    Easily the best pasta place I’ve ever been to. The crabmeat pasta was heavenly and perfectly balanced. It’s so good that my vocabulary is unable to adequately describe the magical experience. Truffle fries was really fresh and crispy. Very generous portion size, recommended! The staff were attentive and we were promptly seated upon arriving around 1pm on a weekend — no waiting in line! Complimentary cup of water was a nice touch and the ambience was really laid back but classy. Table for 2 was a little on the smaller side so it would be kinda a tight fit if you’re planning to get more than 2 mains + 1 side for 2 pax. Otherwise, really positive experience and Eleven Strands is now my favourite pasta place. Will definitely be back a little too often in the future… Edit: Came back a third time and got the Truffle Mushroom Cream Pasta. The truffle aroma was very apparent and added a new dimension to the cream base. Recommended dish for cream base lovers! However, recently noticed the a/c was kind of weak. Could be the really hot weather out there, but I was perspiring throughout the meal.

    We had the $20 set lunch. The mushroom soup and French onion soup were ok. We ordered a side dish of escargot. This is not recommended. The escargot were not very well cooked. The bread served was hard. You should be able to take the bread to soak up the excess sauce from the escargot but this was not possible. Maybe the chef should try out this dish themselves to see that it needs improvement.

    Its a nice place to chill and the coffee is good. Service is great and the food selection is very decent. The only reason why i am giving it 4 stars is because i find the food strangely sweet. We ordered the carbonara, seared pork chop and the soups. All of them were too sweet for my liking but they do taste good though. Would patronise again next month to test again. Otherwise, great place, nice food!

    Have been here multiple times as I like their handmade pasta. My favourite would be the prawn pesto pasta! Ordered the escargot for the first time, and I don’t think it is worth the money 😂 it is not very flavourful, but the toast on the side is good. I ordered mocha which is thick and flavourful. Lastly, the truffle fries is my all time favourite here. Very savoury and flavourful! Overall, can give this place a try if you are around the area :)

    Great experience - food is delicious, staff is accommodating and ambience is comfortable. We ordered braised beef cheeks, wagyu burger and risotto. The beef burger is absolutely amazing. They have another cafe at Kembangan called “South Union Park” and it’s equally good. Would recommend you to drive there, more convenient.

    Food was really good and exceeded my expectations cos SG cafe food is generally not v impressive. We loved the duck confit - the crispy skin was so well done! The kombu truffle fries are really good, I feel it's nicer than PS cafe's. The seafood risotto is nicely flavoured. However, definitely on the pricey side. Coffee was so so, can skip. Milk shake was too overpriced at 10. Will make a visit again back soon!

    Good neighbourhood restaurant. The pasta dishes never disappoint. The pesto prawn and tomato sausage was really. The wagyu beef burger was a also juicy with the right doneness. The mushroom risotto was flavourful, not too much cheese, I suppose it depends if you like more cheese in yours. Service was simple and organised. Nothing fancy. There are indoor and outdoor seats and I noticed that some customers bring their dogs too when they dine there.

    food was not bad, but very pricey. Each dish was $30+ after gst service charge. I enjoyed my crab linguine. The truffle mushroom pasta tasted just of mushroom cream (not to my liking as it was too creamy and not tasty enough). The chicken burger was alright, really big portion!

    Pasta is worth every penny spent! We ordered bolognese and crab meat pasta, both tasted fantastic with a unique and balanced taste. Quality food and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back to try other pasta on the menu. Ambience is nice and service is great, the food came really fast

    The taste of both the braised beef cheeks and crab meat linguine were incredible, and I would've given a 5 star review if it wasn't for the disappointing portion size of the braised beef cheeks. The mint mojito and white grape oolong were nothing special as well. Will still come back for the incredible food though.

    Food was pretty good. Oysters were fresh and the burrata was creamy and delicious. Had the pesto basil prawn pasta and the creamy bacon with their homemade tagliatelle. Both were great! Especially the pesto pasta

    First time here at Eleven Strands and the food was delicious! The truffle fries are full of truffles and fries were crispy 😋 The beef patty in the Wagyu Patty Sausage was super delicious but the crossiant and sausage didn't taste that great 😢 The Prawn Basil Pesto Pasta was nicely cook and you can taste the nuttiness 💯 Mushroom Risotto was alright, it would be better if it was creamier! Overall, a nice place for a delicious meal! ☺️

    Ordered the Truffle Mushroom Cream Pasta.. it was good and the portion was huge + super heavily creamy… difficult for 1 person to finish all of it. But very generous with their mushrooms and I like that there was an egg to mix in too. Had the truffle kombu fries too which was great.

    The Bolognese was good and rich that just blends well together with the meat. Had the Sticky Date pudding which was moist but the sauce was a little too thick. The Sunkiss drink was alright too. Although it’s pricey, I think its good overall.

  • 5/5 Shi Song G. 9 months ago on Google
    I've been to Eleven Strands on a couple of occasions, and I must say, it was a delightful experience overall! The highlights of my visit were the mouthwatering truffle fries, delectable crab pasta, and an indulgent dessert that left me craving for more. The staff at Eleven Strands were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were quick to assist and made sure I felt welcome throughout my meal. Despite the slightly echoey atmosphere and the noise that can arise when the place gets busy, the wholesome food made up for it. I would strongly recommend making a reservation as this will ensure a more relaxed dining experience without any unnecessary waiting.

  • 5/5 Jacelyn Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the braised beef cheeks and BBQ pork ribs. Enjoyed the French apple tart too. Service is quick and attentive, ambience is good too. Gets crowded for Sunday dinner, recommend going early or making a reservation.

    Delicious, varied menu. We've been here the times and tried something new each time, wonderful every time. The staff is fast, helpful, and friendly. There's also brunch option on weekends. Dog friendly if seated outside as well.

  • 3/5 Zane 9 months ago on Google
    I must have come at a bad time. The service staffs were unprofessional and you probably needed to pay for a smile. My order was served with an expectation that I knew what’s put in front of me without the staff telling me and i felt that I was being chased away when the staff announced that they were closing. I guessed the 10% service charge was just for the complimentary jug of water served. There a QR code ordering and payment system available. Well, the pastas were delicious though. The Frutti Di Mare had a savoury sweet tomato base sauce and a nice potion of seafoods. The lava cake was also rich and satisfying. That might be the reason for the more expensive charges.

  • 4/5 Andrew T. 1 year ago on Google
    Reasonably good food. Like the truffle fries. Pasta was nice. The beef cheek sitted on generous serving of mashed potato and topping of mushrooms, was a little too cooked (like pulled pork) to my liking. A good place for weekend family outing, but can be noisy.

  • 5/5 Zenn W. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious pasta, got the handmade tagliatelle in my vongole and it was bouncy and had a good texture. The broth was so good, thick with flavour without being overpowering. The truffle cream pasta was fragrant and had a strong truffle scent. Generous amounts of mushrooms and clams in the respective pastas. Service sizes were huge though, almost reminded me of suburban America sizes. While I comfortably finished the whole plate, I would personally prefer a smaller plate at a lower price. The burrata had a nice, springy texture but we wished it was sweeter though.

  • 2/5 Justin C. 5 months ago on Google
    ok the truffle mushroom pasta is NICE BUT the squid ink pasta and the mushroom risotto are RUBBISH the squid ink pasta tastes like tomato marinara sauce. it looks black right but it tastes nothing like squid ink. but ok to be fair i think after a while the taste is okay but its just not squid ink the mushroom risotto tastes very asparagusy and vegetably and its not creamy like i would expect. i think this is the worst dish here VISIT 2 not so bad la with a burpple deal but still kinda meh. also they were kinda scammer with the burpple deal ok i ordered one 23, 25, 26, 27 and they give me free 23 and 25 which doesnt make sense ok but anyway

  • 2/5 Michelle P. 1 year ago on Google
    The French onion soup is quite watery n the cheese is in the toast instead of soup. Really can skip ordering this For the duck confit, the skin is quite crispy but overall I find the taste average n it gets too heavy halfway through the meal Also ordered the steak but the exterior was so charred Not sure the good reviews as I find taste off for all dishes. The only nice thing I find it’s the truffle fries but it’s a little oily at the end. Don’t recommend

  • 4/5 Grate F. 8 months ago on Google
    Food is good, not overcooked and they have unique flavour and taste. It's also very well presented. Desserts are temptations too, must try. Service is good, staff are attentive and provided necessary cutleries. Tried both indoor and outdoor sitting. Grateful that we're allowed to dine-in with our furkiddo outdoor. But there's only 2 tables for pet owners. A bit costly but it's something good to try.

  • 5/5 Travis T. 7 months ago on Google
    Came here for some brunch and wasn’t disappointed. Used the burpple app so we had 1 for 1s so it made it quite value as the portions were pretty big. The croissants were so crunchy and was the bomb. Had the wagyu patty and sausage and tho the wagyu was well done (i didn’t specify a doneness) it was quite tasty. Bacon strips might have been a little burnt tho, but overall value for money with burpple!

  • 4/5 Nat T. 2 years ago on Google
    Found this cafe to chill as I wait for my next appointment, and their Apple Tart certainly does not disappoint! The crisp was mildly charred and the apple cinnamon fillings had a good balance of sweet and sour. Together with the vanilla ice cream and almond flakes, the experience eating this dessert was delightful!

  • 5/5 Kendrick W. 4 months ago on Google
    A good restaurant tucked in the distributary road off Yio Chu Kang. Parking can be found on opposite side of the road - in Serangoon Stadium. Ordered seafood risotto and crab meat in tomato sauce. Risotto was good, sauce was thick and on the sweeter side. Crab meat pasta was good, sauce was much lighter. The lemon tea was pretty good.

🫤 Super expensive. Knew this stall nasi lemark is very expensive. But this time is far too much. No matter how I calculated with the price they put up I still cannot tally the amt they charge. Ask them, so rude and ignore me. This will be the last time I go n buy. Will blacklist this stall.
