Established local speciality grocer- Little Farms prides itself in its curation of high-quality, all-natural and ethically sourced produce. Besides shopping for the freshest ingredients at the grocer, hop over to the adjacent Bar + Grill- a gorgeous al fresco dining area that is perfect for hearty, healthy and delicious grill-focused meals, refreshing drinks, and hanging out with pets.

Eat and Drink Well at Little Farms Bar + Grill

The cosy urban farm-style bar and grill boasts a charming space with an open kitchen concept where you can watch the passionate chefs in action. Enjoy a delightful grill-focused menu that includes all-natural, gluten-free, and dairy-free ingredients (available for purchase at the grocery).

Look out for the unique in-store edible wall which provides the freshest greens for their dishes.

Brunch and Lunch Menu

A selection of brunch dishes is available until 2pm, while grilled specialties and other mains are available from 12pm onwards. Our starter was this hearty brunch dish- Shakshuka $20, made with coddled eggs in a simmering mixture of heirloom tomatoes and avocado topped with feta cheese. The velvety texture reminded us of perfectly executed poached eggs with extra healthy toppings. We also enjoyed the toasted sourdough slices.

We got to watch Chef Carl Jaeger in action, grilling the meat patties and assembling the Smash Burger $24, served with a generous portion of King Onion Rings. The O’Connor beef burger was served well done, the outside of the beef patty was golden brown with a slight charring. We liked the battered onion rings which were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.

Miso Mushroom Fusolini $22 was a delightful pasta dish consisting of Pearl Oysters, Portobellos, Miso Butter, Pecorino. The seasoning on each element was spot-on, we could taste each component distinctly, especially the fresh portobello mushrooms.

This succulent Free-range Slow-fired Pork Rack ($28) is perfect for the festive season! This dish was deliciously meaty with a smoky roast pork flavour, accentuated by the savoury-sweet Korean spice glaze.

Dinner Menu

From the dinner menu, we had Battered Plant-Based Calamari $14 which blew our expectations about plant-based food. The “calamari” was nicely seasoned and packed the right level of chewiness. We then found out they were made from konjac jelly, kudos to the chefs for their creativity!

Next, we had Grilled Eggplant Parmigiana $22. This is a splendid combination of eggplant, tomato, mozzarella cheese and gluten-free crumbs! Order this if you would like a change up from your usual salad.

Beverages

Last but not least, we had Beets by Dre $15, a wholesome smoothie concocted in collaboration with plant-based chef and content creator, Sandra Lim. Another refreshing thirst-quencher is Orange & Lavender Earl Grey Ice Tea $9, which was a floral, soothing glass of iced tea with citrusy notes.

There is also an outstanding line-up of tipples, draught beer, gin & tonics, and frozen margaritas ($16 per glass/ $50 per jug) such as the Lime and Passionfruit margarita, which was conceptualised by the Director of Food & Beverage, William Leonard.

Kids Menu

Little ones can enjoy smaller portions of brunch (until 2pm). Pick from Juniors Avo Toast $14, Wholesome Hotcake $12, and Bambinos Brekkie $16. For lunch and dinner, choose from delightful dishes such as Kids Bolognese Penne $14 and Kids Garlic Prawn Mac & Cheese $18.
