Eating out can be hard if you have picky eaters in the family. Whether you’re after sweet treats or hearty staples, Dutch Baby Cafe’s offerings will satiate the taste buds of young and old. Served in hot cast iron pans straight from the oven, the cafe’s signature pillowy soft pancakes with crispy sides are a sight to behold. Those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the cafe’s signature Caramel Apple, Banana Chocolate or Mixed Berry pancakes, while savoury fans will enjoy the Maple Grapefruit or Caesar Bacon pancakes, generously peppered with succulent slices of meat. Add freshly brewed coffee and fresh fruit tarts into the mix for a cosy spot of afternoon tea. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial after a big day out, try the Baked Cheese Curry Rice, which comes in three variants—Keema (minced meat), Eggplant and Lemon Chicken—or the fusion udon.

Super Loco
Super Loco’s name couldn’t be more apt, for it sends palates crazy—in the best way possible, of course. Its menu of authentic Mexican dishes boasts fresh and robust favourites like spicy, cheesy meat-filled burritos and build-your-own tacos, which arrive at the table in Instagram-worthy fashion; not to mention with a sunny backdrop of Robertson Quay. Children, too, get their own selection of delectable bites, plus “Lil’ Amigo” parties with a host of fun activities on selected holidays.

Jamie’s Italian
Trust Jamie Oliver—the celebrity chef and restaurateur who started Jamie’s Food Revolution, a global movement to feed ourselves for a better future—to take a kids menu seriously. Children, after all, are at the heart of this father of five’s global petition for improved food education in schools and households. At Jamie’s Italian, dishes for the little ones are designed to coax them into eating healthier with vibrant hues and flavours. Think Fish in a Bag, baked with blanched green beans, tomatoes and potatoes; and Secret Seven Tomato Pasta, comprising homemade pasta smothered in Jamie’s seven-veg tomato sauce, topped with a cheddar cheese crust and herby breadcrumbs. All kid’s dishes come with Shake-Me salads, turning eating greens into a fun-filled experience.

DC Comics Super Heroes Cafe
A tribute to the Justice League of heroes, this themed restaurant (the first and only DC Comics Super Heroes Cafe in the region) is divided into dining, café and retail sections. After browsing the range of limited-edition apparel, accessories and souvenirs, chill out at the Superman-inspired café and quench your thirst with the Wonder Woman tea, or perk up with The Flash espresso. Feeling peckish? The lightweight Green Lantern salad will do your body wonders. For heartier options, there’s the scrumptious Batman’s Dark Knight meal (a wagyu beef burger set served with a charcoal bun, nacho cheese, fresh tomatoes, tapenade spread and a mesclun salad on the side) or Superman’s Free Range Chicken Burger, served with a soft buttermilk brioche bun, and peanut butter spread generously atop the juicy patty for an interesting contrast of flavours.

Three Buns
Housed within Potato Head Folk at Keong Saik Road is Three Buns, a gourmet burger joint that serves up deliciously messy feasts for the entire family. Those looking to indulge can tuck into the Truff Ryder, which comes with a grade A5 Kagoshima wagyu patty, seared foie gras, black truffle cheese and lots of sauce sandwiched between toasted demi brioche buns; while the D.O. Double G is a next-level hot dog with a prime beef frankfurter, miso mustard, ketchup and onions two ways. Another surprising winner of a burger is James Brown, aka the “Codfather” of soul, featuring a black cod fillet patty, mushy peas and housemade tartar sauce in a rice bun. Besides the fact that every element is made from scratch here, Potato Head Folk makes a donation to Soul Food Enterprise, an organisation that educates children with special needs through creative cooking, for every burger sold.
