Had our lunch buffet here and it was so awesome! We ordered the salad, cauliflower, meatballs, seafood stew and asari clams linguini. The staff were cheerful and we really enjoyed our meal here. Coffee was great too! We'll be back to try the rest of the food 😁

Had a delightful brunch with an amazing team, especially Nicole and JD. This gem is a repeat for me, and I've even brought other friends. Enjoyed both their quality food and cocktails. Highly recommend this place!

Modern Asian-European fusion dishes worth trying 🥹🫶✨ Paid a visit to this award-winning cocktail bar and restaurant 🥂 Helmed by Chef Kenneth Oh (World Gourmet Summit Singapore Rising Chef), the food at @tessbarsg doesn’t disappoint! 🏆 We tried… 🌟 𝗢𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼 ($𝟮𝟴) Served with shaved truffle and parmesan, this dish is a MUST TRY 🤌 The pasta perfectly captures the kale pesto sauce, delivering a burst of flavour in every bite. My only complaint? I wished there was more 🥹 🌟 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 ($𝟯𝟭) Breaking into the poached egg 🍳 the rich yolk melds with crispy guanciale and creamy pecorino sabayon creating a symphony of flavour. But if I’d to choose, I would still go for the orecchiette 🤭 🌟 𝗣𝗮𝗻-𝗥𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 ($𝟭𝟴) Also ordered the cauliflower side. Sprinkled with crispy bits and cashews, this is served with miso cheese sauce and garden herbs 🪴🥦 Overall, we enjoyed the food! Don’t miss out the orecchiette 💫 Only gripe is that the portions are slightly smaller If you’re a big eater, you might want to consider 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝘁. This comes with unlimited servings of food and non-alcoholic beverages (2.5h time limit). The ala carte buffet is priced at $62++ and you get to savour a variety of enticing dishes! 📸 Instagram/TikTok: @myfoodframes

What food, what a chill place! Great ambience, if a tad cold, great music, great food. The lamb short ribs were superb, tender enough to use a spoon, crusty skin, lovely fat layer. While everything is good, the lamb is die die must try. Had two servings! The camembert and garlic bread is also a stand out.

Great service, drinks offering, and eats. The items were priced much better than expected compared to other similar places and given that the location is on Seah St. I would definitely come here again. I liked all the dishes we ordered.

Loved the food and the service and the cocktails. Atmosphere was a little noisy.... after awhile, It gets a bit much. Most like cause the decor is industrial so sound reverberates.... maybe some additional tapestries or pillows to soften the din. Apart from that food is lovely! Every dish was on point

Made reservations for 4 pax on the day itself. Process was fuss-free and replies were prompt! Ordered the pork jowl linguine (a little salty for my liking), seafood stew, fried chips (this is mid, but maybe just cause I’m not a potato fan), fried calamari (well-fried, batter was nice), and roasted cauliflower. Food was yummy, and size was decent! Dishes that stood out to me were definitely the seafood stew (the bread with the stew is soooo good!) and cauliflower. For drinks, we ordered: apple beer (n/a), chai melon (n/a), singapore sling, nara 75, espresso martini. Espresso martini and chai melon are my top picks! Although the bgm was a little loud and it was difficult to have conversations at times, the overall ambience was still nice, and we were served by a very friendly waitress (didn’t manage to get her name). If I have to pick on something… I was a little surprised when another waitress started clearing the drinks on our tables without asking. Thankfully we were done with our drinks, but I just thought it’d be good practice to ask patrons first before clearing. Would highly recommend to my friends and come back again 😊

Had an amazing time at Tess! Many alcohol selection with unique cocktails. We were there to try most their cocktails, and none of them disappoint us! Definitely a place to bring friends to try all their finger foods! Food portion were big for its price point. Oyster were big and fresh. Superb time for the 2 of us. ☺️

My favorite bar in bugis. I love the food, it's fantastic. The take away is good enough, but I would recommend it even more to eat it fresh in the restaurant. All the staff are friendly.

The food here was incredible. I really enjoyed every single item that we ordered. We had the Caesar salad, which was a simple and perfect blend of fresh ingredients - I especially loved the touch of quail egg in the salad! The seafood stew was so delicious! There was a nice smokiness about it too and the mash of ingredients in the sauce made it extremely appetising! I couldn’t stop eating the sauce even after finishing all the seafood! But the most impressive dish for me was the oven baked bone marrow! There are some truffles, bits of meat, caramelised onions on the marrow and they pair perfectly well with the yummy bread that’s served with it! Can’t wait to come back and try more food! Definitely one of my better food experiences recently! Service and ambience were great too!

Hosted our wedding lunch party at Tess in November. It was all that we could ask for and more. ❤️ Special shout out to Peirong, the bar manager, who was accommodating to all of our ridiculous requests, and went out of her way to make sure the day ran smoothly. Christyne, the head bartender, together with the rest of the crew were amazing as well. Food wise, all our guests had raving reviews about them. Our mains included the pork jowl linguine, lamb short rib, Norwegian salmon and the duck confit. They were all amazing. Our personal favourites were the lamb short ribs, the oysters and the crackling pork belly. The pork jowl linguine was yummy too. Portions were on the bigger side. We want to thank Tess for letting us host our wedding there and also to letting us decor the place. It was a magical experience. Best decision ever.

If you have been in Singapore for a while and haven’t heard or been to this place, you probably have not explored enough cocktail joints! One of the most well known places for a good fancy cocktail and especially well known for their well curated food menu, always a good time for a meal and drinks!

Tess Bar is an if you know, you know kind of establishment, but there sure are a lot of folks who know about this place. And it’s all for a good reasons. We visited on Christmas and we were given a booklet of featured cocktails, including award winning ones. We started light with refreshing Naka 75 and Gold Rush, paired with Wagyu Beef starter and King Prawn Risotto main. The wagyu beef was a fantastic appetiser and the risotto was superb, with very fresh, succulent, sweet prawn. Then it crescendoes when we ordered our second and third drink. We decided to go with something heavier, a regular old fashioned and their award winning Brown Grouse Old Fashioned. While their regular old fashioned has no fault, the Brown Grouse Old Fashioned was on another level. It was a perfect blend of smokey on the nose, with chocolate bitters and roasted almond note that perfumes the drink like a premium coffee bean does, leaving just a hint of sherry at the end. Paired with the Baked Camembert, it left our dining experience on a high note. Thank you to the team at Tess Bar who were all working extra hard even on Christmas Day!

I love love love Tess. A great selection of food and drink. Everything I’ve been served has been delicious. Special mention: The chips in particular are possibly one of the best I’ve had in town. Service is also quick and attentive. I’ve been back so many times over the years and will continue to come back. Perfect for friends, family, dates, etc. Make a reso cos it can get busy especially on the weekend.

Long Review Alert! 😂 A friend of ours who enjoys the art of cocktail mixing and is highly knowledgeable in that took us here. So, when it comes as a recommendation from him the expectations were high! Drinks were amazing, tried different styles of cocktails and enjoyed a lot most of them. Food was decent portions, I quite enjoyed the vegetarian options. The atmosphere is cozy, and decor is nice! However, a perfectly fun night was interrupted by an extremely rude behavior from one of the temp staff (we were told she is temp later). Our friend went to the bar to chat with the bartender on some of the drinks when the ladies were away and apparently, he placed his elbow on this girl's laptop inadvertently. Then she went full on crazy towards our friend, acting pompous making a scene about how he invaded her space. A bit later, she was seen hugging few staff while complaining and stomping out from the place in all high and mighty. We were watching the entire situation from our table and couldn't believe our eyes or what was happening. Our friend was nice enough and didn't react in any way but the rest of us had to. The rest of the staff eventually apologized and brought some shots as an apology, but to be fair that is not enough. He didn't destroy anything or hurt anyone, and it certainly wasn't on purpose and yet the level of rudeness and tantrum was unnecessary! P.S. I rarely share stories like this let alone in a review, but this was way beyond ridiculous!

Very poor choice if you're looking for delivery. Food came more than half an hour early when nobody was at home. By the time we could eat it it was cold and borderline inedible. But that's not what I'm writing this review for; I understand the difficulties restaurants face with deliveries. I'm writing this review because I emailed them multiple times for a response but I never received so much as an acknowledgement, much less an apology, despite multiple follow-ups. So anyone considering delivery from this place, just know that you'll receive zero support or service should anything go wrong.

Went there by chance on a Wednesday after work and really enjoyed their Martini happy hour. Creative drinks, well executed and refreshing :)

I usually come here for dinner and drinks. But brunch here is SO GOOD too. Had the warm salad (which I didn’t manage to take photos cuz all I thought of was just to eat it) Lamb ribs with pomegranate is good too!

The only miss was the pork. And staff were quick to take it off the bill which I appreciate. Picked Tess Bar for the cocktails and not disappointed. Fact that it’s my first visit, overall experience is 10/10.

A good place for drinks lover as it offers a wide range of alcoholic drinks. Good variety of food with great taste. Staff are attentive. Typical bar deco and atmosphere. A great place for dinner after work and catching up with friends over dinner.

First time here and it may already be my favourite bar! We had the pork jowl linguine, sea bass, pork belly (small plate) and le prince cocktail. Everything was delicious! The service was also warm and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Book through online reservation a week ago but their app couldn’t show anything, but friendly staff manage to get us lovely seat to enjoy our dinner. Missed out the happy hour time for their cocktails 😌 the pork jowl linguine a little bit salty otherwise all food are good , nice cosy ambience.

We had brunch buffet here, all good for both food and drink. The portion is quite big so do aware for food waste policy. The cocktails look nice, will try next visit.

Lunch buffet was awesome & is of great value! $52/pax for all-you-can-eat buffet, including non-alcoholic drinks like lattes, teas, and coolers. Favourites: fried calamari, mushroom soup with truffle oil, roasted cauliflower, asari clams pasta! Service is prompt and staff are very friendly and helpful.

I came with a group of 6 and as they weren’t big eaters we did not opt to have the buffet. We still ordered a few dishes to share but had each had our own mains. I probably made a very poor decision and this affected my rating. I went for the duck confit dish without reading all that much although I did a lot scrambled eggs as part of the dish. I didn’t think all that much and when I received the dish I wasn’t sure what I was having. It felt like a chicken and waffle dish but with duck. The duck while crispy on the outside was pretty dry and tough as I dug further into the meat. The waffle was extremely tough, nothing I’ve ever had and definitely not how I like my waffle. Needless to say, I felt very letdown by this which was my main. It didn’t help that my friends ordered the beef cheeks and it looked so good. I did enjoy the sides especially the pork ribs. The sauces that were provided with the sides were also unique and commendable instead of the standard tomato chilli mayo sort of condiments. The cocktails were also well priced, although the portions are small and not the most aesthetic in terms of presentation. All in all, I would still want to come back and try the buffet sometime.

Went on 01.09.2023 for brunch Finally tried their Boozy Brunch Buffet, that came with free-flow cocktails/beers/wines on top of unlimited servings of brunch food items/small plates/desserts for a time limit of 2.5 hours 🤤 (priced at S$98++ per pax) Food quality was top-notch 😋 ▪️Slow-cooked Angus Beef Cheek Beef was tender and flavourful. Onsen egg (instead of poached egg that's stated in the menu) was done nicely. Creamy mash was smooth. Broccolini was fresh with a nice crunch and slightly salty taste. ▪️Broiled Mentaiko Salmon Salmon was slightly dry at the ends but generally done well, topped with generous serving of mentaiko and tobiko. Smoked mash, edamame and drizzles (olive oil and balsamic vinegar?) matched the salmon nicely. ▪️Cioppino Seafood Stew Tomato broth was addictive but not too overwhelming, and dipping the garlic toast in it brought out the flavours even more. Seafood was fresh. ▪️Glazed Spring Lamb Shoulder The lamb did have some gaminess, but the sauce and pomegranate bits managed to cover it up nicely. Meat was tender too with decent amount of fats. Onion mash was smooth. Kale was fresh. ▪️Tess Warm Salad Generous serving of walnuts, kale and baby corn, accompanied by toasted butternut squash, cherry tomatoes and dijon dressing. Delicious! ▪️Caesar Salad Baby romaine came with lotsa crispy bacon bits, quail eggs and sourdough croutons, matched with smoky anchovy dressing. ▪️Double Fried Chunk Chips with Truffle Aioli Really chunky chips that were fried well. Truffle aioli was yummy, but perhaps can do without the chopped spring onions (my personal preference). ▪️Grilled Lamb Short Ribs Similar to the lamb shoulder, the meat did have some gaminess but was covered up by the pomegranate bits and sauce. ▪️Pan Roasted Cauliflower This came as a big whole roasted cauliflower with miso cheese sauce, cashews and anchovy crumbs. Better to be shared with more pax. ▪️Oven Baked Camembert Love the truffle paste in between the baked camembert. Garlic toast better to be eaten warm, as the sides became slightly hard when left for awhile. ▪️Dark Chocolate Lava Cake Normal standard for the lava cake served with icecream. ▪️Almond Parfait Portion was bigger than what I expected, and came with lotsa honeycomb and raspberry coulis. Yummy! Cocktails were decent 🍸 We tried almost all the cocktails available in the buffet menu, and they were all quite good. Service was mediocre 🙃 Not exactly welcoming, and made us feel awkward for ordering more food items when it was supposed to be a buffet. Except for a staff named Peirong, the only genuinely nice and sincere one around. Ambience was cosy ⛅️ If not considering the loud group of patrons present that day, plus a bartender that kept throwing/slamming things around or into the sink throughout, making loud noises that were very apparent when sat next to the bar counter. Will I go back again? 🤔 I probably will, solely for the food and free-flow cocktails coz it was still worth the amount paid. And I will choose a table further away from the bar counter 🙃

Had an enjoyable brunch at Tess with my friend. Definitely come with an empty stomach as the food is standard size and they are yummy. Our server is very friendly and knowledgeable about each dish as she has been with a restaurant for a long time. The ingredients and taste, the amount of food, and also because my friend has a good appetite, we were able to enjoy 8 dishes, 2 desserts and multiple drinks, which gives a positive perception of good cost performance. Went on a Friday and there was not much crowd, which gave a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Food was great, especially the Pork Jowl Linguine, Pork Crackling and Oysters! Didnt take pics of all food but it was a great place to have a girls night out! Interesting selection of cocktails as well! It’s a little pricey because of drinks but will visit again!

i have come here quite often, either with friends or family. this has been my go-to spot to catch up with my friends or to have a relaxing evening with my family. the food has always been consistently good, especially the angus beef tagliatelle and seabass. the starters, sides and mains never disappoint me. the staff have always been friendly and helpful. the ambience has also always been good. will be coming more in the foreseeable future.

Relatively hidden gem tucked away in between other shop houses but unmistakably beautiful and unique when you step in. Came here with a friend for their brunch buffet and it is absolutely worth it. For the price point and the wide selection it almost felt like a steal. But that doesnt diminish the food quality at all. The star of the show has to be the roasted pork belly. Crispy and fatty without the meat being dry unlike its other contemporaries. Their lamb shanks were absolutely amazing as well, fall of the bone tender with an unctuous, lightly gamey sauce. I'm already finding a day I can go back with a couple more friends to try their whole menu:)

Very good cocktails here. I tried: 1. Brown Grouse Old-Fashioned (award winning cocktail created by the bartender herself) 2. Boulevardier Sourz 3. Earl Grey Negroni Food recommendation: 1. Yellowfin Tuna Tataki 2. Sakura Ebi Capellini - although I am allergic to prawn, I was slurping the pasta happily without worrying the consequences.

Had previously been to Tess mainly for drinks. Tried their food menu this time and what we had wasn't half bad. When the group got served that entire head of cauliflower, that became a great conversation piece. Definitely would come back for food and drinks.

Had a enjoyable experience, overall atmosphere and service was great. The only feedback I would say is the the food, the prawn wasn’t really as fresh and the crackling pork was just ok. I would still return, hopefully the food will be better the next time.

Tess bar and kitchen offers a weekend alecarte brunch with items well priced. Portions are not huge but great for sharing. You can also opt in for the all you can eat option for $48++ inclusive of non-alcoholic drinks. There is a option for free flow alcohol too which is a great option. Else the drinks are also well priced under between $10-$15. Definitely worth coming back and having a lazy decadent lunch. The lamb ribs are a winner!

This is a lovely find. The food was excellent especially the bone marrow, truffle mushroom risotto and the warm salad. The service was top notch which is a such a rarity in Singapore. They were very welcoming of a dietary restriction (my partner is a vegetarian) which bowled us over 👍

Deep fried chicken skin with kimchi ketchup!

Great cocktails at happy hour price! Love the food here too especially the Oven Baked Camembert. Meatballs were surprisingly good as well! They have pretty decent wines too.

Pretty impressive dining experience! First of all, love the HH cocktail spread, sophisticated yet at a good price. Wine & beer selections are available too. HH till 7pm. Food wise, definitely beyond my initial expectation, love the tapas style starters. Highly recommend roasted miso cheese Cauliflower and Lamb short ribs (insane!! our fav).

Brought my brother here for his birthday and he was super happy (and full) after the late lunch buffet. Honestly everything we ordered was just delicious; the deep fried calamari and zucchini was well seasoned and delightfully crispy, the angus beef meatballs was juicy and flavorful, the angus beef cheek was fall-off-the-fork tender and perfectly complemented by the creamy mash and poached egg. My brother practically inhaled the grilled lamb short ribs and was raving about them and the mentaiko salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. A testament to a teenage boy’s appetite, we managed to order the truffle Alfredo pasta which was a large plate of delicious umami flavors. I was honestly beyond stuffed by then but we rallied ourselves and my brother ordered not one but, two desserts; tiramisu and dark chocolate lava cake. Both were good but my brother loved the tiramisu. Service was great and friendly, and we didn’t wait long for the food to be served. For the prices we paid and the amount and quality of food we got, we’d definitely be back again.

One of the OG bars that requires a reservation to get a seat. The service is very good here and the staff are very attentive. We had cocktails, mock tails and a lot of food. All the food was good but the lamb ribs were a standout. The fat was charred and just really next level. Can understand why this place is so packed. Good food, good drinks and good service.

First time here, very nice place to chill! They have happy hour cocktails and wine at $12 which was quite worth it. Staff are very friendly and nice! The chips are a must try! Recommend the hibiscus cocktail. They also have brunch buffet going at $52++ might be back to try!

Amazing food and generous portion!! Just look at their asari clams linguine- we were so satisfied and happy with the amount of clams given! Their pan roasted cauliflower was another star dish as well as their mushroom risotto! All the food did not disappoint! We will definitely be back to try more!

Cosy, friendly ambience. Staff service is good and food is delicious. They have happy hour from 12 to 7pm, both of my cocktails (Bell’s Knee and Earl Grey Hibiscus at $12/glass) are great.

Great food, price is reasonable. Oyster is great and fat, fish is fresh and not fishy, pork belly is kinda dry but the matching sauce balance the taste. Dessert is nice but too sweet. After taste is slightly too much.

Great service! Great food! Staffs are so attentive and warm. Made sure we were comfortable. I will definitely come back and visit this place. Service is definitely something to shout about n of course their food and drinks! Great prices too! Strongly recommend their bone marrow and chips!

I recently visited this bottomless brunch spot and I have to say, it was one of the best experiences I've had. The cocktails were absolutely amazing and the food was delicious - I couldn't get enough! Considering the quality of the drinks and food, the price is more than worth it. I am already planning my next visit and can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a new brunch spot, this is definitely the one to check out. Highly recommend!

We went there after read its high rating and it worth to try. Food is very nice, the pork belly is super tasty, almost the best have ever tried in Singapore. All food are in small portion, so we ordered 4 dishes for two. The only thing is the bar is not as big as showed on picture, and pretty crowded inside, you have to chat in low voices as the neighbor is less than an elbow away. No music in the weekdays so very quite inside. Maybe it'll be more music or vibrant in the weekend?

Haven't tried their food, so I'm only rating them on their drinks & they are so delicious! Saw many tables having meals & the food looks good. Definitely a place to come for their drinks! Will want to try their food & I love the ambience...nice place to chill even alone.

Had the brunch buffet and it was nothing short of fantastic! Every dish was executed so well and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. Highlights include the pork jowl linguine, orecchiette pasta with kale pesto, calamari, lamb short ribs and the grilled kurobuto pork sausage. There was also a special of the week roast beef dish that was absolutely delicious! Service is wonderful with friendly and enthusiastic staff. Been back three times and we’re already planning our next visit!

Love the grilled lamb and baked cauliflower. Many good dishes worth trying - ideally with 3-4 pax. Whisky-based cocktails are my favourite, other signatures / gin based are too sweet / light to my liking. Place is cozy but can be noisy depending on the seating. My peace and enjoyment was disturbed by a big group who were loud speakers. Assistant manager Andy is very friendly and offers good advices on menu.

1st visit and will not be our last! We came for the bottomless brunch, didn't know what to expect for the price, but wow, it was amazing! The food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic. You can choose from the main menu as much food and drinks in to alloted time. Can't wait to come back, one of the best value brunches in Singapore.

The best bar ever! Cocktails here are so perfect and so are the fries and fried calamari! The atmosphere is also chilling. This will be a great place for an enjoying night!

Solid drinks, awesome food and service. Nice music and value for money. My go to bar!

Been there at least 4 times now, in a span of 2 months. Prices are slightly in the high side, but taste always doesn't disappoint. Great service as well.

Super nice lamb rib, pork, and chocolate lava. Best of all time. And nice staff as well!

The Brunch Buffet is supremely good. Usually, the buffet portions are made smaller than the Ala carte portions in restaurants like this, but the portions we had today is really generous. Most, if not all of the food is very well done. Quality is high and is definitely worth spending your brunch hours here. The alcohol is great as well, with lots of fancy cocktails and high quality wine. I took the non-alcoholic brunch buffet and the coffee is also really wonderful. BRB. Gonna pass out in a food coma soon.

Had the pork belly, fish collar and mushroom risotto. Ah yes, it was so delicious I could feel my cholesterol levels rising up especially with every bite of the crispy pork belly. Cocktail choices was very extensive and the concoctions were out of this world. Service staff was friendly and very helpful, ambience was lovely and I'd definitely visit again!

We had ordered from Tess Bar & Kitchen a few times during the circuit breaker. Their delivery fee was reasonable compared to many of the other restaurants. Each time we ordered, we were always happy with the quality (& quantity) of the food, and so far we have tried most of the items on the menu, but my favourite go to is the orrechiette, which is yummy and comforting. We finally went to Tess on a Wednesday night. For some reason, trying to make reservations by telephone did not work, but an email to them was responded to very promptly. Although we arrived to the restaurant an hour early, our table had already been marked out and reserved for us and the staff were welcoming and flexible. A young guy (whose name I didn't catch, apologies) had been serving us, and he was one of the most polite and professional wait staff i've encountered. In fact, all the wait staff we encountered that night were friendly and courteous. And come the best part of the night, I ordered 3 drinks, the Yuzu Thyme and the Cherry Cacao twice. Both were really yummy, but the cherry cacao in particular, reminded me of my favourite cadbury chocolate bar, cherry ripe. And so, having finally found my favourite drink in Singapore, i'm looking forward to the next time I get to go to Tess again. oh, side note though, the bar stools were really hard and a tad bit uncomfortable to sit on with the hole design thing going on. But small issue and I definitely have enough cushioning of my own.

Truly happy food for the soul. The service was top notch too. Highly recommend the roasted pork and calamari. Delish!

Excellent lamb shoulder - both the quality of the meat (fresh, meaty, tender, juicy) and the nicely combined flavours that went well with the lamb. The minestrone soup of the day was packed with vegetables but wasn’t as outstanding as the lamb. The flat white wasn’t as good as it used to be when they used Papa Palheta beans - now at best average.

Tess bar... Wow truly an amazing place. Good ambience. Place is chill. Staff are really friendly. Food is super amazing. A really underrated place. The pork belly is really wow 👍 worth to be unhealthy for. Cool place for chilling with your friends 👌 Chco Lava cake is really awesome too... Have a look at the pics...

Best boozy brunch deal in Singapore. You get to order from nearly their entire regular menu, drinks include martinis and even spirits, service is great (Peirong and her team are always so welcoming), and it's 3 hours AYCE. Check this spot out!

Nice cocktails and food

Great place with good food. A little pricey but the good customer service makes up for it.

Great happy hour prices and very pleased with the food !

Amazing food, amazing services ! I strongly recommend :) especially Rain very good service

Lobster risotto is great for cheesy lovers. Spices were used generously in the pizza and Angus meatballs

Honestly the place has so much potential.. evident by the crowd outside. But as someone who doesn't smoke it was quite a turn off to sit indoors and have to smell the cigarette smoke way inside at our table because they just kept the door open and smoke was drifting in ... Making the place smell like a cheap bar But the drinks were okay for the price and service was good

Really great food, service and ambiance. The bottomless brunch is fantastic value (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Would highly recommend.

Lovely risotto with truffle. The chef is really talented and thanks for the nice food!

Hi, today is 2020 New Year's Eve and we had a glorious meal from Tess. Knowing there would be a mad rush for food on NYE, we ordered about 2 weeks before. We had beef, pork, lamb chops, seafood, lasagne and veg. It was a fantastically simple yet incredibly tasty meal which words find it hard to describe but try to describe it I must, the crunch of the top layer of lasagne down to the creamy sauce it was awesome, I must admit to having a weakness for lasagne, anyway enjoy the pictures.

Great food and service. Our brunch at Tess is the highlight of our Xmas this year. Their service is impeccable giving us their full attention all the time.

Was looking for somewhere to eat & chill at 9pm when we walk pass Tess Bar...Settled in by a very friendly female staff who promptly serve us 2 cups of ice water while she walk us through the menu and introducing some of the recommended dishes. Went ahead with some of the recommendations and yes indeed the truffle chips, crackling pork belly and the pork jowl linguini was absolutely delicious. We had no expectations when we pass by but turn out to be blown away by a very pleasant dinner & good table service. Will definitely return soon.

Best bar in town. Life changing experience. Great service, cocktails and ambience. 👍🏼

The best bar I have ever been to. Life changing experience

Perfect place to chill out!

Nice ambience, food are v delicious. Were here with my bf celebrating our anniversary. To our surprise, the staff brought us a complimentary pastry which was v yummy too. Thank you tess bar & kitchen for making our anniversary such a memorable one.

We came here for cocktails. Yet the food surprised us. They offered the biggest oysters I had in sg. Focaccia pizza is quite special which is bread-based. Do remember to check the rating when ordering the cocktails, they are rated for a good reason. Don't order Rosé, not nice at all. Will come back to try more food and cocktails for sure.

Food very good, cocktail through the roof, amazing and friendly staff!

Quality food and drinks -- enjoyed the martinis and will definitely be back :)

Very friendly staff, only had cocktails but was it world class! Will definitely be back to try the food!!

Super cozy and friendly environment. Great place to relax and talk to friends!

Drinks were fantastic, recommend the award-winning cocktails. The food was aaaight, maybe it’s just my expectations.

I'm once again back at this place. And this time I tried the lunch martini buffet. It is so worth it. The martinis are indeed well crafted with balanced and unique flavours. I love their lychee grapefruit as well as honey umeshu flavours. I ordered a camembert and wow they gave half a friggin wheel of the cheese. Their minestrone soup tastes very wholesome with lots of veges and chick peas. The seafood stew was nice and adequately thick though I wasn't really full on it. 10/10 recommend to check this place out. Hopefully Tess bar stays like that forever

(Translated by Google) Food and cocktails are also very satisfying. Good for a weekend evening mood. The service is also very good. I accidentally spilled my cocktail and made me a new one. Impressive service! Awesome and friendly staffs.👏 (Original) 음식도 칵테일도 너무 만족스럽습니다. 주말 저녁 분위기 내기 좋아요. 서비스도 너무 좋아요. 실수로 칵테일을 엎질렀는데 새로 만들어 주셨어요. Impressive service! Awesome and friendly staffs.👏

Wonderful service, good food, creative cocktail

The best Martinis I have ever had. Including a truffle Martini 😍

Great tasting cocktails and food. The roasted pork is a must try.

Lovely ambience with good food and drinks. Vegetarian-friendly and pan roasted cauliflower is a must-try

Reminds me of NYC bars. Incredible cocktails and superb tapas

For the price I cant believe they have great food, ambience and service!!!

Generous portions, especially the Pan Roasted Cauliflower. Quite a nice rendition of this vegetable. Lobster Tagliatelle with kombu butter sauce is good for sharing as it may get a bit heavy and if you ordered the cheesy cauliflower too. We  came before 7pm just in time before happy hour end. Each person is entitled to additional 1 drink on hold on happy hour prices, think this is a very good gesture on the restaurant. Will prefer a slightly brighter ambience and it is rather funny at 1030pm where they suddenly up the brightness of the lights announcing closure. Much like credits rolling haha..

Finally made a visit after reading rave reviews from friends on Instagram. Must say that the food did not disappoint. I thought everything was delicious, well-balanced in flavour. My partner felt the Angus beef tagliatelle was a little under-salted, but I found it perfect for me. We loved the seafood stew! Wished there was more bread to mop up the stew with. He also had the cocktail, Snorkeling in Boracay, which I took a sip of (am allergic to alcohol hahaha) and it was delicious). The crispy chicken skin was a pleaser, fun to eat, although I am not a Kimchi nor ketchup fan. Should have alternative dips, please!

Great food in a very cosy atmosphere. The steak and the lava cake were the highlight of our meal, but all dishes were prepared with care. The wine list is more than decent too! Perfect for a date night - I have been trying to book a table for a while and we ended up just walking in. Haven’t tried their cocktails, but the menu looks great. Will come back for sure.

Came here for lunch + free flow cocktails. Place is tucked in a small street; you definitely have to book a table if you wanna eat here. Foods are amazing. I enjoyed the beef cheek, lamb short ribs and oven baked camembert. Staffs are approachable and friendly. Overall, great place for brunch.

Great place to kick back and relax for a meal after a long day. Love the dim lighting and how quiet it is inside with just faint music in the background. Food is 5/5. We ordered the Crispy Pork Belly, Fried Calamari, Pork Jowl Linguine, and the Tess Warm Salad that was a real pleasant surprise.

Can't speak highly enough of Tess Bar, great food, cocktails and service! Visited for Brunch and Dinner, both times a really good experience. Pork Belly is a must try 👌

Cozy and very relaxed place to chill with friends! Food are delicious and staff very friendly and helpful too! Will re-visit again! 🥰

Pei Rong was exceptional! Food was good, drinks were great. We went for the brunch buffet and it was beyond expectations!!!! THANK YOU MOFO

Good ambience bar. Beef ragu is awesome but pasta is undercooked and under-salted. Seafood stew is awesome. Nothing special actually.

Excellent place to chill and good is good too. The Calamari is very good and so is the Garlic bread with cheese. We were served by Pei Rong who was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back again.

We booked a table on 22nd August. I have been there here before 2 times cuz of my friend liked it. Their service never been amazing. Just so so. Foods so so. It is just convenient to come down from Naumi hotel. I had reservation confirmation email. I booked at 12:15. They can wait until 12:30 as per their email. We reached at 12:30. The staff saw us, she seemed busy. So we wait awhile. She never came back. We walked in and said we have reservation at 12:15, are we late ? She said there is no my name on the list. I showed her my confirmation email. She said I have no idea, I don’t do the planning. So what can we do ? She didn’t seem care much or feel bad. I said it is ok. She acted like she had no idea and this had nothing to do with her type of attitude. We walked out, one sec right after we left, I received email that they cancelled my reservation. I mean “WTF ?” They have no my name on it and they canceled me right in front of me. NEVER COMING BACK…..

Food is fantastic n drinks are nice. The staff Pei Rong is amazing as she is super approachable n able to recommend the suitable cocktails according to our liking. Very friendly as well. Highly recommend for a weekend drinking place! THANKS a lot Ms Pei Rong!

Nice food, attentive service

Great food (delivery) 2021-07-27 (gst not included) Pan Roasted Cauliflower $14 - Excellent. The cheesy sauce and baked cashews went wonderfully. The cauliflower was done to just the right texture. Will definitely order more of this in the future. Deep Fried Calamari & Zucchini $14 - The breading was still decent after delivery, however the calamari was very tough. Cioppino Seafood Stew $20 - Flavorful and came with great garlic bread. Angus Beef Tagliatelle $20 - Beef was very tender, like braised beef cheek. The pasta was rather average. Forest Mushroom Risotto $20 - The texture did not meet expectations, perhaps this is due to delivery. Delivery cost $10

Excellent food and cocktails, both for dine-in and takeout. Keep up the great food, drinks and service.

Was passing by at 21:3x for a cocktail only and they still took us in, all servers with very good attitude. Old fashioned cocktail was interesting with the sweet smoke!

The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Tuna is perfect, vague beef is great as well. Signature cocktails are very good! Overall, one of my favourite places in Singapore

Love the cocktails and the food! Go for the Baked Camembert with toast. Gets really busy too in the evenings so plan your visit as much as possible.

Tess Bar has won its place in my go-to places for sure. My first time was when I Took my girlfriend there for cocktail-making workshop 2 yrs ago. Revisited them just last month to celebrate my engagement to her. All in all, love the vibe there and the location is great too.!

Cosy place to relax for the weekend. Food is nice. I have Truffle Risotto, and my spouse had a Sakura Ebi pasta and we had the roasted pork belly.

The food is great! the menu items are a fusion of bar food + fine dining. A waitress on my second visit was also particularly helpful when she saw my mum struggling on the high chair. Thank you!

Delicious. Drinks were well made and the service was quick and efficient. Not too pricey as well. Great spot for a quick lunch. Looking forward to coming back for dinner sometime.

Legit the one of the better bars in Singapore. Considering the price + quality + ambiance = Tess Bar is TOP notch. Their oysters are affordable and incredibly fresh (HUGE TOO!) I’d recommend to try them. There are limited places in SG that doesn’t shortchange you and this place is one of em’. One perk is you get to watch Bartenders work their magic - it’s mesmerising 😍

Love this place and served quite amazing food and drinks. Lots of drinks to choose from and come before 7pm to enjoy some good deals on happy hour drinks.. wine have pretty good deal ! $10 per 150ml glass.. do order the crispy pork belly a must to try .. melting in your mouth and the skin is still crispy! The chicken Karaage is so so .. too dry inside to my liking . Prefer the more briny oyster instead ! Table is rather too small for us to order 4 dishes and served at one go. Do pace it that something restaurant needs to pay attention to in my view. Enjoyed the vibe here and great service !

Happy hour until 7pm! The bone marrow is too small ☹️

Good food and drinks(shots and cocktail) at tess bar! The shorts were nicely mixed and the toasted sugar on The lemon was a very good touch! Seafood gumbo is very after drinks food to warm your body..their thick cut fries is very unique and a must try.. The sliders are amazing but abit pricey for 2 slides but its super loaded with ingredients in their defence! Their deconstructed parfait is a nice and sweet ending to a wonderful meal and their location is very convenient too

Cocktail at Happy Hour is only $12 ! Moreover, these are their own specialty and can't be found elsewhere. Not the usual classic. Definitely 1 of the cheapest you can find in town area ! Cosy interior too.

Very generous portion of food with high quality, plus very decent price. Will definitely visit again.

The place quite good and they have a good cocktails map and food list, but the portions quiet small. Good vibes, good location, recommended for a dating. Friendly stuff. Good happy hours promotion.

Not really a place that would give you value for money but they have a decent menu for meat eaters (not so much for vegetarians). They also have a pretty good selection of drinks, however, I tried their truffle mushroom risotto (mains item), while it was cooked very well and tasted great, the portion was just too small for 20 bucks.

Dropped in due to weather 😋 ❤️ Singapore Had a couple of Stella’s and a cheese board, cheese board was great and service also awesome. Ran out of crackers not a problem gave us a few more. Very warm welcoming staff and great ambiance Recommend 😎

Have seen many post about their buffet brunch but since we all had small appetite, we decided to order a few dishes to just share with each other instead. Overall, it was an amazing place to chill with friends over decent food and drinks.

Heard so much about this place and decided to check it out. The crispy pork belly and the sauce was amazing. Best I've ever had. The sticky date pudding was good but could have had more sticky date.... Drinks were ok, their 3stars drink, which is supposed to be strong was very mild. I could have given this place 5 stars but their service needs work. For a long while, we were trying to get someone's attention to order drinks but as can be seen from picture, 2 of their staff was basically on their phone. Another service guy was bz drinking with other customers...and we had to wait quite a while before someone came to us.

Excellent food and drinks here! We managed to hit happy hour and tried a few of their fancy cocktails. In all honesty, the starters hit the spot better than the mains (pasta and seafood smth..) 5 of us shared 2 mains, and 4 starters. And we each had one drink too. $50/pax approx spending.

Lovely food, and cheap cocktails $12. Though the drinks are light, they're well thought, and carries personality! 🍸 Dropped by for some quick bites at Tess, and it didn't disappoint. Would love to come back and try their buffet next time. Crispy pork jowl linguini (8/10) Basically a carbonara made with linguini. Loved the richness, and cheese. The panko breadcrumb toppings were a nice touch for texture. Noodles were aldante, and on point. Do note that the pork jowl are the long thin strips featured in the photos, and they're on the drier, and saltier end. Oven baked camembert (8/10) The bread was oh so crispy, and had fluffy middles. The garlicky flavours went delightfully well with the creamy camembert. Truffles are rather overwhelming, while paired with the bread. As the cheese block was generous. It would have been nice to have some plain bread or fruits to compliment the remaining cheese.
