Orchard Central Food
The carpark and the layout of Orchard Central are not features of Orchard Central that will attract us to visit the mall in the heart of Orchard Road. The food and beverage outlets in the mall are sometimes hidden in obscure places. The cafes and restaurants are located on many different levels – though mainly in the basement and Levels 1, 7, 8, 11 and 12. We like to visit the mall because of the interesting mix of F&B outlets and there are quite a few beautiful dining spots. We can always find something to drink or eat at Orchard Central at almost anytime of the day and night.
Here is The Ordinary Patrons’ (TOP) list of Orchard Central food places that should appeal to different tastes and different budgets. We have provided links to our posts (where available) which will contain more information about each restaurant and cafe.
