Rokeby Bistro Revamps with New Brunch & Dinner Menu
Don’t be shocked when you return to the popular Rokeby Bistro down at the quaint neighbourhood of Jalan Riang – the Australian-inspired diner has a completely renovated interior, complete with a new finger-licking good menu. Staying true to its ethos of serving soulful comfort food, the revamped bistro sees new brunch options like the Beek Cheek Polenta Benedict, Shakshuka, and Corned Beef Hash with Sunny Side Up. When dinner comes around, give the Ox Cheek Pasta a try, or other newcomers such as Mentaiko Soft Shell Crab Burger, Squid Ink Aglio Olio Pasta, and my favourite, the melt-in-your-mouth creamy Lobster Risotto.
