Following the success of their Caribbean restaurant Lime House, the folks behind this popular food institution decided to set up Singapore's first Caribbean deli, serving dressed-down versions of the restaurant's popular menu items. Situated in Telok Ayer, Lime Deli offers easy grab-and-go items for takeaways. Meals are affordable, and they also have breakfast, tea time, and early dinner promotions so you don't have to break the bank for delicious Caribbean food. Do make it a point to try their jerk beef burger or jerk chicken!

Brunch in this brick-walled space is always a lovely affair, from the ambience to the well-executed food.
