The Restaurant is located in a very inconspicuous street right next to Raffels Hotel. The food was amazing starting from the appetizer to the dessert. The only thing to complain is that there was no wine below 400$ on the list. Of course it is a luxury restaurant, but I find it slightly exaggerated. The Restaurant is furnished tastefully, maybe...

Every once in a while you get an evening where everything comes together nicely for a faultless dinner. Excellent service from a super attentive server who made sure we did not miss out on anything from introducing the menu, to the excellent wine recommendations from Gunther's manager and resident expert, to a personal stop-by from the chef extraordinaire himself, all...

Went for lunch. Set menu was good (a la carte is available too). Food was good, service excellent. All in all lunch is a good way to experience the place (albeit the portions are quite small).... dinner would be a lot more expensive.

Their house wines by the glass didn't catch my... More

We visited with a couple friend of ours during the Singapore restaurant week. The starter which was angel hair pasta with very tasty tomato and mozzarella was devine with a touch of truffle oil. This was followed by grilled tenderloin which was very tasty and succulent. The best part was that if you buy a bottle of champagne or wine... More

Excellent food and service. The layout of the restaurant is interesting, segmented so that it's not noisy even though you are seated fairly close, still one is able to have a conversation without feeling like u need to shout. They have quite a lot of specials, it's very worthwhile to hear and ask about them, we ended up having 4... More

been here twice wthin a month, once for lunch and once for dinner. fantastic food, every dish is sumptuos, and just the right amount. pricey ala carte but more affordable set menu. nothing to rave about the plain decor. the service is good, though our server was a little forgetful. must try: wagyu beef carpaccio, angel hair pasta, iberico pork,...

Gunther's is simply amazing, a hidden gem.. Reservation is easy and efficient, they get back to you promptly. The atmosphere and decor is calm and lush. The wait staff are efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. They had the same menu when I went both times (few months apart) but I think this is the norm for most of the fine dining... More

the whole experience was fantastic. from the ambience to the tableside romance to the chef coming out to say hi. the oysters were amazing, making me visualise the sea and shucking the oyster on board a ship. the lamb was superbly done, with the crispiness of the skin making it truly memorable. pricey but highly recommended.
