riviera dining

Dinner @ Rivercafe, Robertson Quay
Went to this nice restaurant along the banks of robertson quay last weekend with my dad & angela..It's a quaint little restaurant housed in the singapore tyler print institute..Stepping into it was a pleasant surprise..almost like stepping into one of those restaurant cafes in the back alleys of european towns.

Though there's a european feel to it, Rivercafe actually offers modern australian cuisine, and they supposedly have one of the largest selections of australian red wines in s'pore.

Very romantic, whether you dine alfresco or inside the cosy little restaurant. We went on a sunday so it wasn't too crowded..One of the nicer restaurants where you can have a decent conversation without raising your voice, even with the jazzy/classical music in the background.

The food was great..i had braised veal osso bucco in tangy thai veal jus (yummy--i Love meat!); daddy had the australian beef tenderloin with blue cheese; Angela had the middle eastern spatchcock with minted yoghurt..

But the memorable part of the dinner was of course the desserts!
