The black and white sketches are the main highlight here; each corner is an Instagrammable spot, thanks to the unique monochrome interiors.

The designs are meant to look like flat 2D illustrations—even the chairs are painted to reflect that vision!

Besides all-day brunch items, you can also get hearty pasta dishes including Truffle Cream Pasta ($21++)Â and Soft Shell Crab Pasta ($22++), a riff on the famous chilli crab.

Those with a sweet tooth will also be pleased with the desserts on offer, including the Waffle Ice Cream, which comes in three flavours: Classic, Oreo, and Speculoos. It’s priced from $11++ for a Classic Waffle with a single scoop of ice cream.
On top of the cakes on display, you can also consider getting the Monochrome’s High Tea Set ($48++) for a fancier option.
