other customers. We ordered quite a number of items. Came here cos it was pet friendly. But I don't find the seating pet friendly at all. The grounds have many small stones which is dangerous for dog if they eat it. This is not a kind of pet friendly place you will consider to come. Food wise is average only. If you have pet and want to bring it here please consider. 🙏

    My first visit at Bark Cafe was excellent and surely will visit more times! It is not so easily accessible and u will need a car or cab to get here conveniently. The food quality is super high and we loved every dish ordered. Well done chefs! However, the food variety HAS to be improved. So many of the dishes contain pork. Arent there more types of food to be offered? Please review and improve your menu. You dont need to put pork in everything! About the place.. The ambience is fantastic! Love the open air seating and the pet friendly atmosphere. Service staff are very warm and friendly as well. Wonderful human beings! One girl made an error into an intrusion to my privacy but I took that as innocent ignorance and Im sure she will learn from it. Overall, a fantadtic place to have a meal and chill out.

    Came here for Sunday lunch, and had plenty of seats available. Food was served fairly quickly, and was decently portioned and priced. Nice atmosphere, they allow pets here. Expect to have dogs barking at each other. Tables are all completely shaded, with good ventilation. Natural wind is available, and may get slightly soaked if it's raining. Would recommend to groups of all sizes, and would come back again. *On a side note, a dish came with a strand of hair and they changed the dish for us. Not really a big deal since a single hair won't do anything, but nice of them to take it back automatically to change.

    Warm and friendly restaurant/bar/cafe next to changi chapel! Came here for a group gathering of 11 pax and the staff were very accommodating to help us rearrange the tables. Food standard was great and the mains portion were super generous and value for money. Noodles were around 18.90, and western mains 20+ but all were flavourful and full of ingredients. Chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Crayfish hor fun came with a gigantic piece of crayfish. Definitely recommended.

  • 4/5 Cheng 11 months ago on Google
    Crayfish hor fun and chicken wings are great. Mee goreng can be more spicy . Ordered wine by the glass. Had Malbec in my previous visit and it was fine. This time, I had a glass of Chardonnay and it gave me such a bad headache. Pls change your white wine.

  • 4/5 Natalie l. 11 months ago on Google
    Went there for lunch yesterday afternoon. Not too many tables were occupied so we were seated immediately. The place was clean. Service was good and service staff was attentive. They answered my queries about the mee goreng and confirmed that they could spice up the mee goreng to my liking. So with that, we had the mee goreng, Angus beef and crabmeat aglio olio plus drinks: coke and sour plum. The food came out really fast. The plating was good and they tasted good as well. The mee goreng was a little on the sweet side for me but as promised, they did add in slices of chilli padi to spice it up. The Angus beef came out perfect with a pink center and we totally enjoyed it!! Overall it was a good lunch except that it was very very warm as it's outside seating and therefore, no air con.

    we are happy that it is open again after closing during covid and renovation. the mojitos are great but the food taste need improvements. Price wise is a bit on the high side, but overall we love it.

  • 4/5 Dre E. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our time here. Food we had was good. Pricing is $$. Will be back. Live band is Wed, Thursday and Friday. Do check with them if you want to go for the live band. Saw that it's doggie friendly environment.

  • 5/5 Sau Siak T. 1 year ago on Google
    A superb dinner experience. Service was prompt and attentive, albeit a bit overly eager to clear the plates. Satay is fantastic! Fries has just the right thickness and crispness. Oysters were smooth and Century Egg is flavourful. Being pet-friendly only makes it an even better.

  • 5/5 Julie S. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been here several times pre covid but it shut down for a period of time. We spotted it is in business again by chance when we drove past one day. Offers both sheltered and non-sheltered dining areas. Staff are mostly friendly and helpful. Advisable to make reservation as they can be fully booked for dinners and especially weekends. Quite a good variety of food for adults and children. Quality food served in generous portion. We ordered more food than these two (pics) but as we got busy chatting and eating, we forgot to capture photos of the other dishes ;D
