Whether you are in the mood for a hearty and comforting meal or a relaxing afternoon tea over yummy dessert and a cup of aromatic coffee, The Marmalade Pantry has lots of options and you are always guaranteed to have a great time here.

Founded in 1999, homegrown bistro The Marmalade Pantry has firmly established itself as one of the best lifestyle restaurants in Singapore.

Good news for the folks staying in the west of Singapore, The Marmalade Pantry is opening a new outlet at Anchorpoint Shopping Centre and it is scheduled to open its doors to customers on 7 May 2023.

The restaurant offers a combination of the classic dishes that The Marmalade Pantry is known for, as well as exclusive menu items that are only available at the new outlet.

Located on the Central Atrium at level 1 of Anchorpoint Shopping Centre in Alexandra neighbourhood, The Marmalade Pantry Anchorpoint has a serene space adorned with elegant forest green decor and complemented by wooden accents and abundant greenery. Guests can choose to gather at the cozy 28-seat indoor café or enjoy the ambiance of the 38-seat outdoor area, which is still within the mall’s premises.

Here are some of the exclusive dishes that you can try at The Marmalade Pantry Anchorpoint for a limited time until 31 August 2023:

Crispy Artichokes with Tangy Lemon Ricotta (S$20++)

An excellent appetiser to begin your meal with, the Crispy Artichokes with Tangy Lemon Ricotta consists of small portions of artichokes coated in polenta and deep-fried to achieve a delightful crunch.

Black Pepper Seafood Spaghetti (S$29++)

From Mac & Cheese, to our favourite Seared Scallop & Prawn and their famous Spicy Crabmeat, The Marmalade Pantry has many awesome pasta options which are mainstays on their menu and you can enjoy them at the new Anchorpoint outlet. These evergreen dishes have been perfected over time and favoured by both regulars and new diners alike.

Singaporeans love black pep per seafood dishes, and we are sure the new Black Pepper Seafood Spaghetti—with tiger prawns and squid tossed with al dente spaghetti in a black pepper sauce—will become a crowd-favourite dish.

Duck Ragu Pappardelle (S$30++)

Another pasta dish which is great for sharing or as standalone meal, the Duck Ragu Pappardelle features thick pappardelle ribbons generously coated with succulent balsamic glazed duck that is sure to tantalize the taste buds.

Pork Cheek and Carrot Puree (S$28++)

Don’t miss out on the mouth-watering braised pork cheeks, paired with smoky charred roasted cabbage, and a tamarind and ginger carrot puree, that are sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Honeycomb Poached Pear (S$16++)

The Marmalade Pantry has taken a classic poached pear dessert to the next level by delicately poaching it in a fragrant ginger flower syrup. The tender and succulent pear is then combined with smooth whipped mascarpone and honeycomb.

To celebrate the opening of the new outlet, The Marmalade Pantry has curated a line-up of exclusive promotions to enjoy by paying with Mastercard®.
