Badoque

Badoque Cafe stands as a beloved halal-certified establishment in Singapore's eastern heartlands since 2008. Originally established at Simpang Bedok before expanding to Upper Thomson in 2014, this 100% halal restaurant has built a loyal following for its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with touches of Middle Eastern and Asian fusion flavours.

The cafe's signature dish is undoubtedly its gargantuan beef rib - a towering portion of tender meat served with potatoes, greens, and smothered in thick barbecue sauce that has become the stuff of local food legend. Other crowd favourites include their juicy steaks, ultra spicy chicken wings, and the Chili Chombis appetiser featuring breaded nuggets stuffed with jalapeños, cream cheese and aromatic spices.

Located at 298 Bedok Road, Badoque offers generous portions perfect for sharing in a casual dining atmosphere. The Mushroom Steak, Seafood Aglio Olio, and Ayam Bakar consistently receive praise from diners, though the standout remains those famous ribs. Operating Monday to Thursday and weekends from 12pm-11pm, with Friday hours from 3pm-11pm, the restaurant provides affordable Mediterranean dining that caters to families and groups seeking hearty halal meals in the east.
