Giraffe Restaurant And Bar
Coupled with just the right touches (such as warm colorful lights and sensual lounge music) to make the place cozy, Giraffe is a new two storey restaurant-cum-bar that scores on ambiance. It has sleek and minimalist décor with dashes of sophistication. The menu flaunts primarily continental cuisine. We started our meal with the buffalo mozzarella […]

The serene and calm setting belies this restaurant’s location right in the heart of Orchard […]

Animal Instinct
We have some fun with the animals in Queen Ping.

Kudos to service staff with initiative. Café Oriental is a new little nook tucked in the […]

Überburger is a gourmet burger restaurant and bar which serves generous portions of lean juicy meat and organic greens between freshly-baked buns, all in a “rough luxury” dining interior. Feeling extravagant? Consider the 250 gram monster burger, […]
