Le Bon Funk is a neighbourhood wine bar concept from The Lo & Behold Group — the hospitality team behind the line 'Making Our City More Lovable' — pairing an easy-going wine programme with produce-led plates. The Holland Village branch at 277 Holland Ave brings that formula to one of Singapore's most sociable neighbourhoods, alongside its sibling on Club Street and the group's cocktail bar, Bar Bon Funk, in River Valley.
The kitchen keeps produce at the centre of the table, with plates designed to sit alongside a glass of wine rather than play second fiddle to it. The branch's signature ritual is the chicken dinner, held Mondays to Wednesdays, when the Whole Heritage Chicken takes centre stage. Portions are limited daily and reservations are encouraged.
From Friday to Sunday, Holland Village adds a lunch service, with Weekend Lunch Specials running from 12pm to 3.30pm — a newer addition to the roster that turns the wine bar into a midday destination too.
For special moments, exclusive gatherings or reservations with eight or more guests, the team arranges large group bookings and private events, recommending the perfect experience for the occasion.
Holland Village has long been one of Singapore's most sociable corners — the kind of neighbourhood where dinner drifts into another glass and the evening stretches a little longer than planned. Le Bon Funk's Holland Village branch is built for exactly that rhythm. It is one of two Le Bon Funk locations, part of a series of neighbourhood wine bars complemented by produce-led plates, run by The Lo & Behold Group, the hospitality company behind the line "Making Our City More Lovable". Its siblings include the original Le Bon Funk on Club Street and Bar Bon Funk, a cosy cocktail bar in River Valley with grooves, drinks and plates.
The Le Bon Funk formula is simple to describe and harder to find done well: a relaxed neighbourhood wine bar, and a kitchen that lets produce lead. Rather than treating vegetables and seasonal ingredients as an afterthought to the main event, the cooking is organised around them — plates conceived to sit beside a glass of wine, to move around the table, and to follow what's good. That produce-led approach shapes the whole experience, from the first plate to the last pour, and gives the menu a lighter, more seasonal feel than the typical wine-bar spread.
The branch's best-known ritual is its chicken dinner. From Mondays to Wednesdays, the kitchen serves the Whole Heritage Chicken — a whole-bird centrepiece built for the middle of the table. There's a catch worth knowing: portions are limited each day, and the team encourages reservations if the chicken is the reason you're coming. It has become the kind of order that defines a visit — simple, generous, and made to be shared over wine.
Lunch is a newer addition to the roster at Holland Village. Weekend Lunch Specials run from 12pm to 3.30pm, Fridays through Sundays, adding a midday service to the neighbourhood. For locals, it turns Le Bon Funk into more than an evening destination — a place for a long Friday lunch that rolls gently into the weekend, or a Saturday pause between errands.
Le Bon Funk was conceived as a series of neighbourhood wine bars, and the Holland Village branch embraces that role. This is a room for regulars as much as first-timers: easy enough for a weeknight, considered enough for a celebration. The wine-first orientation means the plates are built to accompany what's in the glass, and the overall mood leans convivial rather than formal — closer to a favourite local than a special-occasion-only room.
Beyond walk-in evenings, the team arranges large group bookings and private events. For special moments, exclusive gatherings, or reservations with eight or more guests, the events team will recommend the perfect experience — useful for birthdays, team dinners, or any occasion that outgrows a standard table. Enquiries are handled through the group's events page.
Reservations for Le Bon Funk Holland Village are made through the reservations page on the Bon Funk website. If it's the chicken dinner you're after, aim for a Monday to Wednesday and book ahead; if lunch suits you better, the Weekend Lunch Specials run 12pm to 3.30pm from Friday to Sunday. Updates on both concepts — and on Bar Bon Funk in River Valley — are shared via the group's site and the @lebonfunk Instagram account. Whether it becomes your regular pour or a one-off detour, the premise stays the same: honest wine, produce at the centre of the table, and a neighbourhood room that's easy to linger in.
