54° Steakhouse @ Amoy Street - A Contemporary Steakhouse Redefining the Classics

54Steakhouse47

Located in the heart of the CBD along Amoy Street, 54° Steakhouse is the newest contemporary steakhouse concept by Food Concepts Group (behind Altro Zafferano and Griglia). Its name pays homage to both its address and the precise internal temperature (54 °C) of a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak. Unlike the group’s previous Italian concepts, 54° Steakhouse reinterprets the classic steakhouse through a globally inspired, modern lens.

Potato Brioche 4/5

A must-try to begin is the Potato Brioche ($8), served with three types of housemade butter – Original, Whipped Caramelised Onion, and Beillevaire Salted Butter. Fluffy and pillowy, the brioche offers a comforting start, elevated by the rich butters.

Yellow Tuna 4.2/5

54Steakhouse12
Beef Tenderloin Tartare a la Parisien 4/5

Seafood lovers will appreciate the Yellow Tuna ($24), inspired by smoky Korean beef tartare. Wild-caught Australian tuna is seasoned with smoked ponzu, sesame oil, and crowned with cured egg yolk, its freshness balanced by sweet nashi pear. Alternatively, the Beef Tenderloin Tartare à la Parisien ($28) delivers a more classic rendition. Finely chopped Black Onyx beef is combined with Dijon mustard, gherkins, capers, shallots, and Worcestershire, then topped with egg yolk and accompanied by crisp paprika chips.

54Steakhouse15
Amela Tomatoes 4.2/5

For something refreshing, the Amela Tomatoes ($22) makes a delightful Mediterranean-style salad with Japanese Amela tomatoes, French beetroot, and smoked Greek yoghurt. Each element is carefully prepared — the beetroot marinated French-style with orange juice and sherry vinegar, while the yoghurt is smoked with applewood, giving depth to the vibrant dish.

54Steakhouse21
Capellini 4/5

Pan-Seared Hokkaido Scallops 4/5

The Capellini ($58) is an elegant cold pasta inspired by Japanese noodles, topped with raw Mozambique langoustines and caviar. Seasoned with truffle oil, shio kombu, and Sichuan pepper, the dish is refined yet indulgent. Another highlight is the Pan-Seared Hokkaido Scallops ($32), paired with smoked Snake River Kurobuta bacon and truffle leek velouté — a surf-and-turf interpretation that strikes a balance of richness and delicacy.

54Steakhouse31
Satsuma Wagyu A4 4.2/5

Of course, the stars of the menu are the steaks. Using a signature method, each cut is first seasoned with a proprietary spice blend before being grilled over Australian ironbark wood for a smoky depth, then finished over white binchotan charcoal for that perfect caramelised crust.

USDA Prime Linz Heritage Angus 4.2/5

Black Onyx Angus by Ranger Valley 4/5

54Steakhouse46
Australian Sanchoku Wagyu 4.5/5

- Satsuma Wagyu A4 ($98/170g) from Kagoshima impresses with its silk-like texture and snowflake marbling.

- USDA Prime Linz Heritage Angus (from $98/320g) delivers bold, full-bodied flavours.

- Black Onyx Angus by Ranger Valley (from $78/250g) is prized for its buttery richness from long grain-feeding.

- Australian Sanchoku Wagyu (from $48/300g) balances tenderness with clean, juicy flavours.

To further enhance the experience, housemade sauces ($8++ each) are available — from the house-blend 54 Steak Sauce to Café de Paris, Chimichurri, Pepperberry & Brandy, and Béarnaise.

54Steakhouse56
The Lemon 4.2/5

54Steakhouse57
Burnt New York Cheesecake 4.5/5

Desserts are no afterthought here. The signature The Lemon ($18) surprises with its citrus parfait encased in a delicate white chocolate shell, revealing a refreshing yuzu gel core with lemon sorbet and crumble. For something more indulgent, the Burnt New York Cheesecake ($14), double-baked with French cream cheese and paired with vanilla-blueberry compote, hits the spot. Chocolate lovers will adore the Cold Fondant ($16) — layers of sponge, praline, mousse, and a liquid Gianduja hazelnut-chocolate centre, crafted with Valrhona chocolate for a decadent finish.

Cold Fondant 4.2/5

54° Steakhouse is not just another steakhouse in the CBD. With its meticulous approach to steaks and a globally inspired menu that strikes a balance between creativity and comfort, it stands out as a destination for both meat lovers and those seeking contemporary dining flair.

Under Der Linden @ Portsdown Road - Floral Escape With European Vibes

UnderDerLinden42

Tucked away along Portsdown Road at One-North, Under Der Linden offers diners a floral-themed dining escape, blending European vibes with whimsical charm. The restaurant draws inspiration from the medieval poem "Under der Linden", infusing its interiors with pastel blooms, whitewashed walls, and arched details. The result is a serene, picture-perfect setting, and one of the rare pet-friendly restaurants in Singapore where even furry companions are welcome indoors.

Ice Latte 4.2/5

Burrata Garden Delight 4/5

For our lunch, we started with the Burrata Garden Delight ($22). A whole vine tomato sits on top of a bed of mizuna salad. Slice open the tomato, and it reveals a creamy burrata hidden within. The dish is light, fresh, and visually playful, marrying creamy richness with the peppery crunch of mizuna greens.

UnderDerLinden16
Crispy Calamari Fiesta 4.2/5

The Crispy Calamari Fiesta ($16) is super addictive, with its exterior perfectly crisp while the inside remains firm and tender. A comforting sharing dish that is simple yet executed with finesse.

UnderDerLinden31
Duck Confit 4/5

The Duck Confit ($32) is very well executed. The duck was tender and fell off the bone with ease. It is paired with compressed nashi pear, beetroot purée, and natural jus. The sweetness from the pear and beetroot balances the richness of the duck, creating a harmonious bite.

Wagyu Beef Burger 4.2/5

The Wagyu Beef Burger ($29) features a juicy, medium-rare 200g wagyu patty sandwiched between two soft and fluffy buns. Layered with onion compote, bacon jam, miso aioli, and cheddar cheese, the burger is flavour-packed and indulgent, easily one of the highlights of the menu.

UnderDerLindenCafe-3

Under Der Linden stands out as more than just a floral café. With its elegant interiors, pet-friendly policy, and well-executed menu, it makes for a charming spot for dates, gatherings, or simply a peaceful retreat from the city's bustle. The food is not only beautifully presented but also thoughtfully crafted, making it a dining destination that marries aesthetics with flavour.
