With the introduction of its BGC branch’s new dinner menu, the beloved Melbourne-born café offers an entirely new experience for those seeking delicious bites after dark.
For many of us, ST. ALi has become synonymous with great coffee, leisurely brunches, and a café atmosphere that makes it dangerously easy to lose track of time. It’s one of those places I find myself returning to again and again, not just for the coffee, but for the consistency, warmth, and hospitality that have become part of its identity. Now, the beloved café is giving diners another reason to stay just a little longer: a new dinner menu at its flagship Grand Hyatt Residences South Tower location in BGC that transforms the space into an evening destination for after-work drinks, casual dinners, and laid-back gatherings.

Beginning at 4 PM daily, the café shifts gears for evening service, embracing a noticeably different mood from its daytime counterpart. The lighting softens, creating a warmer and more intimate atmosphere that feels tailor-made for winding down after a long day or catching up with friends over drinks and shared plates. The new menu has been designed with pairing and sharing in mind, placing equal emphasis on food and beverages that encourage a more social dining experience.
Among the standout dishes are Ham & Cheese Croquettes, Lamb Kebabs, Peri Peri Chicken Skewers, Scotch Eggs, and Prawn Toast. Diners looking for comforting bar bites can also indulge in Polenta Chips, Dirty Rice, and Chicken Wings, each crafted to complement the beverage program.
Cocktails Worth Staying For
No evening menu is complete without a compelling drinks list, and ST. ALi delivers with a lineup of playful signature creations. Highlights include the Strawberry Chocolate Negroni, a creative twist on the classic Italian aperitif; alongside the floral Whiskey Jasmine Highball and the citrus-forward Dirty Limoncello. As for those who still want a touch of the café’s coffee-forward DNA, the Ube Coffee Colada offers a Filipino-inspired sip that bridges dessert, coffee, and cocktail culture in one glass.
With its new dinner menu, ST. ALi successfully evolves beyond its reputation as a daytime café. While the coffee is usually what first draws many guests through its doors, the latest evening experience proves there’s plenty of reason to return and stay past sunset.
