Ghaangothree Vegetarian Restaurant
While this smallish India restaurant looks just like any other ordinary eatery in Little India, Ghaangothree stands out for its quality vegetarian food and affordable prices. With its inconspicuous location, this is a great place if you’re looking for a hole-in-the-wall joint that no one’s really heard of. We especially liked the garlic and butter […]
Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant
Jia Wei is the in‑house restaurant of Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel. The signature chef’s creation, baby lobster with oats and curry leaf, was the highlight of our meal. We loved how the tasty oat crisps complemented the crunchy lobster meat. The rest of our orders, however, were average. The pan‑fried beef tenderloin, served with rice, […]
TBone Steakhouse and Cafe
This cozy eatery exudes a casual and laidback vibe. The seating is limited to the exterior part of the restaurant as most of the inside space is taken up by the kitchen. Meat lovers will dig the menu, which runs the gamut from a whopping 520 gram TBone Wagyu steak to the classic beef burger […]
Angel’s Share | Review
Angel’s Share restrobar first burst onto the scene last July with an impressive offering of 50 wine labels available by the glass, but whaddya know, it offers pretty fab chow too. The outdoor area faces a jungle of greenery, not in a creepy a la Lost way, but a romantic, pretty way. Service here is […]
Les Brasseries
A new offering on Club Street, this French restaurant that specializes in meat has moved into the space formerly occupied by successful Italian Gaetano’s and the odd Brazilian‑Japanese‑European restaurant Mozzaic that came and went. It has set itself up beautifully, with an elegant dining room that opens onto the quiet Mohamed Ali Lane. When we […]
Chef Chan’s Restaurant
Chef Chan made his mark at Pan Pacific’s Hai Tien Lo; this outlet replaces his last restaurant of the same name at Odeon Towers. When we walked into Chef Chan’s the first thing we were surprised to hear is that they had no a la carte and only one set menu (lunch, six courses; dinner, […]
Kyomomoyama
If you have been to The Central, you would probably notice that this riverside mall is riddled with retail and dining outlets with a strong Japanese focus. We headed to the unassuming Kyomomoyama, just because there wasn’t any long queue in front of the restaurant. The menu is quite extensive with a wide range of […]
Cugini Restaurant & Lounge Bar
Cugini has been gathering some buzz in the dining circuit—for their food as well as its good-looking Italian owners. When we got there, we realized that the table reserved for us gave us a good view of the kitchen. There was a clear glass pane where the chefs could look at us, and us at […]
Issui
This place looks more like a dessert and snack place than a traditional Japanese diner. It is uber casual and modern, with tables and booth seats in dazzling white. The menu here is pretty limited for a Japanese restaurant but the prices are fairly reasonable. We ordered the Hokkaido salad and the ikura oroshi—salmon roe […]
