👍 Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Our waiter recommended a Yarra Valley Chardonay which ended being a great pick. Only minus is that food portions are quite small People often mention good, Singapore, service, small, drink, drinks, time, great, Sling, Long,

    Easily one of the worst places to eat in Singapore Do not go here to eat. I repeat do not go here to eat. The food portions are small. They expect you to come for brunch after skipping breakfast and have these petite portions. The seating is 100% outdoor with no fans or aircon whatsoever. I was wearing the lightest possible white tshirt, and it was transparent with sweat by the end of the meal. Food options are limited and almost non existent. Drinks, service and decor/ambience is top class. But that doesnt mean anything when food and seating is that bad.

    Came here for some drinks. We’re lucky enough to get a table even without a reservation, but for a limited time only as they need to cater those who had a reservation. They have a good happy hour on beers, wine and cocktails for the price of $12-$15 and served with some free peanuts. Great ambiance and beautiful - helpful staff. Will definitely recommend the place!

    Maybe the 10th time here? Really love the atmosphere here. The happy hour cocktails (15 sgd each) is definitely a lot more worthy and tasty than the famous Singapore sling! Perfect place to hang out for weekend afternoon.

    My friend and I went there for brunch which we opted for the Courtyard Brunch ($28/set) which you can choose one main, one hot drink and one cold drink. The drinks we ordered (cappuccino, cafe latte, fresh juices) were fine but the food was disappointing. Vegetarian tartine tasted good but very small portion. The three eggs with hash brown and bacon was...just look at the photo and tell me if this is something you expect from a five stars hotel (and this is the Raffles we are talking about!!!). Since the portion was small, we ordered waffle which tastes good but, again, very small portion. The settings and atmosphere is nice and pretty but it’s quite hot on a sunny day. The service is good.

    Very hot and no cooling fan or anything. Felt robbed as the happy hour wasn't fair, they gave you a small glass of beer instead of a full pint. Point of happy hour is the same thing for cheaper.

    Delicious food, a bit small portion as per other reviewer. Had beef rendang, shrimp paste fried chicken, fries and salted egg squid ring. All were pretty decent. Had Singapore Sling too. Overall a great outdoor place for a drink or two, with some light pre-dinner snacks.

  • 5/5 Ikustas Y. 2 years ago on Google • 373 reviews
    Came for private chef special. The portion is shockingly huge at $50 per set. The pork is so well done and tender, almost melt in the mouth. The ingredients used are so fresh and good. I felt its a good collaboration with private chef showcasing their speciality.

    We had the Pun Im bundle. One of the best meals we have had this year. Each dish was perfect and ended on a high with the dessert which was my absolute favourite. Still can’t believe how good the food was. Super lucky we were able to experience such a wonderful meal that too on the final day.

    Came here for high tea with friends - food was good, there was a welcome drink too (we were surprised). Staff were attentive and they let us stay well past the closing time. The highlight (and the reason for choosing this) is the vegetarian menu (yes, even for high tea). Our vegetarian friends enjoyed it and the vegetarian options were as good as the usual ones. So if you are looking for a vegetarian high tea then this is the place to go to (they do cater to other diets too - please call and check them)

    Lovely little oasis to step out of the surrounding bustle. Unfortunately the front of house service is brusque at best and the cocktails were pretty average. House beer is nice though.

    Oh my - how the mighty have fallen! I last came here quite a few years ago when elegance, ambience and amazing service were the words that would spring to mind. We sat against the bar back then and chatted with the skilled bartender, as he mixed us a delicious and perfect Dry Martini, to a soundtrack of 1930’s and 1940’s jazz. Fast forward to 2024 - nonchalant staff dressed like MacDonalds rejects (who thought that uniform was elegant), a watered down Margarita and a soundtrack that wouldn’t be out of place in summertime Ibiza….boom boom boom boom! Ignored and forgotten by staff, whilst Insta-zombies snapped their fingers. “I don’t want to pay 10% service - your service has been appalling” I said …..”sorry - it’s compulsory” Ronald MacDonald said. Save your money - go to Raffles in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh…..Stamford must be turning in his grave!

    Nice alfresco experience within Raffles Hotel. Part of the drinks menu is shared with Long bar so you can get the Singapore Sling here as well. They have a range of non-alcoholic drinks using non-alcoholic spirits like Seedlip. Service was great and drinks and snacks we had made for an enjoyable evening.

  • 5/5 TI G. 1 year ago on Google
    Here for their Singapore Sling. Very pricey drink but for experience we tried it. It’s so so. In 1954, their bartender at the Long Bar invented this cocktail drink and was a novel drink.

  • 5/5 Serene C. 9 months ago on Google
    Had an afternoon drinks sitting under the summer umbrella within Singapore heritage building. Vinod service is absolute! Professional and definitely keep us back next time anytime. Haven’t have a chance to try their dishes but drinks selection is good enough for a chill afternoon. Definitely back here again.

    Raffles Courtyard presents a series of unique partnerships with the best private dining chefs in Singapore. For a limited period from 25 Oct to 21 Nov 2021, you can experience a tantalising culinary spread that marries authentic Thai flavours and traditional French cooking styles, prepared by Chef Vincent Pang of private dining concept Pun Im . The menu showcases both regional and cultural influences on Thai food; enjoy all of Chef Vincent’s signature dishes served together with rice with The Pun Im Bundle (S$80.00++ for two pax), or you can choose to order the dishes a la carte.

  • 4/5 Clément W. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place with historical traces is also the birthplace of Singapore Sling, so it is very interesting to drink. Many groundnut shells on the ground are also a feature. However, Singapore's wine is more expensive. In addition to SGD31, 10% service charge and 7% consumption tax are also required. (Original) 帶有歷史風痕的地方,也是Singapore Sling的發源地,所以喝起來格外有意思。地上有許多花生殼也是一種特色。不過新加坡的酒本來就比較貴,除了SGD31之外還要附上10%的服務費及7%的消費稅,一杯要價七八百塊實在太貴了。

    Came here for birthday drinks and had a really nice time. It could use a couple of fans to circulate the air while you’re sitting outside, but the cocktails were really nice. They had a fun happy hour so got a gin fizz and some other gin concoction and both were nice.

    Soak up the peace before going out into the noisy heat

  • 2/5 Matt R. 7 years ago on Google
    Going for a Singapore Sling? Don't waste your time! Unfortunately the great Long Bar is closed for a year meaning you have to resort to this second class bar instead. The staff are quite rude and unprofessional, not giving you any time to look at the menu and as soon as you have the last sip a bill will be thrust in your face and others sat at your table before you can even pay! There's no atmosphere or sense of history here so as good as the Sling is, at $31 it isn't worth going while the Long Bar is closed.

    Not a bad alternative while the Long Bar is being done up. There was a tiger in here once, says urban legend.

    (Translated by Google) It is a shop originated in Singapore sling, but I met a delicious gin. (Original) シンガポールスリング発祥のお店です ちと高目ですが、美味しいジンに巡り会いました

  • 2/5 S N. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there after spotting the sweaty queue of tourists at the Long Bar only to find an extremely boring drink list. Would have expected a more sophisticated menu. Not impressed.

  • 4/5 Phoebe Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Interesting place! Staff are friendly and cool. Nice ambience too.

  • 2/5 Gonzalo Gastón S. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambiance: Beautiful but way too hot and not enough fans to keep the ambiance cool. Food: Food quality was great but the portions were extremely small to the point that it even looked funny. Service: Service was good however we had an incident where the eggs came broken and they said they were going to change it but we said it was okay. They said they would offer us free ice cream and coffee in return but never happened (Dont mind this but if a hotel with this level of service has a problem and they promise something in return, they should at least do it)

    Portion size is too small for the price. Some of the dishes lacked proper seasoning.
