    Cozy, green and beautiful. Sat outdoors. Loved the coffee (tried the capp and the coconut cold brew). The food was just as delicious as it was pretty and colourful - really enjoyed the 'crab on toast' and the waffles. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends too!

    We were seated at the outdoor patio, so it was a nice alfresco dining experience as the weather wasn't too hot and humid. Staff were friendly. Presentation of food was so pretty that it looked like I'm eating a garden. Plus points there. However, I would love for more flavors to match the beautiful meal. It was a beautiful meal, but I couldn't remember anything I ate, especially with my tongue and nose.

    First things first! The food was SO GOOD 😍😋, we were very happy with our orders as we enjoyed and cleaned up everything. First impressions was promising, we were attended to very well, food service was fast - so if you are hungry and need something now, you will not be disappointed. It’s located in old buildings and the interior decor gives you a very rustic and cozy feel. It’s very comfortable and welcoming. All in all I enjoyed myself immensely with my family, we had a really fulfilling brunch topped with great coffee. Side note: if you gps the postal code to get there you may end up in the other side of Jalan Kubor. Don’t worry about it as you will probably get more parking here. Drop off your car and cross the road.. it’s the first shop in the right.

    So glad for the restaurant , it's nice vibe and calming. Nice day on Sunday brunch here . The hot coffee brew picked me up. White brew hit the spot too. We had some toast . Food was good, high quality, and reasonably priced. Not mind blowing, though. No 5 star here. The reservation is sometimes important for peak hours, I guess. Definitely give this place a shot. Let's know more recommendations check my instagram @reniperwira

    Very nice little cafe with good food. Initially I was a little annoyed with service because despite making reservations beforehand, they were not able to secure an indoor seating for my group. The waitress said she would transfer us as soon as a table indoor is available. I wasnt expecting much from that, but was pleasantly surprised that after 15 minutes, we were transferred indoors. We had a great time. The place was nicely decorated and suitable for casual conversations. Service was attentive and friendly. Food portions were generous. Price was fair. I did not drive on that day, but I reckon parking would be a challenge around the area.

    Personally likes the vibes and environment here. But if you prefer a quiet place to discuss or chit chat, it might be not suitable. The food is superb. I am willing to come back for their grilled octopus. I seldom eat octopus, but yea, their grilled octopus surprisingly delicious. 👍🏻🤓

    Afternoon tea at symmetry. Quite a cozy cafe with nice deco and atmosphere. I like there are a lot of plants indoors The waffles dessert and flat white is good. We will come back again to try the brunch food.

    Very popular cafe. Food here is on the pricier side but the portions and taste was good. Coffee was strong and fragrant too. Service was quick and efficient.

    The restaurant has unique decoration like oldies. The place is quite small with indoor and outdoor seating. Symmetry located in a main street of Singapore. They serving brunch menu. I order fried duck but it's quite smelly. The burger is good, but not special. The drink is good. All the waiters is very kind and helpful during my visit.

    Great Location nestled in a funky neighbourhood, with food and drinks exciting the palate with delicious tasted, wrapped with attentive, timely and friendly staff. It's definitely a place I will be returning to again. Thanks to Daniel and Jia Wen for being outstanding in service.

    This place was so crowded on a weekend late morning. And I can tell why. The ambience in this place was awesome. It reminds me of all my breakfasts/brunches in Melbourne. You can choose to sit inside, on the bar or outside as well. This place serves alcoholic drinks as well. We only came here for a drink. The coffee and ice chocolate was nice. The menu and what we saw others ordering also looks really good. Can’t wait to come back and try their food.

    The food was very tasty but staff was not very nice. First sentence that we hear from them “you should free this table before 11:40”, I don’t remember “welcome, nice to see you…”. P.s i booked a table 4 days in advance.

    Happened to park just right outside the shop and decided to have lunch here. I remembered I used to frequent this place many years ago. However, it's quite difficult to get the roadside parking. The coffee here is still as enjoyable. the price for the main course is kinda steep. We ordered 2 drinks and 1 chicken burger and 1 salmon. The total bill is about 90ish. Might not come back so soon. Service and ambience are good.

    Stopped in and had a Thai Milk Tea and a Berry Mojito. The drinks are fantastic, the service is top-notch, and I would absolutely come back again and again. Thank you Symmetry for being such a great place!

    The food and service are great. Ordered both their speciality, Symmetry Egg Benedict and Symmetry Waffles. The Ice Cream in the Waffles was truly special. Both were surprisingly good and unique. The weather was cool so we sat outdoors. The traffic on the main road didn't affect us. Will come back.

    Nice cafe suitable for brunch. Have some vegan and vegetarian options. I tried Symmetry Super Bowl, a very colorful and healthy dish with tricolor quinoa and no lots of greens. The taste is very good but the portion is too small for me. Considering the price ($25), it would be great to add some baked tofu or sourdough to make it like the real "main" dish.

    The food here is really delicious 😋 & definitely one of the better coffees in Singapore. Love the cosy environment inside which turns into a Bar at night. Prices are steep though. Confiti pork rolls at $26++ & Symmetry breakfast at $27++

    Must visit cafe near Arab street area! They serve food, coffee and drinks! I’ve been eyeing this place for a while, finally managed to go here to get some coffee and cake. This is near North Bridge road, a very outdoorsy cool cafe. I can’t believe I passed by this multiple times but never noticed this is actually a cafe. The biggest plus is that there is ample seating both inside, outside and in the patio. I love the outdoor seating, it’s great when the weather is good. The service was fast! It wasn’t too expensive, I would say coffee is an average of $10/drink. I will come back to this place again!

    Have visited Symmetry quite a few times. Really like the menu here with the Shakshouka being my favourite. Vegetarian options available too. Good, fast, efficient service. Reservation is recommended as the place can get quite crowded, esp. on weekends. A really good place to have brunch/lunch and a boozy one too.

  • 5/5 Gabrielle G. 5 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    quaint and pretty café. we ordered their big breakfast and waffles. personally felt that their big breakfast tasted average, but their waffles on the other hand were so good!! the sourness of the fresh berry compote helped to balance out the sweetness from the maple syrup, and the blueberry icecream was perfect (wasn’t too sweet). they served a pretty mean coffee too, really aromatic blend. chill vibes all around, can’t wait to be back!

  • 3/5 Yun H. 2 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    Convenient because of reservation. But even with reservation we were still served with outside table. The food is good but don’t think it is worth the price overall. We ordered symmetry Benedict egg, symmetry breakfast and a mocha, cost more than $80, and the portion is just okay

  • 5/5 marissa l. 2 months ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    My partner brought me for a treat for my birthday and was so pleasantly surprised. The food we ordered was so flavourful and good. We got the shashouka and eggs Benedict for food. The eggs Benedict was filled with mushrooms and really yummy. Was slightly surprised by the pink sauce. We got the cold brew coconut coffee and milkshake. I loved the milkshake and finished it all. It was the macadamia milkshake. It was super amazing. ♥️ Overall the theme is whimsical and adorable all the staff were very helpful and quick to assist. Loved it. Thank you will definitely come back.

    came here twice, the food overall are pretty good, especially their Benedict. (Still a little greasy in the end) however, there was an aged waiter, don’t know if it’s their manager ( if it is, their training is awful 😅), keep pushing us. Bill and take away our cutlery…

  • 4/5 Isa C. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Nice cozy place for brunch! Food was satisfactory, the quality of fresh produce was good. The service for ordering and preparation of food was quick but took a while for the drinks to come as there was only 1 person preparing the drinks. Only thing was we were seated at the corner near a side door and people kept trying to open the locked door at the side. Would come back again!

  • 5/5 Meiyin C. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    It was a quiet rainy first Friday night of the new year when we came here for dinner. Very thankful the Christmas menu was still on, so we had the beef tartare, Wellington, lamb shank, and a few other things I forgot to take photos of. Yes, Symmetry is such an institution for brunch but honestly dinner here is so underrated. The different flavours and textures on the plate are well thought through and balanced. The welly's pastry is not that traditional, but the corn dog-like texture was refreshing and works. Looking forward to the next time I'll be back!

    I have saved this in my to-go list for a while and am definitely not disappointed at all! The portion of the food is just nice and beautifully plated, and the environment is absolutely chilling and fabulous 💕 We ordered the waffles and eggs benedict, with their ice coconut cold brew and latte, everything was pleasing to the eyes and palate; and even after we stayed longer for a talk, the staff were nice to help refill our waters. Loved our experience here and would definitely visit again!!

  • 4/5 Ali A. 4 months ago on Google
    The Dirty Eggs were breathtaking. I gave it 4 stars because we were seats outside, which was hot. I would have given it 5 stars if I were inside as the place is beautiful.

  • 4/5 A.Y 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was good but the portion was really very small for the price. Coconut cold brew was fantastic, I’d highly recommend that. Sunday steak was delicious. I’d ask if they can improve the alfresco dining space as it was abit dingy

  • 5/5 M Y. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wonderful place for a Sunday brunch. Very friendly staffs. Vegetarian and Vegan friendly. Their cocktails menu are also very creative. Food was tasty and reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Lim Jie M. 4 months ago on Google
    Food is good (like the big breakfast & Norwegian salmon). Strawberries lemonade tasted quite fake, not to my liking. Super good ambience too! But slightly pricey, $80++/2 pax. Service was super good, the male staff helped us to take so many pics 😭🫶🏻

  • 5/5 Kris Jeane A. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Had a spontaneous cafe visit yesterday, here at Symmetry. The ambiance is really nice and cozy too. We arrived lil bit after 4pm so we didn't have enough choice of food to choose from, so we only get their snacks, since the brunch are until 4pm only, while mains will only start 6pm. We had a great stay here, especially Kuya Joms that was very very helpful to us! Thanks kuys!!!! Will def come back to try their other food!!! 💞

  • 5/5 Anya C. 7 months ago on Google
    Great space and delicious coffee. Highly recommend the bloody marys, packs a punch and excellent well balanced flavour. Food was hearty and good portion sizes. The kimchi okonomiyaki was a little confusing,but tasty nonetheless.

  • 5/5 Alwyn L. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food! Slightly pricey, but the portion is great for brunch. Parking around that area needs some luck. Be sure to make a reservation as weekend will be full for the indoor area.

  • 5/5 Helen C. 6 months ago on Google
    First visit for Sunday Brunch. Food is delicious. Fast and friendly Service. Food price is reasonable. Difficult to find car park. Overall is good. Will come back for more.

  • 5/5 yimien l. 8 months ago on Google
    First time eating at this established cafe for a birthday celebration. The entrance alone fills me with anticipation! It reminds me of the cafe in Seoul. As i looked at the menu, i did not find the highly raved egg benedict which was only served in the morning. Another trip needed for sure. We had to choose items by faith since there was no pictures. Aged duck breast [potato boulangere, wilted kale, cherry coulis, beets emulsion, bigarde sauce] Prawn and pork Nduja stuffed squid [fregola sarda, wilted kale, hazelnut, saffron aioli] Greek spinach pie [baby spinach, feta cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeno, feuille de brick pastry] Apple blueberry cobbler [almond crumble, fresh blueberries, apple gel, green apple parfait, honey ice cream] The items we ordered were all full marks though. Not only were the ingredients used unusual, plating was done with care, seasoning perfect. We cleared everything. Service was also really attentive! Joms serves us warmly. The cafe was not so crowded on this rainy day, giving it a London pub vibe. Suddenly even the walk there in the rain was part of the experience. The menu is quite typical for cafe but, a big but, with a spin to it. It is obvious care was taken when the dishes were created. Looking forward to trying the breakfast menu!

    Went there for 2pm late lunch, ordered egg Benedict, crab egg Florentine, and waffle. Nice food and considerate staffs. Worth to go again.

  • 5/5 WH T. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place to dine with friends. Food here is really very good and there is nice decor and ambiance. They have all day breakfast, some mains and desserts. If you're looking for a casual place to hang out, this is the place.

  • 5/5 Ernest K. 11 months ago on Google
    Beef ragout pasta was excellent. Unfortunately I didn’t favor the sea urchin pasta my partner had. Either the urchin was a bit funky or the scallops weren’t very fresh. Otherwise this place is great for their food.

  • 5/5 Koekoe 9 months ago on Google
    Heard about Symmetry long time ago but never got around to checking it out; till now. Loved it. Food was exceptionally good & service was tip top. Will definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Shayne L. 6 months ago on Google
    Best brunch and dinner restaurant in Singapore. Lovely restaurant in a conservation shophouse with lots of greenery and great vibes. Always here for their brunch menu but OMG their dinner menu and cocktails were even better. Lots of items on their dinner menu to share. Thank you Symmetry for giving us a fantastic evening.

  • 4/5 Gordon W. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great little cafe, wine bar. I went to enjoy brunch. The aroma of the coffee's where welcomed on entry. The atmosphere was very inviting. I ordered a Symmetry breakfast, which was a plate full of flavours. No regrets.

  • 5/5 stella c. 9 months ago on Google
    Staff is super friendly n helpful. They suggest me very nice food n drinks that I like. I tried their grapefruit sake that is so unique. N their brunch n dinner is different menu that is so fantastic to taste different foods!!! Sometimes they will have some special menu too. I will definitely further go on more! Btw love their desserts so much❤️🫶

    Made a last min visit to this place for brunch. The staff was accommodating to squeeze us in for a 1230 to 145 slot indoors at a high table. Which was all the time we need for a yummy brunch. Food does not fail. Jus look at the photos. Mus try the gratin egg. Enjoyed our short brunch and will definitely return again. This time with a proper reservation.

  • 5/5 Raphael W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Nice coffee. Good deco and atmosphere of Christmas. What else do you need for a late brunch on a Christmas eve? I would recommend this restaurant :)

  • 5/5 cylene 1 year ago on Google
    came here for dinner on a saturday night with a friend & we were pleasantly surprised that the place was not fully booked! it is really such a gem. both of us came here for dinner since we’ve already tried the brunch menu (which is also worth trying). even though the dishes were a bit on the pricier side, what is money if you don’t spend it, right? 🤠🤠🤠 we ordered the chilli crab quesadillas for starters, the steak (done medium rare), and the truffle chicken burger which were all very yummy. the steak was SO GOOD & i am not exactly a fan of steak 👍🏻 if u are down bad for truffle then the truffle chicken burger will SLAP!! 🤩 there is truffle in the fries, the burger, and the little sauce on the side. for drinks, we got one of each kombucha (be sure to check with the staff as their flavours change). the rose & lychee kombucha was very yummy so i enjoyed it Very Slowly. my friend had the wolfberry & some other berries? kombucha & it was very good & refreshing. service was so good!! one of the few places where the 10% service charge is 100% WORTH IT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 staff gave us recommendations for the menu & did mid-meal check-ins with the food & drinks. very attentive & we were both really impressed!! 🥰 this is my new favourite place 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

    Food here was not bad! but on a pricier side. The symmetry eggs benedict was packed with flavor so i would recommend this! However, the lobster nachos dip was not as flavorful as expected and the symmetry waffles was just like any other average waffle with ice cream. The atmosphere was cozy with lots of beautiful plants & decorations around! Very aesthetic!
