FREE WEEKDAY LUNCH TIME PARKING

Quayside Isle is really not as far as you think. It is but a five-minute drive from HarbourFront (or maybe less!), and if you enter the car park at Quayside Isle from 12pm and exit by 2.30pm from Mondays to Fridays, excluding Public Holidays, you enjoy Free Weekday Lunchtime Parking! In other words, you are only paying for the S$2 Sentosa entrance fee for a wondrous “lunch-time getaway” at the quaint Quayside Isle, where you are free from the hubbubs of the city and all that cosmopolitan stress.

Need to run some errands during lunch hour? No problem, because Quayside Isle has Little Provence and Jasons The Gourmet Grocer for your grocery shopping. Pick up a bottle of wine if you need to – for your colleagues, or if you forgot your boss’ birthday present – at The Straits Wine Company.

How about a foot massage before you go back to work? The Good Sole does pretty mean foot reflexology! Drop off your laundry at Easyclean Laundry before you go for lunch, and perhaps get a hair wash at Hera Beauty Salon; midday perk-me-up, right?

And the residents there have it convenient because there is a Quayside Isle Preparatory School to send their kids to. Or if your pet needs some grooming, Petpawroni is there for you. The Healthcare Medical @ Sentosa also is available to service the healthcare needs of the community at Sentosa.

You see, Quayside Isle is really complete.

This post is brought to you by Quayside Isle.

While Robertson Quay may not get as much recognition as Clarke Quay or Boat Quay, there are many good restaurants, cafes and shops in the neighbourhood that are worth mentioning. Here is a guide to restaurants in Robertson Quay.

Aburiya

Craving for Japanese BBQ after reading my post on Gyu-Kaku restaurant? Aburiya at The Quayside is one of the Yakiniku places in Singapore that is worth checking out. Read: Wagyu beef heaven. What are you waiting for?

#01-03 The Quayside
Tel: +65 6735 4862

Bar Bar Black Sheep

Bar Bar Black Sheep (bbbs) is one of those places that you would find it hard to categorise. Is it an upmarket coffee shop? Or is it a cafe-bar with al fresco (read: no air conditioning) dining? It doesn’t really matter. Expatriates love the place.

If you have not been there before, the cafe-bar (or whatever you want to call it) houses three different stalls that serve Thai, Western and North Indian cuisine – helmed by independent chefs. And of course, there’s a bar where you can get some drinks like a nice cocktail or beer.

Bacchus Bistro & Bar

Another place that I find it hard to categorise is Bacchus Bistro & Bar. The menu is quite diversified and you can get things like Chicken Schnitzel, Pork Knuckle, Japanese Salmon Steak, UK Fish & Chips, Pasta and Pizza. Is it a German restaurant or a German wine cellar that offers fusion food?

Bella Pasta has a very different menu from Bella Pizza. Besides a wide range of pasta, it also serves meat, seafood and fish main courses. Definitely worth a try!

Boomarang Bistro & Bar

Boomarang Bistro is one of the few Australian restaurants in Singapore – it was set up by a true Aussie owner and his chef with the aim of introducing their interpretation of authentic Australian cuisine to Singapore.

Bon Gout

Even though I have been to Robertson Quay many times, Bon Gout has never been on my must-eat restaurants radar. I think it’s mainly because I was always distracted by my favourite brunch at Epicurious Cafe.

From what I’ve heard, Bon Gout is a small Japanese eatery which serves pretty decent Japanese food at affordable prices. I’m going to make a trip there next.

Stacked Dim Sum Bar

A bar that serves dim sum with alcoholic drinks? Now, this is interesting. It is no secret that I love dim sum, so I was really happy to hear about the new Stacked Dim Sum Bar at Robertson Quay, until I saw their menu.

Most of their selections are priced from $7-10 per basket and the price is much higher than the usual dim sum restaurants in five star hotels. Don’t get me wrong, I am willing to splurge on good dim sum, but somehow, the menu seems a little overpriced and the whole thing feels more like a novelty concept to me.

That said, I’m glad that there’s new option for dim sum during dinner.
