Address: 2 Stamford Road, Level 70
Jaan is a modern British restaurant serving their interpretation of fish and chips as a snack (not an amuse bouche) and final sweets (not mignardises or petit fours). The restaurant is located on the top floor of Swissotel The Stamford in the City Hall area of Singapore. It has a stunning view of the Singapore River as well as the iconic Marina Bay Sands. The wine list is predominantly French, and the breadth of the regions covered is aptly matched by the diversity of producers in all the regions. The Burgundy selection is the work of a genius, and one thing that often excites me about the Lo...

Convivial is the work of passion by sommelier champion Yeo Xi Yang. It is the first and only Champagne-focused bar in Singapore which put many a naysayer to rest. “Asians do not like sparkling wines and bubbles!” is a statement of the past. It is indeed true that sparkling wines as aperitifs were hard sells back when I was working the floor, but Yang stepped in and ripped all these ideas apart. Champagnes are naturally higher value and do indeed create a bigger hole in the pocket. But if it makes you happy, what's the problem? At Convivial, you will also find well-selected bar grubs in the f...

This is one of my favourite lists, not just because of the grand selection of Burgundy wines but also for the fun quotes all over the list. Did you for example know that Karl Marx once aptly warned to “be careful to trust a person who does not like wine”?! A Burgundy bistro and wine bar by a native Burgundian Geoffrey Daurelle (owner and General Manager) makes total sense as a concept, and I love strong concepts as much as I love diversity. I’m not the biggest fan of commercialised wine collections purchased just because the owners are super wealthy. I believe in a large diversity within con...

When you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary experience, both food and wine-wise, Zén should be high on your list. The casual and informal treatment by the staff, while at the same time being correct and extremely knowledgable on all aspects of the food, beverages and the pairings, gives this establishment that little extra that you should expect from a three-star Michelin restaurant. The food is very exciting, tasteful and beautiful in a more Asian-inspired way than what might be expected, seeing that the origin of the concept is from Scandinavia. The beverage pairings are, more often than...

Claudine is 3-Michelin star chef Julien Royer's second restaurant in Singapore. It is centrally situated in an area called Dempsey Hill, which seems to be an emerging area for top chefs to cluster. The food is classic French, hearty yet elegantly done. The space is grand as it was an old heritage chapel, so when you enter the space, it transports you to a different dimension from what we usually have in our concrete jungle Singapore. If I were on a date at Claudine, I am sure my date would be upset about how much time I will need to read this list. So many gems, yet so little time! The list...

Address: 21 Boon Tat Street
Fool is a Michelin Bib Gourmand wine bar a stone's throw away from their sister restaurant Cloudstreet. They are based very near to Singapore's business district on Boon Tat Street. The space reminds me of a funky, groovy disco lounge with a beautiful sound system and great tunes. Not your run-of-mill wine bar for sure; bright, colourful, and quirky paintings adorn the walls, and the furniture is chic and tastefully designed. The first thing that greets you on the first page of the wine list is bold, cheeky, groovy disco-styled font shouting "WINE". It's amazing how it immediately sets the t...

Forma is a passion project by the dynamic trio of the Cicheti group; Liling, Aun, and Ronald. They are now joined by Yum Hwa, pasta maker extraordinaire, to set up Singapore’s hottest table in the ever-growing hipster area of Joo Chiat. You will find this elegant restaurant amongst old shophouses where families live, and old traders are operating shops. But that snaking queue and well-dressed patrons are quite a new sight now on Tembling Road. The Italy-dominated wine list boasts a representation of all of Italy’s 20 wine regions and at least 65 indigenous varieties. To top things up and to...

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Asia 2023
La Dame de Pic is Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic’s Singapore outpost, rightly positioned in the grande dame of Singapore, the Raffles Hotel. The restaurant is currently in what used to be Raffles Grill, the most formal and famous fine-dining location in Singapore back in those days. Now it is a stylishly designed space still elegantly structured by the heritage walls and ceilings of this 130-year-old colonial building. The cuisine is distinctively French with very delicate touches and accented with Asian flavours. The wine list is diverse yet very heavy on French classics. A cellar col...

A classic yet modern hotel steakhouse within the iconic Shangri-la Hotel Singapore's Orchard area. The restaurant features the best produce from the land, fields and sea and one of the best beef selections. We know that the sommelier is brave when categorising his wine list based on grape varieties. Letting the grapes shine and allowing the grapes to speak for themselves! He has snippets of grape information scattered around the list, sharing things like "what a Pinotage is" and "the meaning of Nero d'Avola". Wine geeks would be pleased to know that they can drink more than 40 varieties ran...
