Symmetry
Aussie-style all-day dining cafe-bar near Kampong Glam.
Symmetry is an all-day dining restaurant and bar on Jalan Kubor, established in 2012 and shaped by Aussie cafe culture. It serves contemporary Australian creations, cocktails and cafe-style food in a laid-back setting that moves from morning meals to evening drinks. The location near Kampong Glam gives it a different feel from Orchard and CBD brunch spots, and the venue is well suited to diners who like a cafe that can also handle lunch, dinner or drinks. It remains one of Singapore's more recognisable brunch names from the earlier cafe wave.
Symmetry has staying power because it understands the Aussie brunch template: generous plates, relaxed service, coffee, and the option to keep going into cocktails. It is a good choice around Bugis or Kampong Glam when you want something more substantial than pastry and coffee. The food is not as tightly specialised as newer micro-cafes, and prices can add up with drinks. Still, its atmosphere and all-day format make it a reliable brunch-to-evening spot.
It has more than a decade of credibility, a clear Australian all-day dining identity and a useful location for brunch around Bugis and Kampong Glam.
