Cheval Cafe Bar Bistro - Perfect Place for Chilling Out in Woodlands

Why do I say this is the perfect watering hole for chilling out? Because surrounding this cosy restaurant decorated with dim lights is lush greenery of Singapore Turf Club. And every now and then, one can spot horses walking by. Away from the buzz of city life and stark, glaring lights, it is so easy to feel relaxed here.


The food is pretty good to make this place a great choice for gatherings. Seafood Capellini is very good due to the fine strands of flavourful capellini noodles tossed in mild chilli oil, pan-seared scallops featuring the coveted flavour of grilled meat and prawns with springy flesh. This is a must-order. Though I feel the prawns will taste even better if they are lightly grilled a bit.


The crispy chicken wings are fresh, flavourful and of course, crispy! Nice, hearty snack to start with.


Pumpkin soup is pretty wholesome since it just counted on the cream and mashed pumpkin for the taste. But take note that it is not as flavourful as the chicken wings and capellini. Fish and Chips consists of a huge plate of fries, greens and fried fish coated with batter. Great for big eater, but the fish meat tastes kind of plain.


Lava cake with ice-cream is nice dessert to end the meal. The cake is very well-prepared in which the moment the spoon cut into the cake, molten chocolate flows out from its centre.


Service is pretty laid-back and friendly, typical of that of chill-out place. Best of all, the food is priced very reasonably and well within the budget of most people. With all the right elements in place, this restaurant is definitely one of those I will visit regularly if in the mood to relax or in the vicinity.

Update: The menu is changed to include more mains and set lunch/dinner. Seafood Capellini is replaced by Seafood Aglio E Olio Spaghetti. I have not tried this dish yet to know the difference in taste. The texture will definitely be different since spaghetti is thicker. I find another favourite in the Crab Meat Marinara Spaghetti instead. I do not like spaghetti with tomato sauce in general, but this dish changes my mind since the tomato sauce used here is lighter in texture and the tangy taste and yet the spaghetti is incredibly flavourful. The spaghetti is not al dente, but it is firm in texture, so I like it.

My Thoughts: Nice!
