Cafe Palat Breakwater

Set in Breakwater, Cafe Palat blends Vietnamese comfort with easygoing cafe charm. It draws from street-side classics and relaxed cafe culture, creating a place made for unhurried catching up.

The menu opens with crisp, soothing bites that set the tone. Fried pork spring rolls shatter to reveal aromatic pork and vegetables paired with sweet chilli sauce, while homemade steamed pork dumplings slide through ginger soy, warming and gently spiced.

From there, the rhythm moves between freshness and indulgence. Grilled kaffir lime chicken comes with jasmine rice, a sunny-side-up egg and mixed salad dressed in chilli and lime. Bowls of phở hanoi bring bone-marrow richness and garden-bright herbs, while comfort takes other forms in an angus beef burger or a slow-pulled brisket number.

Welcoming to locals and wanderers alike, Cafe Palat is a spot for crunch, slurp and zing in equal measure. Book a table, bring an appetite, and let lime and lemongrass lead the way.
