The cafe is located within walking distance from the MRT station. There is both indoor aircon and outdoor open air dine in area. There is free wifi in the cafe, as free wifi from the mall. The indoor are was a tab dark in lighting.Grilled Truffle Cheese Sandwich ($14)Grilled buttery brioche bread stuffed with truffle cheese, emmental cheese and oak-smoked cheddar, served with tomato cheddar soup.The truffle oil smell was a tab light. The cheesy crispy sandwich was delicious when dipped with the tangy tomato soup. I wished that the soup could be served smoky hot. It was just warm.Smoked Salmon Rosti ($16)Crispy potato rosti topped wti h smoked salmon, capers, creme frachie and fresh onions.The rosti was not quite what I was expected. I suspected it was machined shredded as the potato was long and thin, making it dry without the mushy potato texture. It made one felt like having potato noodles. The creme frachie was light which balanced the salty smoked salmon, although I preferred the strong flavoured sour cream to go with it.There is a free regular coffee promotion with every order of weekend brunch items. Since I ordered 2 brunch items, I had as Cappuccino ($5.50) and Latte ($5.50) as the free drinks. Could not taste the different between the both drinks as both are quite milky.…查看更多

We went to Oriole Cafe & Bar because of the 1-for-1 Entertainer deals hehe! Original price was $60 but we paid $30!! So worth it.Baked seafood pasta. The tomato's sauce was good but the seafood tasted like the frozen kind. The sauce was not overly rich and had a more watery texture.Crabmeat aglio olio. This was good too and wasn't very oily. There were lots of garlic in it which enhanced the taste of the aglio olio. The crabmeat was kinda hard unfortunately.…查看更多

For the full post, visit http://toseetofeeltoeat.blogspot.sg/2014/02/oriole-cafe-and-bar-somerset.htmlThe breakfast menu was limited but there was the usual smoked salmon and English breakfast. I chose the Hot Smoked Salmon ($19) since I was always a fan of smoked salmon. The Hot Smoked Salmon came with oak smoked salmon, poached eggs, spinach, hollandaise sauce and English muffins. Also ordered a orange juice to wash the meal down. I liked the poached eggs but that was the only thing I truly fancied in my Hot Smoked Salmon. I was quite surprised that the smoked salmon came as shreds of fully cooked salmon. I expected salmon which was cured and smoked instead of fully cooked salmon. The spinach was really salty which took me by surprise. The greens were fresh but nothing too special.I will come by Oriole Cafe for brunch again if I want somewhere in town which is less crowded. But I will not visit Oriole Cafe for my smoked salmon fix. There are many other cafes serving better smoked salmon and poached egg.…查看更多

Located along the beautifully-lit discovery walk between Somerset 313 and Pan Pacific Serviced Suites are a row of restaurants and cafes. They always look so good especially at night, when illuminated by the tiny blue lights twinkling high above (in trees).We decided to give Oriole Cafe & Bar a try as it was empty that evening, and a male buddy recommended this place for its good coffee. The first dish we ordered was the Chicken Casserole, a piping hot dish that looked rather simple served in a shallow ceramic pan - chunks of chicken, capsicum, chorizo, tomato and toast baguette in tomato-paprika sauce. Casseroles are known to be very homely comfort food whereby one just tosses all sorts of ingredients found in the fridge and let it cook in the ovens. This was certainly comfort food, but a tasty one - tender chicken chunks amongst crunchy capsicum bits and chewy chorizo dices. The tomato-paprika sauce was thick and nicely-flavored, a perfect soak over the ingredients and the perfect dip for the hard-crusted bread slices.Then we had the Scallops Risotto - uniquely flavorful blends of large scallops, gentle sweetness of pumpkin bits, the stronger tinge of blue cheese (Gorgonzola) toned down by the herb-ish aroma of Balsamic glaze. Tender, chewy scallops charred to a smokey deliciousness cooked perfectly in chewy arborio rice, what more could we ask for? The slight play at food art was unneessary, because the colors of the tiny veggie bits had already piqued our appetites. Being an all-time risotto lover, this dish stole my heart easily too.For more detailed information and photos, do drop by:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2013/12/dinner-at-oriole-cafe.html…查看更多

We were recommended by our friend to try the St. Louis Pork Ribs here. It was said to resemble the pork ribs from the famous Naughty Nuri's Warung in Bali, Indonesia. The style, maybe yes; the taste, still a far cry from the char-grilled ribs from Naughty Nuri's Warung. That said, we like how the sambal matah complemented the ribs. I didn't know that this place is actually famous for their coffee. Apparently the owner, Keith Ong, was awarded the best barista in the Singapore National Barista Championships 2010. The coffee I ordered here was chilli chocolate mocha, it is one of their competition coffee. I like how they blend the strong and bold ristretto with fresh chilli juice. There is only one word to describe it - shiok!…查看更多

A mocha.And a flat white please.This place has been my favourite artisan coffee spot in town. located conveniently at Somerset 313, the cafe is owned by Keith Loh, who took first place in the National Barista Competition 2010 and head Barista John Ting. And this was also the first time I had my flat white with abstract latte art like that. I had half a mind to change my order but decided, I'd do well as long as the taste held up just fine. which it did.They also do a good french press here. Instead of the usual run of the mill coffees at those chain coffee places, this place brings coffee tasting to a higher notch at the same prices. so try this instead next time you're in town for some coffee :)…查看更多

I ordered a jerk chicken for $22 and the portion was surprisingly generous! It came with a side of onion rings, however I changed it to a salad instead and it was super yummy! And thankfully it was mostly chicken breast which fit into my diet well! If you're not a fan of chicken breast, like many of my friends, don't order this! The meat may be too dry for your liking!I ordered the chili chocolate mocha ($6) one of the 2 competition coffee! I don't really know how to taste what's a good coffee or what's not, but this cup of coffee left me in awe. Served with a cinnamon stick, the cinnamon taste was divine when mixed together with the hint of spiciness in the coffee, and blended well with the chocolatey taste. The best coffee I've ever drank. I'll be back for more food and coffee! Do try it out! I spent a total of $32 inclusive of GST and service charge!…查看更多

Passed by Oriole Cafe and decided to have brunch there. Ordered the full english, which comes with sunny side up, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and toast. I like the mushrooms, very fragrant and juicy. Sausages was good too, very thick and yummy. But didn't really enjoy the other items, especially the bacon which I thought was a little overcooked and thus very hard. My friend had the jerk chicken, I would say it's a better choice than the full english. The chicken is soft and tender, and onion rings which come with it is fried well, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Staff who served us was very cheerful though! …查看更多

Had a photoshoot with the friends and we decided to chill at this cafe as it's a very hot day and everywhere else is crowded on a weekend. The cafe was very dark inside, the lights is not much help. I ordered my usual homemade vanilla latte and a honey affrogato. The coffee in the affrogato is much better here as its less acidic and its smoother. However, the vanilla ice cream is not as good as another place. Love the honey crumble bits in it.…查看更多

Located outside Somerset 313, this cafe is worth a visit if you're in town and thinking of where to dine.Had a lunch date with my friend last month there during their 1-1 set lunch promotion.I really like the fries, but the chicken burrito was a tad disappointing.The fillings were not hot - the chicken burrito just feels like a cold dish T.TI only ate 1.5 out of the 4 pieces; it's really a waste, but I just couldn't finish it up.The sauce didn't taste good too.But, I must say the atmosphere there was great for meetups with friends!Enjoyed my dining experience, and the drink, although my food was disappointing.I'll be back to try more varieties :)…查看更多

Went Oriole for lunch after a hot yoga session, I was so hungry and wanted to order everything on the menu. I had St. Louis’ pork ribs $28, not only have the usual sweet and tangy taste this ribs tasted more Asian with the sambal matah along side, ribs were braised till tender and fall-off-the-bone. Served with perfectly roasted puffy sweet potato and fresh crunchy tossed greens) Superb!I thought of having a light sweet ending but I can’t resist the temptation and ordered a Oriole knickerbocker glory $14 ; smooth and luscious triple chocolate & vanilla ice cream with sweet brandied cherries, crunchy almond cat's tongue and crispy double chocolate cookies.…查看更多

Now its time for some high classiness food in singapore! Oriole Cafe & Bar was recommended by Ladyironchef, reading the blog review wasn't enough for me. I had to go down personally to rate them!To start off, i was overwhelm by the ambience the moment i stepped into the restuarant. The soft lighting makes the environment really cozy, tables were not placed too closed to each other. Furnishing are great, all these with soothing music generates a really relaxing environment for the diners. Big thumbs up to them on this.I ordered the strawberry cheesecake and mocha. The mouth-watering cheesecake is soft, smooth, sweet, so many ways to describe. The bottom crust added to the overall texture complementing the top.The highlight for this review will go to the mocha. Oriole Café & Bar is renowned for their coffee, so i can't miss this. I'm definitely not good at appreciating coffee at professional standards, but this mocha is really good. The aroma it gives off makes me yearn to get one more cup, the sweetness hit right on the stop. No extra sugar has to be added. The coffee art is also worthy of an appraisal too.Total cost was S$17.05. Expensive? No. Its totally worth the price.…查看更多

I have always wanted to go Oriole Cafe & Bar after reading the many raves of this cafe online. It is conveniently located just outside 313 Somerset!They are having this set lunch promotion from $16 onwards, from Monday to Friday. The set lunch promo gave us a choice of starter(soup or salad) and main with a complimentary beverage. Very worth it! As I wanted to try the Tagliatelle Beef Cheek which was not included in the set lunch, we decided to order 1 main, 1 set lunch and an additional drink. We chose the smoked duck breast salad as starter and my mom had the Char-grilled chicken with sweet potato fries as her main and a iced lemon tea. The smoked duck breast salad makes a good simple starter for us. My mom was happy with her main and the sweet potato fries were so yummy! The beef cheek tagliatelle consist of red wine & citrus braised beef cheek, mushroom, pasta and shallot oil. I love the juiciness and tenderness of the beef cheeks I had to try their coffee after hearing it is owned by Singapore's National Barista champ! As always, I love to see the latte art on my coffee and the sweetness was just right on my taste buds! This cafe has a very cosy ambience and I will definitely be back! :)…查看更多
