Gobo Upstairs Lounge and Grill

WHY GO

Apart from a decidedly slick setting with lots of glassy accents and backlit panels, Gobo Upstairs also boasts a well-equipped show kitchen, a compact menu where steaks take priority and enviable views of the city skyline.

TATLER TIPS

From Australian Black Angus to premium Wagyu, there are enough choices to leave ardent carnivores spoiled for choice.

The signature grilled Angus tenderloin with foie gras is a sound choice with juicy, flavourful meat expertly cooked. Noteworthy curtain-raisers to savour include the full-bodied lobster bisque, and scallops served with delicious crab tartare or seared and crusted with wasabi-infused herbed crust. Plump, sweet and tender, the shellfish boasts spot-on doneness, commendable proof of the chef’s expertise. The hazelnut ice globe with Morella cherries and vanilla anglaise makes for a relatively light treat to wrap up dinner.
