The thought of fashion and food probably do not fall in the same frame. With gorgeous looking, size-zero-models on the runways - is it really our fault for making food the last thing on our minds when thinking about brands such as Burberry, Chanel and Gucci?
Designers beg to differ; the opening of Chanel’s pop up cafe in Singapore was proof enough.While we went loca to have a sip of this truly luxurious coffee, the brand was out to prove that they can do more than just clothes.
If you’re looking for places where you can have a fashionable dining experience, we got an entire list. Some While some of them are half-way across the world, the others are just short flights away!

If you were in Singapore between the 8th and 16th of April, 2017, you would’ve been stunned by the long queues outside Chanel’s pop-up cafe in Dhoby Ghaut. In line with the launch of the brands newest collection of Rouge Coco Gloss, Chanel opened a cafe that served actual coffee while customers sat and appreciated all 27 shades of the lippies.
