Went to this place for a quick bite before a movie and it was relatively quick. As there wasn't much dining crowd, I didn't have to wait too long before the food was served.

Located at the floor of Shaw Theatre, one would be able to watch all the trailers on the big projector screen.

Ordered a Carbonara pasta and a Apple Chicken Walnut salad. I like the refreshing mix of apples and walnut together with some sautéed chicken slices. The pasta, on the other hand, was actually quite creamy so it felt kinda gelat halfway through. But there was a generous serving of crispy bacon along with the pasta, adding on an addictive crunch to it.

Overall, I find the food quality here pretty much satisfying yet being reasonably-priced. But surprisingly it was relatively deserted on a Sunday evening

There is something I really enjoy about Ice Shaken Lemon Tea - the shaking produces this layer of foam at the top and gives it a nice homemade taste. I also like how it is not that sweet and has a deep English tea taste to it, not at all like other ice lemon teas which just taste like sugar water.

The Spaghetti Carbonara ($13.50) has a "chef's icon" next to it on the menu, flagging it as one of their signature dishes here, so I decided to give it a try. It comes with a poached egg that is perfectly runny when you pierce into it with a fork.

They also use good parmesan cheese for the pasta sauce which doesn't make it overly salty like other cheeses. I actually quite enjoyed the fact that the sauce was a little bit grainy and clumpy (probably due to the egg) because this gives it a very homely taste, even though the menu describes it as a "smooth cream sauce".

If you like desserts, you should definitely try some of their Macarons which come in 6 different flavours - Rose, Chocolate Noir, Fleur De Sel Caramel (salted caramel), Feuilletine, Hazelnut, Cookies & Cream. A box of 6 assorted macarons cost $11.50 which would normally cost $2.50 per piece.

You will definitely find me back here again when I need a peaceful place to have some quality comfort food and a sweet treat! Although the service here can be pretty nonchalant, it is perfect for times when you just want to be left alone to indulge in good food.

Egg Mayo Sandwiches
Which was freaking yummy even though it's just egg and mayoooo. (Y)

Overall, I feel that the high tea set was pretty okay, priced at $25 for 2 people and also, the ambience of the restaurant was great!

They always have a gorgeous selection of cakes, tarts and other pastries but I didn't know that Canele also serves mains, until today. I ordered the Pesto Pasta with Prawns and the presentation looked really good in a large white bowl. However, the pasta was way too salty. There was so much salt that I could barely even taste the basil pesto. They are probably better off just sticking to cakes and pastries.

Also, the staff at the cashier was sporting a really bad mood that day and didn't seem like she was interested in preparing our bill at all. Bad service + bad food = never ever gonna come back here again.

The Food
I ordered the Signature Macarons with Hazelnut & Fleur De Sel flavour, Le Chocolat Croustillant (Crispy Chocolate Cake) .This cake melted softly in my mouth leaving behind very strong and pleasant dark chocolate and hazelnut taste.
As for the Hazelnut Macarons, this is Canele’s signature creation which consists of butter cream with hazelnut praline & toasted hazelnuts. Love the hazelnut bits to bits (pun intended)! The hazelnut taste was strong but pleasant and it helps that the macaron shell is hazelnut flavoured.

The Service
The service is good and quick as the waitress were friendly and smiling at me. I waited for few minutes until the food were served to me.

The Ambience
The ambience is cosy and quiet and very nice for chilling out with friends.

The Price
The Macarons priced at $2.50 each and Le Chocolat Croustillant at $8 each are reasonably priced

Overall
I will definitely come back again and highly recommended to try this restaurant! I really had a wonderful time and satisfied experience of the food and place !!

Was having a really long walk along the orchard road area with my sister and decided to have a short rest in this cosy cafe. The staffs are very friendly and our order reach us less than ten minutes. I have ordered a cup of their cappucino and was really impressed with the taste of it. Very fragrant coffee bean has been used in making this hot beverage and the generous amount of fresh milk added in it has make it tastes even more nice and tastier too. Have it with a slice of their cheese cake

Canele's macaron is a bit different from TWG one.
Canele has more choices and color.
I not really like macaron,but i still buy it to gift my friend.
The smell of tea and flower is quite nice.
But the TWG one has more the tea flavour.
It has crispy outer part plus nice inner paste make the macaron taste nice.
And the sweetness is also just right.

As their looks are very attractive, they are really a ideal present for friend.

Canele strawberry shortcake. I got attracted to it by the look. With lots of cream all over and sugar coated strawberry on top. Looked yummy enough? Inside is made of vanilla sponge cake. The sweetness of the cream was neutralised by the cake. It is really nice, not too sweet and not too creamy and thick as well. I can finish the entire piece by myself which goes to show that it is really worth trying!

If you are those who really have 'very' sweet tooth, this 'very' sweet pastry may delight you. The light biscuits are filled with thick dark chocolate fillings, which is very crunchy. But may not be my flavourite choose of pastry as it is too sweet for me and I find that the price is too high for just a small piece of it. However children may be attracted by its appearance as they can be really colourful if you buy a dozen and the gift box used in placing it is very presentable too.

Cheese fan like me should not miss the american cheese cake from Canele. The cheese used in making it is quite generous in portion and you can taste the fragrant of thickness of cheese during every mouthful of it. It has also baked till with the golden brown texture on it which make it looks really presentable, simple and yet beautiful. Although the price is quite high, but I would not mind to pay for it as it is really delicious and you may even crave for more after your first slice. Simply

Newly renovated Canele at the very last level of Shaw. It's a great hang out place before a movie. I had a cup of ice chocolate and a plate of macarons. I didn't like the ice chocolate at all as it was too thick and a tad too bitter. Tasted loads of cocoa powder. As for the macarons, i had pistachio (green), praline and Bittersweet Dark Chocolate & chocolate ganache. These 3 are my favourites. Pistachio with a rich cream topped with bits of pistachio nut.

The macarons here are nice but they are not very big at all. They ar eone of the smallest in Singapore! Costs $2.50 + GST for one. The flavours are alright. Nothing special really. Because the macarons are so small, you finish it before you get a real taste of what it's about. The ones at Hilton and Hediard are bigger but more expensive but you can at least taste what's going on. Nevertheless, the colours are pretty and it's always nicely presented.

Nothing outstanding about their tastes or flavours. The display shelves really get you with the display of cakes and tarts and macarons. But it's nicer to look at than they taste.
