The Soup Spoon (raffles City)

The food portion are sharable and have different of varieties to share if you would like to try more food. The service was good too. For alcohol lovers, can get $9 drink for their knock off hour menu

Been here several times. Delicious Australian-Mediterranean cuisine featuring high quality and fresh ingredients. Many vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu. Their set lunches at $24 are really great value. Ala carte prices for dinner can add up to abit but you get what you pay for.

The steak was done very well, medium as ordered and very tender. The truffle fries were fried well, crunchy and not too oily. Lunch for two Inc taxes n service plus two additional sides came to $52 which was reasonable. Service was pleasant and prompt.

My friends and I were there for desserts. The service was great. They patiently recommended us which desserts to go for. The ambience is chill and nice! The desserts were plated beautifully and tasted excellent. The worry about desserts is that it would be a plate of sugar, but not at Botanic. Theirs were balanced, and you could taste the individual notes of each ingredient. Will surely be back!

Visited this restaurant on 13 December 2018. Straight up 5 stars here based on my first (and so far only) experience here. The Botanic sits where Salt Tapas Bar used to be, and I was slightly bummed when I found out Salt was gone mainly because it was a usual hangout for me and a couple of friends over some cheese, wine and oysters. But The Botanic did not disappoint either. I 'm rating this place 5 stars based on service, food, atmosphere and price granted nothing is perfect, and I would rate it 4.5 stars if there exist such options, but oh wells, round that up to 5 stars anyway. Service my friend and I were served by a caucasian waiter. He was the kind of waiter that is friendly, meek, attentive and always very willing to help. Even though my friend and I were sat outside at a pretty 'negligible ' corner, he never failed to notice us whenever we needed service. Food we ordered 2 starters and 2 mains. Starters would be the Tuna Ceviche and the Scotch Egg, while the mains are the Grilled Sirloin and the Lamb Shoulder. I wasn 't impressed by the tuna ceviche, I mean it was good, but it wasn 't memorable. I was pleased with the scotch egg, but it wasn 't mind blowing either. What impressed me was the main dishes the sirloin was cooked to the right doneness (medium rare), and the sides of root vegetables complimented it well. The lamb was also very impressive, and mind you, I am always apprehensive about lamb due to how easy it is to mess up the dish with the typical pungent taste, but this one is really done well. It was a slow cooked shoulder, so it falls off the bone easily, and while I won 't exaggerate that it 'melts in the mouth ', it was still very tender and delicious. Atmosphere its a nice place, but also very casual. No pressure even if you walked in with t shirt, shorts and flip flops, which was what I did. We sat outdoor, so inevitably there will be noise from the road, but it was a very negligible 'problem ' you can always choose to sit indoor. Price remember I said earlier I would give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 stars if I could? I 'm deducting 0.5 simply because of the price. It wasn 't expensive the total sum of those 4 dishes were somewhere between $110 to $120 but it 's not exactly the price where I can go every weekend. We didn 't even order any drinks and it came up to about $55 $60 per person. Nonetheless, I 'd rather pay this amount and be satisfied, than to go for cheaper options and be disappointed.
