The Gallery Bistro @ Singapore National Gallery - Chic Museum Cafe With A Picturesque View Of The Singapore Skyline

GalleryBistro16

Tucked on the first floor of National Gallery is The Gallery Bistro, a museum cafe that offers all-day dining from a relaxing brunch in the day to an alfresco co bar at night with mains and cocktails while soaking in the beautiful views of the Singapore's skyline.

Lobster Bisque 4/5

To start the meal, we had the Lobster Bisque ($19). The lobster broth is creamy and flavourful, served with cream of chives and a small handful of lobster flesh.

Steak & Frites 4/5

There was an option for either the Striploin (250g/$28) or Ribeye (250g/$38) for the Steak & Frites, and we chose the latter. The thick medium-rare ribeye cut is succulent, well-seasoned, and yields intensely savoury flavours. It was served alongside a generous portion of fries.

White Wine and Clams Mafaldine 3.5/5

Tossed in garlic, shallot and clams, and butter sautéed in white wine with fresh herbs, the White Wine and Clams Mafaldine ($24) turned out relatively flat in taste, the white wine flavour was rather subtle. I liked the thick and chewy Mafaldine pasta, which has a firmer bite compared to others.

French Toast 4.2/5

End your meal on a sweet note with their variety of sweets on the desserts menu. We had the French Toast ($18) which comes in a thick, soft and fluffy French toast, garnished with cream Chantilly and fresh berries. Adding a scoop of house-made blue pea ice cream from Bread & Butterfly (+$4) is a great decision, as it elevates the toast's flavours, and made it less dry and cloying to finish.
