"Adjacent to the Botanic Garden, this verdantly set glasshouse combines an urban farm and dining concept. The founder-chef advocates an eco-friendly philosophy and therefore designed a mostly plant-based menu. Produce may be sourced from local artisan farms as well as Malaysia, but the food shows eclectic technique and flavours from around the world. The big hit cauliflower ‘wings’ are inspired by chicken karaage and seasoned with miso." - Michelin Inspector

"Farm-to-fork is a distant dream for much of land-scarce Singapore, but it’s the main attraction at Open Farm Community in Dempsey Hill, where a 3,000-square-foot plot provides herbs like basil and makrut lime for the restaurant. Head chef Oliver Truesdale-Jutras also works with a community of local growers for dishes like his Pulau Ubin-farmed barramundi, which is delivered within six hours of harvest, served steamed in dashi butter with black rice, furikake, cassava, and butterfly pea flower from the property, as well as pea shoots and peas from local farms." - Evelyn Chen

Visited the cafe instead. Quaint and large open air seating areas! High ceiling and lush greenery surround make this a unique place to have a cuppa and some tasty lunch! Food quality was very good and enjoyed the various sandwiches! Car parking is decent and when the weather is good, take a tour of their vegetable and spice gardens. The formal restaurant looks very good too, air-conditioning helps to give a more comfortable environment!

Overall the food was great! I wasn’t able to take photos of all the orders but the food presentation was excellent. We liked the mains and the appetizers equally but what stood out the most for me are the cocktails. We were able to try 4 garden cocktails and all the flavors are unique and absolutely delicious. I never knew that the ingredients they used would go well together. We really enjoyed our time there. The food and service quality given by Joseph and the cocktails made by Chris was exceptional. Planning to go back again during the daytime so we can see their outdoor space.

Can't believe this place is mentioned in Michelin... the food quality is so bad that I won't ever visit this restaurant again. Each dish is so expensive and not worth the portion size for the amount we paid for the meal. We ordered their popular breakfast and pasta as recommended by the server. The crab pasta was the worst I ever had... look at the texture of the pasta... it was slimy, gooey and the pasta tasted "cheap" and "store bought". Though they were generous with the crab meat, but it's a 0/10 for me. The breakfast set was also really not worth the price at all... Staff were friendly but they don't accept walk-ins because it's fully reserved but when we were in the restaurant dining there were so many empty tables. Overall, wouldn't recommend anyone to come to this restaurant, you can find better restaurants if you drive in further to Dempsey. I left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied and went to get another pastry elsewhere, definitely wasn't a great way to start a weekend.

Came here and tried the omakase, was blown away by every dish. Really well balanced flavours, and every element in each dish was well executed with a lot of craft and care for the ingredients that were used. They were really creative too - didn’t know tomatoes could be prepared in such diverse and tasty ways! Each dish got better, just when we thought we’ve had the best dish of the night. Dessert was equally amazing, we enjoyed the deconstructed cheesecake and how every aspect of the dish was so unique yet blended together really well. Will be thinking of this meal for awhile!

Loved the restaurant design but we felt the food was just way too salty for us. The bread & cream cheese spread (I think) was nice but that's about it. The veal pasta ($38+) had a very strong unpleasant taste & the pasta stuck to each other. Salty & we were struggling to finish it. We hoped the chicken was good since it was $68, but it was so salty that we kept drinking water after each bite. That did it for us & we couldn't finish our second piece. Service was slow eventhough it wasn't very crowded yet. Nice ambience but probably not a place for food.

Great atmosphere and tastes good but portion quite small for the price. Had rainbow trout which was similar to raw tuna in some sauce. Cauliflower was nicely cooked with the hummus base. Deconstructed tiramisu is a bit weird, would prefer traditional kind. Overall came out to be $80 so a bit too expensive for the portion size to visit regularly.

Celebrated our first year wedding anniversary after getting married here and we had the omakase menu. As always, Joseph and staff are great! Food was tasty and we had a few items on the house - thank you so much 🥰

It’s in a nice quaint corner near the outskirts of Dempsey. The food’s pretty good and the service is good too. The area in the restaurant is baby friendly but if it rains, it’s gonna be a hassle to get in from the carpark.
