This year hasn’t been a good one for anyone, and the F&B industry in Singapore is one of the hardest-hit sectors. This has caused many well-loved eateries to close their doors.

Joining the other eateries that have shut down in Singapore is The Pelican, which will officially cease operations on 30 June 2020.

The Pelican will not be reopening in phase 2 along with the other F&B outlets.

This popular dining establishment had been a popular spot for fresh seafood and hearty mains that were great for any occasion.

We are sad to see them go and we hope that the rest of the eateries in Singapore will continue to stay strong during this trying period.

Refinery Concepts has over a decade of experience in creating, curating and operating unique F&B concepts in Singapore. To date, they have successfully managed a spectrum of stellar dining establishments with the likes of cosy cafes, bespoke bars and fine dining restaurants.

Sure, there are plenty of beef-centric eateries all over Singapore, all of which are constantly beefing themselves up to gain an advantage over their competitors. With so many variety of beef dishes available, sometimes all we want is just a comforting dish of Steak Frites – steak with fries for the colloquial speak.

It’s a beloved french classic and a staple at western stores in coffee shops here, yet this deceivingly simple dish makes it all that more harder to pull off and have it taste good. Fret not, here is our Guide on where to find Steak Frites in Singapore.

BAR – ROQUE GRILL

Helmed by Alsatian chef Stephane Istel, Bar-Roque Grill doles out fantastic grilled meats. They use organic dry-aged rib-eye steaks, in which with the moisture drawn out gives a much more intense flavour and a meatier texture. They’re served alongside a generous serving of skinny fries too.

MEAT N’ CHILL

Meat N’ Chill is considered one of the best values for their meat. Located along Bukit Timah Road, it’s slightly out of the way but makes for a worthwhile trip as their New York Strip(500gm) is only $35. There’s a limited quantity available each day due to the tedious preparation process. Served along straight-cut fries and one more side dish of your choice, it’s bang for the buck.

For folks like us who will always be down for seafood in a heartbeat, The Pelican at One Fullerton is a top-of-mind restaurant whenever we crave quality, reasonable price point and ambience all in one.

For those of you hankering for a tipple post-work, The Pelican also has killer happy hour 1-for-1 deals. Offering diners a gorgeous view of the Marina Bay skyline, The Pelican is a dining spot we have always loved over the years.

A place that sees a frequent gathering of cocktail lovers, seafood aficionados, and hopeless romantics, the restaurant boasts both an indoor and al fresco dining area.

Regulars to The Pelican will know that seafood is the focus here. Most of their seafood and ingredients are from sustainable sources—a daunting feat yet one that highlights the responsible and committed nature of the restaurant’s team. However, not many people know that The Pelican also offers an array of incredible steaks and burgers on the menu.

And on top of these all, the all-new Upper Deck is an intimate event space that can cater to up to 20 persons—suitable for private parties, big-group gatherings and luncheons.

From now until May 2018, quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a complimentary bottle of Italian Sparkling (Piccini, Vino Spumante, Brut Prosecco, Col Dorato and Rose Brut Prosecco) when you dine in a group of minimum 4 pax.

THE PELICAN GRILLED SEAFOOD PLATTER

A dish so visually stunning that we totally wanted it to be our phone’s wallpaper, The Pelican’s stellar Grilled Seafood Platter (S$158++) comprises a whole barramundi, baked oysters, grilled squid, whole baked lobster, grilled corn, and tomatoes.

The individual ingredients were treated simply with minimal fuss to best bring out their natural flavour profiles. The standouts for us, however, were the whole fish and the grilled squid.

Take it from us, their namesake dish is best enjoyed with a friend or two at the al fresco dining area by the river as you soak in the sights and sounds of the Marina Bay Skyline.

THE FRESHEST OYSTERS

Any oyster fanatics here? The Pelican is one place we can always trust for fresh, plump and juicy oysters. There are occasional oyster deals too, so be sure to check with the wait staff on the latest promotion.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED CRAB CAKES

Nothing overly fancy about these Old Fashioned Crab Cakes (S$24), just well-executed balls of sweet crab meat deep-fried to a gorgeous golden hue, accompanied with the housemade tartare sauce for an enhanced flavour.

CHILLI CRAB LINGUINI

The Pelican’s Chilli Crab Linguini (S$32) comes with a generous portion of jumbo crab meat and an unbeatable homemade chilli crab sauce that strongly reminds us of our national dish. The sauce is particularly tangy if you are a fan of strong flavours.

OUR ULTIMATE FAVOURITE – THE SNAPPER PIE

Warm, creamy, crusty and aromatic with subtle nuances from truffle, the Snapper Pie (S$40++) is truly a marvellous dish that also happens to be our favourite on the entire menu. Crack open the glorious puff pastry lid to unveil a beautifully cooked white snapper and tender vegetables in the creamy, truffle-infused sauce.

We’ve had it several times before during previous visits but still, this delightful dish hasn’t gone out of style. The flaky crust is buttery and simply irresistible when eaten together with the luscious sauce.

BEAUTIFUL RIBEYE STEAK

Considered one of the tastiest and most elegantly flavoured cuts of beef due to its ratio between fat and tender meat, the ribeye is our all-time favourite steak cuts and because it is our favourite, our standards as far as ribeyes are concerned are considerably high.

Thankfully, their Ribeye Steak (S$58++) did not disappoint. On the contrary, we were very impressed by how perfectly executed the steak was. Beautifully seared on the outside and perfectly pink in the middle, every mouthful was an explosion of intense beefy flavours.

As if that wasn’t heavenly enough, the steak is complemented with an umami-rich anchovy butter that boasts tremendously deep and rounded flavours.

LOBSTER LOVERS, YOUR “SURF & TURF”

To enjoy the full “Surf & Turf” experience, diners are able to top-up an additional S$58++ to enjoy a whole baked lobster, mixed salad and fries in addition to one of their steakhouse selections—choose from Ribeye Steak, NY Strip Steak, Grilled Pork T Bone or The Pelican Burger.

Without overdoing the lobster, the top layer is charred just enough to achieve a crispy crust while the lobster flesh beneath it is allowed to steam in its juices, resulting in meat that is succulent and tender.

THE BEST LOBSTER BURGER

While the appearance of The Pelican Lobster Burger (S$58++) was nothing much to brag about, it left a huge impression on us. Appealing in its flavours and textures, the unique patty—made entirely out of lobster—was succulent and full of natural sweetness.

However, the real deal here is undoubtedly the bacon. Candied and baked till crispy, the bacon adds a delightful crunch to the burger and a unique savoury-sweet aftertaste.

WHOOPIE PIE FOR THE CHOCO LOVERS

If there was any physical object or food that best epitomises the word ‘decadent’, it would be the restaurant’s highly acclaimed dessert—the Whoopie Pie (S$16++).

Essentially chocolate stuffed in between more chocolate and topped with even more chocolate, this decadent dessert is Miranda Kerr’s worst nightmare and every chocolate lover’s dream come true.

Luscious chocolate ganache is stuffed between two chocolate cakes and the entire thing is topped with flakes of—you guessed it—chocolate. Very sweet, very rich, very sinful, but very satisfying.

DAILY HAPPY HOUR 1-FOR-1 DEALS

If the stresses of your job have got you craving a tipple or possibly ten, then let The Pelican’s daily happy hour 1-for-1 promotion help to take the edge off.

From Mondays to Thursdays, enjoy 1-for-1 deals for beers, spirits, and wines between 12pm to 3pm, 5pm to 9pm, and on Fridays between 12pm to 9pm—that’s 10 full hours of non-stop boozy indulgence!

YOUR NEW EVENT SPACE – THE UPPER DECK

New to restaurant’s interior is their new Upper Deck seating area that features a long communal table intended for semi-private dining.

This is your next new spot to throw a party—be it a hen’s night dinner, a birthday celebration, a small ROM ceremony, a business luncheon or anything fanciful and chichi. You know it’d be a good one when food and drinks are taken care of, and your guests are going to have nothing but wonderful memories of a round of fun, booze and great food.

To book the Upper Deck, a minimum of 10 pax is required and the maximum capacity is 20. There is a minimum spend of S$1,600—before GST and service charge.

Special degustation menus are also available if you are booking the entire upper deck. The prices are as follows:
