THE PEAK BISTRO

This cosy yet elegant spot, on the first floor of the beautiful colonial building that is the historical Senior Police Officer’s Mess, is a great place to chill over a variety of Anglo-Chinese delights, ranging from poached spinach with crab meat and egg to escargots and foie gras. It’s a great place for a candlelit dinner, or even a buffet party for up to 80 people. Try the curry fish head (it uses grouper – good fish!), grilled lamb racks (above) and kueh jonggong.
