Cafe Monochrome (Chinatown)

4.6★ (1,988 reviews) · Along Smith Street Side, 25 Trengganu St, #01-12, Singapore 058476

A trendy Chinatown café built around a bold 2D black-and-white sketchbook aesthetic — every corner is designed for photos, but the pesto pasta and matcha drinks hold their own too.

What diners love: The immersive comic-book interior is genuinely striking, and the matcha and pasta dishes get solid praise.

Worth knowing: Service can feel unwelcoming and even rude, food quality is inconsistent, and prices run a bit high for what you get.
