圆形酒店

After working in some prestigious kitchens, Chef Nicolas Tam makes his debut with this intimate, understated and well-run restaurant. His solid French techniques come through in his pan-Asian tasting menu featuring mostly Japanese ingredients, sporting refinement, precision and balance. Served and introduced by the chefs themselves, the courses flow seamlessly and build upon each other. Counter seats overlooking the kitchen are the ones to go for.

Hailing from Nagoya, the Japanese head chef champions a refined, elegant approach to sushi. The menus emphasise freshness and star white fish alongside other luxury seasonal produce. Ingredients are shipped from Japan four times a week and sushi rice from Yamagata and Ishikawa prefectures is mixed in a specific ratio to the best effect. Sushi is served with two sauces to accentuate the umami of the fish. The extensive sake list offers pairing options by the glass.

The modern French cuisine with Asian overtones is not to be outdone by the unobstructed views of Marina Bay, smart decor and discreet service. The chef team knows the Asian F&B market inside out and the single tasting menu showcases premium seafood from all over the world, especially Japan. Natural flavours are accentuated in mindful preparations underpinned by solid skills. Closed on some public holidays, so call ahead to check.

Embodying the essence of fine dining, this romantic restaurant has it all – wonderful food, service and ambiance, and spectacular views. Chef Westaway makes good use of top-notch British produce and inspirations to turn out modern culinary creations that never fail to impress. A British classic, fish & chips, gets a posh makeover with sour cream, lemon zest and caviar. Even the alcohol-free gin and tonic palate cleanser is impeccably crafted.

In addition to naming his venture after the Tim Winton book, Sri Lankan chef Rishi Naleendra pays homage to Australia where he honed his skills. His food embodies balance and harmony, making the best use of top-quality ingredients and well thought-out flavours. Highlights include Sri Lankan curry with blue marron and coconut broth, and Murray cod with fermented bell pepper and almonds. The savvy front-of-house team delivers slick service and the perfect vibe.

Chef Sun Kim hails from Korea's Busan and his refined modern cooking combines Korean traditions and bold flavours with minimalist plating. The single tasting menu is dominated by seafood and vegetables, as seen in steamed Jeju abalone with gochujang seaweed risotto – the tender mollusc, creamy rice and crunchy lily bulbs feature contrasting textures. In addition to wine pairing, the non-alcoholic Korean drink flight is also worth trying.

Chef Mano Thevar serves a creative multi-course menu rooted in Indian traditions and crafted with European techniques. Signature dishes such as Chettinad chicken roti or Brittany lobster in curry beurre blanc pack a ton of oomph, while maintaining a fine balance with mindful touches. A vegetarian version is available but needs pre-ordering. The wine list covers 600+ labels; ask about wine, sake and non-alcoholic drink pairings.
