Love this place. Had many family gatherings with the family. Nice ambience and love the dinner buffet spread.

To clarify the halal issue; this restaurant is certified halal by counters, eg. Japanese counter, mediterranean counter. (it is on the list of halal certified est. by Muis.) This is how they circumvent the alcohol problem. As for the food, I've been to the hi-T once. Its not bad (not great either) but they have a chocolate fountain. Expensive but a nice place to meet friends.

In spite of the first review, I have to say that I enjoyed all my visits to Cafe Vienna. Ambience is excellent, food is even better. I especially love the make-your-own popiah basah they serve during high tea. And what better place is there to have a fusion of all types of food. It is a litle pricey, but worth every penny.

Judging by the large muslim crowds in this establishment on each of the two nights that I ate here, I am led to believe that there may be a personal story behind the other review. This place is Halal without question. We were introduced to Cafe Vienna by our cousins, who say they bring all guests from out of town. The buffet was beautiful...Endless supplies of sushi, cold lobster & shrimp, big salad and dessert bars, and a large selection of Malay and Western dishes. The food and service were top notch. Our visit was comfortable, nobody trying to rush us out to make room for new guests. Yes, it IS expensive for a family of four to eat there, but you will know where your money went. If it were in the budget, I could have eaten there every night of my trip...

In Singapore, halal restaurants/cafes/caterers must display a halal certificate issued by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). The certificate is valid only for one year. Eateries that serve alcohol in Singapore will not be given the halal certificate, although they claim their food is halal. In Singapore, it is advisable not to eat at places that do not display such a certificate. Only Muslim-owned/managed businesses are exempted from applying for the cetification.
