"Came here for lunch with my family and the food did not disappoint! Very impressed by how tender the smoked duck was in our pasta. The risotto was also quite delicious but we belatedly realised that it was quite a mushroom overload in the dishes that we ordered 🍄‍🟫 Very nicely decorated cafe with ample space. Would definitely revisit again!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely impressed with Principle by TAM! Honestly, this place exceeded my expectations. Every dish we ordered was a hit. The beef was incredibly tender, literally melts in your mouth. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and you can tell they pay attention to the details. The coffee selection is also a standout. As someone who enjoys café hopping around Mount Austin, I can confidently say their coffee is one of the better ones I've had. Rich, flavorful, and well-crafted. The ambiance is another big plus—relaxing, cozy, and perfect whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet meal. Service was excellent, staff were attentive, and our food arrived surprisingly fast despite the crowd. Great food, great coffee, great vibes, and great service. Principle by TAM definitely earned a spot on my favorites list. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back for more! ☕🍝🥩✨"

"A charming café with a clean, minimalist interior that feels both cosy and thoughtfully designed. The ambience is calm and comfortable, making it a nice spot for a relaxed meal or casual catch-up. Food-wise, the dishes are well-executed. The truffle mushroom risotto was creamy and aromatic, with a good balance of earthy flavours. The salmon had a nicely crisped skin and paired well with the smooth mashed potato, while the seabass was light and delicate. The four cheese pizza was rich and indulgent, with a soft, slightly chewy crust. Overall, a solid dining experience with good quality ingredients and presentation. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality mostly justifies it. Worth a visit if you’re in the Mount Austin area."

"First time eating here and tried their newest menu. Food was amazing and flavorful, the way my partner and myself enjoys. Will come again and we hope to try their old menu with risotto as an option!"

"Great atmosphere, but make sure to come at the right time as there might be a queue. I personally like the mushroom risotto, but you need to finish it before it gets cold. Pasta is also a good choice, but our favorite is the mashed potatoes."
