An unforgettable feast awaits at the highly coveted Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener, where old-fashioned American vibes and stunning food are designed for the discerning meat enthusiast. Made from a specialised high heat broiler, the signature 28-day dry-aged steak is tender yet robust with every bite. Take a stroll by the charming wharf along the Singapore River to bring an amazing evening to a fine close. Yearning for delectable food and sweet wine? Publico, the hotel’s restaurant is where Italian classics are given a contemporary touch. The red neon sign that hangs at the entrance emanates the vibrancy of a gourmet delicatessen, where the smell of warm flaky pastries hits the spot. Helmed by Italian chef Marco Turrati, the menu here manifests the freshness of Italian produce through classics such as creamy risottos and wood-fired pizzas.
