The cafe is Geographer Cafe. The cafe is set in a shade of warm and cheery mustard colours and decorated with rustic appeal; it is cool and romantic even on a hot afternoon. The cafe is housed in a conspicuous corner pre-war building, which has been really well-restored and magically enchanted into a stunning living architecture. This eatery with its warm ambience reflects the gracious old charm of the seasoned traveler.



The ground floor of the Geographer cafe has the musical instrument such as keyboard, guitar and microphone. So, there have a solo performance every weekend and the cafe  can be very pack and crowded . I took the chance to snap around the cafe and I'm really impressed with the antiques displays around and the cozy ambience.


The restaurant is Eleven Bistro Restaurant in Jonker Street. At Eleven Bistro,there serve not only Portuguese cooking but there also furnish your dining experience with an artistic environment with a fusion of Portuguese notion and long forgotten impression. It’s comfortable, with some oldies decoration and dim lighting.
