Vibe - Singapore

This restaurant feels close to the heart. I have dined here some years ago when they first gained their Michelin star and had it in good memories so I had to revisit eventually. Here is what I can say: The two of us opted for the 'Taste of Candlenut ' tasting menu. We were presented with three flights of dishes, following a starters/mains/desserts logic. Each flight, for the lack of a better wording, consisted of several small plates, so in total this adds up to quite a number of individual dishes. Which is great, as the food here is just phantastic. It 's genuine, sincere and heartwarming and at the same time forward looking and cosmopolitan. I wish more chefs would have the vision to combine culinary heritage with contemporary gastronomy in such a meaningful way as it is done here. We opted for non alcoholic beverages and there is a decent selection of mocktails and teas to choose from. On any other night I´d go with their selection of craft beers which must pair well with the at times spicy dishes. The staff we interacted with was lovely and clearly enthusiastic about the restaurant and cuisine, which made dinner here even more enjoyable.

Damn awesome dinner place. We had the set meal. The service was so good. They were very quick to attend to all our needs and they were very polite too! I'm impressed with the way they treat their customers! We left some beef that we couldn't finish and even though it is only 3 small pieces, they still packed in nicely in a paper bag for us(: The food was delicious. We can food of all flavours, it was very satisfying! My favourite dish of the night has to be the mussel, it is from France and served with tempeh. Awesome! I love the duck soup too! Every dish is a mini surprise in terms of favour. It is very homey. Will be back again(:

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! Our server, Arvin, was attentive and friendly, making our time there even better. The Peranakan cuisine was outstanding! The tasting menu offered a generous amount of food, with a wonderful variety of flavors. I will definitely make this a must-visit spot on my future trips to Singapore.

Each dish had a unique flavor that brought back wonderful memories for me. The flavors lingered on my palate long after each bite. The portion sizes were generous enough for two people. When I typically think of tasting menus, I assume the portions will be small and unsatisfying. However, at Candlenut, I started to feel full by the middle of the main courses. As for the value for money, I wouldn’t say it’s expensive considering the quality of the food. The restaurant itself was clean and had lovely decor—perfect for Instagram!

One of my favorite meals in Singapore! I'm so happy I decided to stop by despite the heavy rain. The food was delicious, and the decor was both cozy and elegant. The service was great from everyone; we felt like part of the family. I’ll definitely return with my family in the future!
