Cafe De Swan is a cafe and BBQ catering business at Swan Lake Avenue in Singapore, combining an all-day cafe dining menu with premium BBQ platters, a private BBQ chef service, and an online shop selling premium meats and seafood.
The cafe side is described as a sanctuary of comfort, known for a carefully curated all-day menu of mains and savouries, handcrafted desserts, freshly brewed specialty coffee, and specialty beers on draft and in bottles, all served in a relaxing and cozy ambience.
On the catering side, Cafe De Swan offers premium BBQ platters that serve 5 to 50 people, delivered islandwide, alongside a private BBQ chef service where expert chefs with 5+ years of experience handle setup, grilling and cleanup at the customer's venue, using their own equipment including charcoal. A BBQ pit can also be rented at extra cost for those without one. Customers can additionally shop Cafe De Swan's ingredients directly, including premium beef, premium seafood, in-house marinated meats and signature desserts.
Cafe De Swan, on Swan Lake Avenue in Singapore, occupies an unusual spot in the local food scene: part neighbourhood cafe, part BBQ catering specialist, and part online butcher and seafood shop. The business describes itself as bringing 'backyard BBQ, upgraded' — premium BBQ platters, private chef service, and artisan cafe dining all under one roof.
Step inside and Cafe De Swan runs as a proper cafe, open every day from 11:30am to 10:30pm. The team describes it as a sanctuary of comfort, built around a carefully curated all-day menu of mains and savouries, handcrafted desserts, and freshly brewed specialty coffee. For those after something stronger, there's also a specialty beer selection available on draft and in bottles, adding a relaxed, cozy dimension to the space beyond a typical daytime cafe.
Where Cafe De Swan really sets itself apart is on the catering side. Their BBQ platters are designed for groups, serving 5 to 50 people, with delivery available islandwide across Singapore. The current platter lineup includes a Mixed Platter, an Ultimate Meat Platter for the more carnivorous, and a Premium Seafood Platter for those wanting to lean into shellfish and fish over grilled meats. All three require a 3-day pre-order, so forward planning is needed for parties and gatherings.
For those wanting the full experience without doing any of the work, Cafe De Swan offers a private BBQ chef service. Expert chefs with 5+ years of experience come to the customer's venue and handle everything — setup, grilling and cleanup — using their own equipment, including charcoal. The menu can be customised to suit the occasion, whether it's a backyard party, family gathering or special celebration. For anyone without their own BBQ pit, Cafe De Swan can also supply and transport one to the venue at an extra charge. Given both the chef service and pit rental depend on availability, the business recommends calling ahead to confirm before booking online.
Cafe De Swan also runs an online shop for those who'd rather grill it themselves. The range spans premium beef, premium seafood — including Japan Jumbo Scallops and Frozen Tiger Prawns — and a solid line-up of in-house marinated meats, from Duroc pork chops and spicy herb-marinated chicken thigh to a handful of house-made sausages, including beef chipolata, spicy chicken harissa, and coarse pork sausage. A signature desserts range rounds out the shop for anyone wanting to finish the meal with something sweet.
Cafe De Swan is located at 29 Swan Lake Avenue, Singapore, and is open daily from 11:30am to 10:30pm. Whether the plan is a relaxed coffee and dessert, a pre-ordered BBQ platter for a gathering, or a full private chef setup for a bigger celebration, the business positions itself as a one-stop option for BBQ lovers in Singapore looking for something more polished than a standard backyard cookout.
