In 2014, Aussie Chef Darren Farr started The Lokal, an Australian Restaurant-Bar, providing customers with homemade comfort food — including butter, sauces, pickles and meats all made on site. Our name is German for local, an influence that be explained by its proximity to Goethe-Institut Singapore and is also reflective of our diverse and worldly approach towards food that can be enjoyed by the people in Singapore.

In the day, he serves up healthy and hearty brunches but slowly transits into a cozy and versatile space for intimate dinners & casual cocktails sessions with comfort food by German Head Chef Max Strauch. Aside from the normal menus, both Chef Darren & Max also prepare Daily Specials with fresh seasonal produces for Brunch & Dinner, like Victorian Truffles & White Asparagus.

Chef Darren Farr, more prominently known by his Instagram followers as ‘fuzzychef’, used to work at Tetsuya’s in Sydney, before working at various restaurants across London and Hong Kong.

Chef Max Strauch spent most of his childhood growing up in Jakarta (which explains how he can speak fluent Bahasa) before heading back to Germany to further his culinary journey, spending years in Cookies Cream, a popular vegetarian fine dining restaurant in Berlin. The well-travelled Chef Max also worked in Hamburg & Australia before settling into The Lokal in Singapore, showcasing his style of comfort food with great produce.

So the next time you swing by, pull out a seat at the kitchen counter and have a chat with the chefs to find out more about the food you’re eating at The Lokal! (Apr 2018)
