About
For something slightly fancy and a little more elegant, & why... is a bistro inspired by the streets of New York. The interior design aims to emulate 1940s New York, just as their staff do, in their crisp and smart gentlemen's couture. The food fare is impeccable, with salads, soup, sandwiches and seafood among the savoury highlights. Not to be outdone, drinks at & why... are just as outstanding: there is brewed coffee, and flavourful mocktails that perfectly match your food.

Nice NY food for brunch! The place is cozy, great for a weekend brunch. Make reservations as it is packed during peak hours.

Can't really speak for the entire menu, but we didnt like what we tried. Forgot what the name is but ordered the squidink pasta and a type of sandwich. Was really disappointed with the sandwich as it was just a piece of bread with some meat in it.. squidink pasta was fine. The drinks and desserts were pretty good but the starter and main was just underwhelming. We just don't think it is worth the price. Waiter was really nice though.

First of all the address is now 674 North Bridge Road. The atmosphere on 2nd level feels just like any other western restaurant, given that it's alongside many muslim restaurants and hippie fabric shops. Crabmeat pasta was great!

We made a reservation for 7.45pm on the phone and it was accepted by a very professional and courteous lady. Not sure 🤔 why the restaurant was closed when we turned up and we were not informed earlier. The night was not lost as we discovered another good restaurant.

This place deserves more love and customers We ordered crabmeat pasta, cheesesteak and salted egg calamari. Pasta had generous chunks of crabmeat, sauce was good and the calamari was honest and yummy cos itwasn't from those frozen squid. The cheesesteak was so-so cos we weren't big fan of the homemade bbq sauce. Overall would recommend here for decent meals and service. Great for intimate gathering as place is cozy

Booked this place for my brother's birthday and all 5 of us enjoyed all our food and drink orders. The place is beautiful and cosy, the music was classy, and the service was attentive. But the food really is the highlight. It was really good.

Drop by to this cafe to have brunch. I had eggs benedicts and sirlion steak (tennesse sauce) with grill vegetables. The sauce was delicious and sirlion steak cooked perfectly. Overall, nice atmosphere, great food and superb service. Will recommend my friends!

I finally have the time to actually compliment & Why amidst my busy schedule! & Why has been nothing short of amazing! The service and food was tiptop I booked a table via Chope and made a request to surprise the birthday boy with a cake! Upon reaching I was attended by Tisay, I handed over an envelope of a request as Chope doesn't allow me to write more than the maximum characters, hence I wrote a letter to make sure everything goes according to plan and Tisay helped out flawlessly. She did however mentioned that at the point of time, there was no cakes available in house but it was replaced with a dessert instead, and it was good nonetheless! I had the Rosemary Chicken, and the birthday boy had the Crab Meat Pasta, all in all it was a great experience and the service catered was beyond expected. Thank you Tisay, Sufi and the lovely girl in the hijab for helping out with the surprise! Would definitely patron & Why again!

Tuck in a quiet Bali lane in the Arab st area, you have a restaurant specializing in halal American steaks. Good choices of sauces to select too. Salted egg calamari was super👍🏽 Ribeye was 4star Potato dishes and salad was good. Overall presentation was very good. Reasonably priced. Service can be a little slow but all orders arrived ok. Worth the visit if you are in the area.

Stumbled upon this place on accident while looking around. I love the ambience here, not too bright and the music wasn’t too loud such that I had to raise my voice to talk. The food was also delightful and perfectly portioned. Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. Overall an extremely pleasant experience.

We had the soup of the day (carrot puree), squid ink aglio olio, rosemary chicken with waffle fries and mocha latte. I enjoyed the carrot puree with garlic bread the most. Overall a pleasant experience with attentive service.

This was my second visit to &why. Food was good as usual; i had the prawn tacos while my friend had the ultimate breakfast. However the male waiter could improve on his service. I asked for a small plate and he passed me one with an ant crawling on it. He simply flicked it away and wanted me to take the plate, until i told him to give me another plate.
