Located in one of the rare black and white bungalows still standing in the Joo Chiat vicinity, Picotin Express East Coast is a favourite haunt for a laid-back night out with friends or family.

Think full bar, plenty of hearty offerings, snooker table, mini football, and even the classic French game of pétanque for hands-on fun.

Start with some indulgent light bites. The cheesy supreme nachos with minced beef and avocado salsa, and spiced lamb kofta with salad and a refreshing yoghurt tahini are winners. Excellent thin-crust signature pizzas are another highlight, like the the modern bronco, laden with tandoori spiced chicken, spicy beef pepperoni, smoky bacon and cheese over a delicious tomato base. Another great option is their succulent whole roasted spring chicken served with truffle mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, mushrooms and bacon with a flavourful gravy.

For a comforting, homey dessert, end with warm apple crumble, served with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you’re looking for the same great menu, but with lush green and breezy surroundings, head on to their second branch over at Bukit Timah, right by Champions Golf Course.

Good to note: Keep Picotin Express in mind for your next private event—With a fully-equipped sound system, projector, and space for up to 200 people, the location is great for corporate events, parties and weddings!
