Prada Caffe ION Orchard Adds A Summer Menu Of Crab Rolls And Matcha Cloud
Prada Caffe at ION Orchard has rolled out a new all-day Summer 2026 menu, and the headline is that the savoury dishes have caught up with the pastries. Located at #02-15 inside the newly renovated Prada boutique at 2 Orchard Turn, the cafe is open from 12pm to 9pm daily, and it remains the only Prada Caffe in Asia, which is why the reservations list is still tight a year after opening.
The seasonal refresh is built around a creamy crab roll, a matcha cloud drink, and a tableside gelato experience. Fzine's review, published 15 July 2026, walks through the standouts, and the short version is that the food is no longer just the backdrop to the photo wall.
The dishes worth ordering
The creamy lobster tail soup is the opener that gets the meal moving. It is a Mediterranean-dressed broth with chunks of lobster, and it is listed as a dish you will not want to share. The burrata and tomatoes focaccia is the sharing plate that follows well, topped with basil, pepper, and olive oil, and it works as a light main for one or a starter for two.
For lighter bites, the Iberico with tomato bruschetta and the traditional veal with tuna sauce are the ones to look at. If you want seafood, the crab catalana salad with taggiasca olives and celery is the cleaner option, and the crab roll is the showpiece of the summer menu. Tarragon-garnished crab sits on a mini brioche loaf with a creamy crab and cream cheese filling inside, and it is the dish reviewers single out as the reason to visit this season.
Drinks: the matcha cloud and the olive sour
For non-alcoholic drinks, the matcha cloud is the new seasonal pick. It is a matcha latte cut with coconut water, which makes it lighter and less bitter than the standard version, and it suits a hot Orchard afternoon. The olive sour cocktail is the boozy alternative, a gin-based drink with actual olive oil, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and honey, and it works as a palate cleanser between courses rather than a standalone sip.
Dessert and the panettone flown in from Milan
Save room for the tableside gelato experience, where you can customise ice cream with different sauces, toppings, and essential oils for fragrance. The vanilla gelato is the real deal, infused with vanilla bean, and it takes well to chocolate sauce, crushed pistachios, citrus peel, and a spritz of mango aroma.
The panettone is the other dessert to know about. It is flown in fresh from Milan, which makes it one of the rare panettones you can find outside of Christmas season. This summer's version is an apricot flavour with chunks of fruit, served with a light mascarpone cream on the side. Prestige Online lists the Summer Panettone at SGD 24 per slice.
The room itself and how to book
The space is the reason most people visit the first time. The walls and velvet sofas are in Prada's signature green, the black-and-white chequered floor reproduces the floor of the first Prada boutique opened in 1913 in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, and the curved glass facade carries the Prada triangle pattern overlooking Orchard Road. Tableware is original Prada, including pale-blue porcelain inspired by ancient Celadon pottery, made in Japan, with silver-plated cutlery. Reservations are through SevenRooms, and walk-ins are possible but unreliable at peak weekend slots.
The cafe switches its menu every few months with the seasons, so the summer dishes will make way for an autumn line-up. If you want the crab roll or the apricot panettone, this is the window.
