Cha Bar

Cha Bar is relaxed spot that combines two of the best things in life: food and books. The restaurant is an extension of the neighboring Oxford Bookstore and visitors can browse for books here while waiting for their food order from the varied menu at ChaBar. If you don’t want to eat, then read your new book over one of the teas from the long tea menu on offer.

Berco’s serves both Chinese cuisines and some Thai dishes too, and unlike many other Chinese restaurants, it specializes in authentic Chinese cookery, using traditional techniques and fresh ingredients. Try the chicken drumsticks, Singapore noodles and fruit beer (a refreshing highlight). The décor is inspired by Chinese culture too, with plenty of Chinese art and paintings decorating the walls.
