Located along Bencoolen Street, flanked with many small eateries, lies the Accor chain – IBIS Bencoolen hotel in its not extravagant facade. However, the in-hotel cafe – Le Bar Taste is one nice place to find some good local dishes at petty affordable prices. I have tried most of the main dishes and personally loved the local Hor-Fun with the distinctive wok-fried flavor.
The cafe comes with a bar area which serves nice cocktail mixes, liqueurs and wine to compliment the dishes. The average prices for the most of main courses are reasonable. Most importantly, this is one place where you can be at ease in casual attire under nice air-conditioning and good break after venturing the Bugis / Rochor streets especially under a typical hot sunny day in Singapore.
