Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

We think Alkove Bistro offers a reliable option for a casual meal in the Hougang/Kovan area.

The menu leans towards Western comfort food, with several reviewers highlighting the 'hearty, flavorful' mains.

The Set Dinner, available from 5:30 pm, appears to be a good value, bundling a main with a starter, side, and dessert.

Specific dishes like the Cheesy Baked Pasta, Grilled Teriyaki Salmon, and the Truffle Mushroom Pizza receive consistent praise.

While the Tiramisu is noted for its strong coffee flavour, the Shibuya Toast with ice cream might be too sweet for some.

Prices are described as 'slightly higher than average,' but the quality and cozy atmosphere seem to justify it for many.

Expect the bistro to get crowded on weekends, which can impact service speed.

We'd recommend visiting on a weekday evening to enjoy the set dinner without the weekend rush.

What customers say

Alkove Bistro in Hougang consistently receives praise for its hearty, flavorful mains like cheesy baked pasta, grilled teriyaki salmon, and beef bourguignon, often highlighted for refined plating and generous portions.

Customers appreciate the cozy ambiance and excellent customer service, though some find prices slightly higher than average and the Shibuya toast overly sweet.

The strong, caffeine-soaked tiramisu is a recurring talking point.
