1-Altitude

Located at the Level 61-63 levels of 1 Raffles Place, 1-Altitude is the world's tallest al fresco bar. Consist of 3 concept bars and restaurant, this venue offers unblocked and unrivalled view of the CBD and the harbour.

Currently planning a client event so been going there for meetings. Had lunch at Stellar on 62 level.

Ocean Trout Gravadiax with baby potatoes and spring onion salad

Pan Fried foie gras with pear capaccio and jamon infusion

Wood-fried Kurobuta pork belly with roasted garlic mash, apple and pear jelly

4 hour rib of beef with a grain of mustard and horseradish crust with porcini risotto
Chocolate amere with raspberrywith summer berries compote and dark chocolate sauce


Considering the view, ambience and food quality, the set lunch price is actually quite good. $32 for a 2 course, $38 for a 3 course, complete with coffee or tea. Though you need to pay a supplement for certain items like the foie gras, beef ribs etc.

I had the foie gras, pork belly and the chocolate amere. Serving of the foie gras was very generous, absolutely satisfying. Didn't have to think twice when I saw Kurobuta pork belly on the menu. Didn't taste oily or fatty at all, and it combined very well with the very smooth and tasty garlic mash. If you are a chocolate lover, then you have to try the chocolate amere. 2 layers of thick/dense chocolate mousse and 2 layers of rich chocolate cake.... oooo, yummy.

Gotta go back another time to try the other items on the menu and sip cocktails at the Gallery after dark.
