From the same people behind defunct Table 66, Skyve Wine Bistro occupies the canteen space of former Monk's Hill Secondary School beside Anglo Chinese School (Junior). Formerly known as Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar, it is tucked away from main roads Clemenceau Avenue North and Bukit Timah Road. According to the website, it "offers a quiet refuge from the city bustle without any compromise on accessibility". Indeed, it was quiet the weekday evening I visited but would not recommend walking from Newton MRT Station in the current haze conditions. For the same reason, my dining companion and I gave the outdoors a miss and sat at the indoor dining area with wooden and green metal chairs. White placemats and plates with metal cutleries blended in with the white mosaic tops of black square tables, on which were Fiji water bottles in metal containers. Retro-looking lamps and wall dividers reminiscent of metal gates gave the place an old-world charm.
