A Timeless Table: Refined Dining at Tablescape

In the heart of Singapore’s historic Civic District, Grand Park City Hall hosts a culinary gem that feels suspended in time. Tablescape Restaurant and Bar, located on Level 3, is a tribute to the art of fine dining, a place where every meal is treated as a special moment. As you step inside, the neoclassical beauty of the interior and the classic table service immediately transport you to an era of refined elegance, setting a sophisticated stage for the gastronomic journey ahead.

Tablescape is celebrated for its refined Modern European cuisine, where time-honored dishes are reinvented with a contemporary twist. This culinary philosophy is complemented by the Tablescape Lounge, an exquisite space that offers an inspired list of artisanal cocktails, curated wines, and craft beers. Together, the restaurant and lounge create a destination designed for all-occasion dining, a haven of exquisite taste in the heart of Singapore’s dynamic city center.

Our dinner was part of the exclusive Epicurean Retreat Package, a curated offering that promised a perfect blend of comfort and cuisine. This package not only included our luxurious accommodation but also a three-course Modern European set menu for two and complimentary tickets to the Asian Civilisations Museum, making for a truly holistic cultural and gastronomic escape.

A Symphony of Flavors: A Culinary Review

The dining experience at Tablescape is a masterful journey through classic and contemporary European cuisine. Our meal was a three-course showcase of the chef’s expertise, with each dish meticulously crafted to delight the senses.

The starters offered a trio of exquisite choices. The Burrata was a celebration of freshness, a creamy, delicate cheese paired with vibrant heirloom cherry tomatoes, a peppery rocket salad, crunchy almonds, and a drizzle of aged balsamic and basil oil. For a richer start, the Duck Foie Gras was decadent and luxurious, balanced perfectly by the sweetness of fig confiture and confit peach, the earthy notes of beetroot, and the nutty crunch of pistachios and truffle.

For our main course, we were presented with three equally compelling options. The Honey Soy Ginger Miso Broiled Cod was a testament to refined simplicity—the fish was flaky and moist, its light flavor enhanced by a savory-sweet miso glaze and a tangy lemon sauce. For a classic pasta lover, the Fettuccine was pure comfort, a vegetarian delight with a rich, creamy sauce of Parmigiano, aromatic truffle, and fresh sage. The highlight for many was the Stony River Australian Angus Beef, a 200g Angus striploin cooked to perfection. It was tender and full of flavor, served alongside a velvety garlic potato mousseline, perfectly grilled vegetables, and a deep, savory red wine jus.

The meal concluded with a choice of two sophisticated desserts. The Valrhona Choc Pots De Crème was a chocolate lover’s dream: a rich, Manjari chocolate crème brûlée with a satisfyingly crisp top, served with chocolate chip ice cream and a vibrant burst of forest berries. For a lighter, more refreshing end, the Champagne dessert was a bubbly and elegant creation, featuring a delicate Champagne gel, fresh forest berries, and a smooth mascarpone.
