Wine & Chef
7 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089115
Opening Hours: 12pm – 11pm (Mon – Sat), Closed Sun
Wine & Chef serves up “semi fine-dining food” at pocket friendly prices. A big reason why they are able to keep costs lower is because the restaurant imports Italian wine directly from the wineries and boutique wine producers, in turn passing on the savings to the consumers.
While its menu has previously been categorised as “Mod-Sin”, I would say these are Italian dishes with a creative Asian take.
Dishes that Wine & Chef recommends include the Wagyu Beef Tartar, 100 Day Grain Fed Ribeye Steak, Salmon Crudo, ‘Due’ Finger, Seared Scallop, Roasted Baby Chicken, Salmon Risotto, Pork Collar, Scallop Capellini, Truffle Fries, and ‘Tea’ramisu.
Special: Hokkaido Scallop Capellini
This is a cold Capellini dish, and probably that one item that left the deepest impression.
This was largely due to a combination of the al dente pasta and fresh sashimi grade Hokkaido scallops.
The truffle flavour was strong on this one, but it was the soy dressing with a Japanese touch that was both aromatic and appetising.
