The New York concept of Chef Designed salad, wrap platters and custom Build-Your-Own-salad bars is now available in Singapore. Just Salad began with a simple question: Why is there such a shortage of healthy fast food?

Nick Kenner and Rob Crespi were tired of the options available to them for lunch in midtown Manhattan. So, instead of continuing to settle, they set off to develop a restaurant concept that would serve a healthy, fast and creative alternative. To make sure that Just Salad would serve only the best salads in the world, Nick and Rob sought the expertise of Chef Laura Pensiero.

Already world-renowned for her inventive and nutritious cooking, Chef Laura joined Just Salad after founding Chef4Life, a provider of healthy and delicious solutions for life-long improvements in diet while still stressing the importance of enjoying food. She guaranteed Nick and Rob that Just Salad would stay true to its mission: offering a meal that would be both healthy and delicious.

Chef Laura designed the Just Salad menu from front to back, creating twenty-two unique dressings and thirteen enticing combinations of toppings now known as Just Salad's Chef Designed Salads.

Every detail of Just Salad was thought out carefully. You will enjoy everything from the food to the music to the environmentally friendly bowls. Shipments of fresh ingredients are delivered every morning, so you know that you are getting the freshest possible meal.

Following the runaway success of the less than one year old Brasserie Gavroche, Chef Patron Frederic Colin unveils his second food & beverage venue. A new sibling to the Gavroche name, Café Gavroche is located on 69 Tras Street, just across the brasserie.

Taking root in a conservation shophouse, the new venue boasts 3 sections within. Upon entry, the first section showcases the main Bar area, replete with a 4.2m wooden bar originating from Normandy, pre World War II, circa 1920. Next is the indoor "Terrace" section, a natural light filled space with cobblestone flooring, fringed with an indoor tree. Fitted with Drucker wicker chairs and tables, a sense of an outdoor setting within is created, reminiscent of a typical Parisian café. The final space features an intimate Dining area decked out with a long rustic wooden table and chairs, Opaline hanging lamps, a 300kg cast iron antique stove and wall-hung copper pots of varying sizes.

Paying homage to his French roots, Chef Patron Frederic has sourced a collection of artisanal Pastis from the South of France. The largest selection in Singapore (35 different labels). Sip on the traditional Casanis Pastis de Marseille or Le Pastis de la maison du Pastis, Relish Henri Bardouin Pastis created from 65 plants and herbs or savour the Jean Boyer Opale, made with green anise and botanicals in an artisanal distillery.

A large selection of French wines completes the beverage menu, with focus on culture raisonnéé, producers of high caliber who practice sustainable agriculture and vin de soif, quality wines that are accessible and of good value.

The food menu showcases lighter French fare, perfect for sharing. An extensive selection of tartines (open face sandwiches with 14 choices of toppings on freshly baked bread), charcuterie, cheese platters and the all time favourite, Croque Monsieur.

You can look forward to breakfasts enjoyed as you would do in Paris, with Weekend Breakfasts À La Française from 10.30am on Saturdays and Sundays. Expect rustic and hearty portions freshly-baked croissants, pastries and country breads along with French jams and egg dishes done to perfection as you enjoy the weekend in an authentic setting.

Peperoni Pizzeria's second branch recently opened at Binjai Park. Besides the bigger bar which lines part of the exterior, the 100-seater affords more space between each table, giving diners more privacy without doing away with the cosy conviviality that makes Peperoni so endearing. Antique fixtures adorn these walls, adding a touch of the past to the retro-styled outlet.
 
In conjunction with the opening of the second branch, Peperoni started serving breakfast on weekends. Heart and familiar breakfast platters and freshly squeezed mixed juices are the way to go to start the weekend.

Takeaway pizzas are extremely popular. All pizzas come fresh and piping hot straight from the open pizza kitchen that sits in Peperoni. The large wood-fired oven here gives all their pizzas that authentic smoky flavour.

Aside from the variety of pastas and pizzas available, there also many scrumptious snacks to choose from. Provision have been made for the little ones, with a kid's menu that includes small pasta/pizza, a drink and a gelato/sorbet for dessert. They also offer many Belgium beers of varying alcoholic intensities. The slection ranges from a light, summery peach-flavoured fizz to more robust, unrestrained brews. Every item on the menu is nett, which means that guests need not worry about extras like GST or service charge when the bill arrives.

The combination of good food and booze in a vivacious ambience delivers a delightful dining experience every time!
