Singapore – Located in the tranquil neighbourhood of stevens road near Novotel Singapore on Stevens and Mercure Singapore on Stevens is Winestone. As we entered the orange lit restaurant, we loved the high ceilings and feeling of openness dotted with interesting paintings. A modern-European restaurant, late-night bar and wine retail store, this place offers plenty.
Winestone is embarking on an immersive journey this Christmas partnering with four local makers. Featuring cocktails from Dannon Har, Chief mixologist from Section D, June Chen, lead designer from Floral Mikelle, Jas Rehand, founder at A Poet’s Terroir and Leon Hay, owner of Singapore’s goat farm.
New Tastes
We tried the Winestone 4-course festive menu and found that the quality of food to be top-notch, lets take a look.
The Chilito Salad was packed with Mexican flavours sitting on a taco topped with tangy Salsa. A good opener for the milder Pepper Tuna Salad which was fresh and dressed up with plenty of microgreens and edible flowers, The Goat’s Cheese Salad was interesting and is a deconstructed take on the Italian rock melon pickle with prosciutto ham
Mains
The Seafood Bisque is packed with umami with a lobster knuckle and a hit of truffle for good measure. This soup certainly warmed our stomachs for the mains
MS2 Ribeye with mushroom, Fricassee, Bearnaise, was cooked to perfection and the meat was seasoned perfectly. For non-beef eaters, you can go for the Fresh Sea Perch with sun-dried tomatoes and fennel salad. The delicate fish was tender with crispy skin and the fennel salad went really well with a crunchy element.

The Free Tange Organic Chicken with ugly potatoes was really well seasoned and really juicy on the inside. Barbecued Iberico Pork Ribs were fall off the bone tender and the sticky sweet Quince glazed made our mouth water.
