Familiar local favourites take centre stage at YARA (YARA Coffeehouse), which has recently reopened with a refreshed all-day menu at its leafy Evans Road location. Here, it’s all about good food, great coffee and a relaxed setting. It’s the perfect spot to return to for everyday dining and comfort food.

From breakfast to dinner, the café serves Singapore flavours with a few twists. Start the morning with Kaya & Salted Butter Toast, grilled over charcoal for a smoky finish, or tuck into Tiger Prawn Mee Siam and Muar Otah Katsu Sando.

A highlight is the Claypot Braised Hokkien Mee, featuring prawns, squid and crispy pork lard in a rich prawn and pork broth simmered for five hours. There’s also a build-your-own Nasi Lemak with choices such as Ayam Goreng Rempah, Beef Rendang and Asam Pedas Barramundi.

For sharing, try the Babi Pongteh or Curry Chicken, and round off the meal with Teh Peng Crème Brûlée or Coconut Curd with gula melaka sago pearls. A selection of specialty coffees, teas and non-coffee beverages completes the experience.

Indonesia’s luxury hospitality landscape expands in the 2026 MICHELIN Key selection. On 18 September 2026, the MICHELIN Guide unveiled its second global MICHELIN Key selection, recognising 2,832 properties worldwide, with Indonesia now home to 47 hotels across Bali, Java, Lombok, Sumba and Labuan Bajo.

At the highest level sit Nihi Sumba, Amanjiwo and Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, each earning Three MICHELIN Keys, the Guide’s highest hotel distinction, for delivering what MICHELIN calls an extraordinary stay.

Beyond the numbers, the selection reflects Indonesia’s increasingly varied luxury scene, where established icons sit alongside contemporary lifestyle hotels, intimate retreats and new destination properties, from Sumba’s remote landscapes to Java’s cultural heart, Bali’s wellness enclaves and Jakarta’s urban energy.

More than an accolade, this is a portrait of how Indonesian hospitality continues to evolve, rooted in a sense of place and meaningful experience.
