Arguably one of Tiong Bahru's best haunts, Open Door Policy has made a name for itself thanks to its rustic charm and simple, comfort food.
Now, there's even more reason to pay a visit. Its recent concept refresh presents a gluten-free and dairy-free menu, thanks to Spa Esprit Group’s push for green initiatives.

First of all, the menu taps into the chefs' knowledge of alternative food sources, substitute ingredients and pickling know-how, resulting in a light and nutritious menu that's suitable for even those with food allergies.
Secondly, the walls feature indoor vertical farming panels where leafy greens are grown in-house for the new dishes.
