Little Farms has opened their largest concept yet at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, taking over the space previously occupied by the Halia restaurant.The 10-year-old brand is known for its retail markets, but there won’t be one here. Instead, Little Farms has debuted a large all-day dining restaurant and a grab-and-go kiosk for picnicking needs. Additionally, there’s a dedicated event space.“Singapore Botanic Gardens attracts people who are walking, running, exercising, meeting friends or spending time with family. A full retail market didn’t feel like the right fit for this location,” said Little Farms’ CEO Joe Stevens. “Instead, we’ve focused on creating a destination that complements the way people already enjoy the Gardens.”The main restaurant is called The Bloomhouse by Little Farms, and spans nearly 500 sq m and seats 112. It is divided into an indoor dining area, known as Palm Alcove, and an outdoor dining area called the Ginger Terrace, which is pet-friendly.

Anticipating that “many guests seek a lighter style of dining after a visit to the Gardens”, Stevens said, the meal options are fresh and produce-driven – for example, an avocado, quinoa and feta bowl, and pan-seared king salmon.Brunch options include a souffle omelette, Turkish eggs with lamb merguez sausage, and jalapeno corn fritters.Charcoal-grilled dishes also feature heavily on the menu, like a French poulet with sambal soy glaze, whole seabream with coriander marinade and mango pico de gallo, and rack of lamb.
