Riveria20

RivieraIG-2

Nestled on the second floor of One Fullerton, Riviera offers more than just a dining experience — it's a visual and culinary journey across the diverse flavours of the Mediterranean. Overlooking the breathtaking Marina Bay waterfront and Singapore's iconic Merlion, Riviera is the perfect spot for a romantic night out, a special celebration, or an indulgent evening of fine dining.

Before dinner, start with a pre-dinner drink at the elegant lounge. With the gorgeous view and luxurious ambience, it's the ideal setting to ease into the evening.

Our visit saw us try the Taste of The Riviera 4-course dinner menu ($128++ per pax). It began with a complimentary trio of bread — charcoal Parmesan Bagel, Brioche, and Sourdough — paired with salted butter. Each had its own texture and flavour profile, which was a great introduction to attention to detail throughout the meal.

AMUSE BOUCHE 4.2/5

We kicked off with two beautifully presented bites: a Crab Tartlet, where the sweetness of the crab is elevated with pink peppercorn, and a Butternut Squash sphere that bursts with sweet flavour sitting atop a savoury parmesan base for that satisfying crunch. These are small bites with big impressions.

Riveria14
ROSSO DI MAZARA 5/5

A standout starter, the Rosso Di Mazara features Sicilian Red Prawn Carpaccio seasoned with hazelnut vinaigrette. The red prawns were supremely sweet and melt-in-the-mouth, perfectly complemented by seasonal white asparagus. It was a refreshing yet luxurious opening to the meal.

L'OURSIN 4.8/5

This dish showcases Riviera's creative flair. Bafun uni crowns a bed of Black Bean Tea Pudding with saffron nage, delivering a dish full of surprises. The pudding has a unique texture and earthy flavour, unlike anything we've had before — in the best way possible. It is complex, layered, and sophisticated.

Riveria24
LE CANARD DE CHALLANS 4.5/5

For my main, I chose the Le Canard de Challans. The Challans Duck Breast was cooked beautifully, seasoned just enough to let its natural flavours shine through. Accompanied by a rich bordelaise sauce, the dish felt refined and comforting.

Riveria31
LA TRUITE 4.8/5

My dining partner opted for the La Truite, a filleted French Rainbow Trout topped with smoked caviar and a crisp piece of skin. Served with a smooth petit pois velouté and charred baby endive, it was a well-balanced dish with elegance and complexity.

Riveria47
“MONS” SELECTION OF MATURED CHEESES 4/5

You can add a cheese course for $38. The Mons Cheese Platter includes a variety of soft and hard cheeses, ideal for cheese lovers looking to extend their Mediterranean journey. It's a great way to slow down the meal before dessert.

Riveria36
CANNOLIS AU CHOCOLAT 4.8/5

I've never been a fan of Cannoli because of the hard shell, but Riviera's version won me over. Infused with star anise, the shell is perfectly crisp, and when paired with the Jivara orange chocolate mousse and Grand Marnier sauce, it becomes a divine dessert experience. A creative spin that's both nostalgic and exciting.

Riveria44

As tradition goes, we ended the meal with a selection of petit fours – a sweet little finale that tied everything together.

Riviera isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to savour life. Riviera delivers on every front with breathtaking views, impeccable service, and a menu that showcases both Mediterranean tradition and modern refinement. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary, Riviera makes the experience worth it.

VUE @ OUE Bayfront- Showcases the Exquisite Flavours of SILERE New Zealand Alpine Merino Lamb in Its Spring Menu

VueXSilere34

VueMar25IG-2

This spring, VUE at OUE Bayfront presents an elevated spring menu featuring an exclusive selection of Silere Alpine Merino Lamb dishes. Raised free-range in the wild alpine meadows of New Zealand, these lambs graze on golden tussocks and wild mountain thyme, which naturally contribute to their distinctive flavour profile.

VueXSilere5
Silere NZ Alpine Merino Lamb Tartare 4/5

The cold appetiser of Silere NZ Alpine Merino Lamb Tartare truly showcased the exquisite meat. The tender texture of the lamb paired beautifully with oscietra caviar, pickled sakura leaves, and egg yolk gel, enhancing its richness and depth of flavour. A subtle gaminess lingered at the end of each bite, adding an intriguing nuance. A touch more acidity could have further elevated the tartare.

VueXSilere1
Zeeland Kingfish Confit 4.5/5

Another standout cold appetiser was the Zeeland Kingfish Confit, complemented by pickled kabu, grilled mussels, and smoked bonito vinegar. The dish delivered both richness in texture and layered umami flavours, balanced by just the right amount of acidity.

VueXSilere17
White Asparagus 4.2/5

For a vegetarian warm appetiser, the seasonal White Asparagus was well-executed, its grilled smokiness enhancing the asparagus's natural mildness. The lion's mane mushroom tempura added a satisfying crunch and a moreish quality to the dish. A drizzle of herb oil and sweet, piquant choron sauce tied the elements together harmoniously.

VueXSilere11
Scallop & Pearls 4.2/5

The seafood warm appetiser, Scallop & Pearls (+$18), was a showstopper. The scallops were succulent and perfectly seared, paired with buttery cauliflower purée and creamy oscietra caviar, delivering a silky, indulgent mouthfeel. A hint of mild curry cream and pickled onions added depth and a slight acidity to balance the richness.

VueXSilere21
Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto 4.2/5

For the risotto course, we sampled the Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto and Signature Uni Risotto (+$12), each offering a perfectly cooked rice texture. The Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto featured porcini and sautéed chestnut mushrooms enriched with Parmigiano and truffle for a deep, earthy flavour. While deliciously rich and umami-packed, it became slightly too salty towards the end.

VueXSilere26
Uni Risotto 4.5/5

The Uni Risotto had a unique briny and cheesy flavour profile, enhanced by the use of Japanese multi-grain rice, which added a nutty dimension that paired well with the creamy sea urchin.

VueXSilere30
Silere NZ Alpine Merino Lamb Rack 4/5

Under the Mains, the Silere NZ Alpine Merino Lamb Rack was presented as a Lamb Wellington, wrapped in flaky, golden pastry with tender, blushing-pink lamb at its core. While the lamb's flavour was relatively mild, the dish was elevated by a Pithivier chilli & cumin pesto and a tangy buttermilk sauce, which provided a bold, flavourful contrast.

VueXSilere36
Spanish Lubina 4.5/5

For the seafood main, the Spanish Lubina was well-cooked with a crisp, golden-brown skin. It was enhanced with Sardinian bottarga alongside tender braised leek and kale velouté, adding a depth of oceanic and herbaceous flavours.

VueXSilere43
Sobacha Dark Chocolate 4.8/5

For a decadent finish, the Sobacha Dark Chocolate stood out with its nutty blond buckwheat mousse, fermented soy caramel, and cereal milk ice cream — a sublime combination of textures and flavours. The prized Shizuoka Musk Melon (+$28) was a delightful choice for a lighter option. This air-flown melon was served with fresh berries and seasonal sorbet, allowing its natural sweetness and juiciness to shine.

VueXSilere40
Shizuoka Musk Melon 4.2/5

Available from 28 March 2025 to 23 June 2025, the Spring Menu features 3-course $128++ | 4-course $168++ | 5-course $198++ per guest
