Description: With creativity and imagination we have transformed the dining experience. Chefs in show kitchens present a multi-cultural cooking theatre. At any time of the day select from cuisine ranging giant baskets of fruits bring bursts of colour; the wine bar itself is a vivid backlit pink. The space is transitionary, designed for changing moods from muted to energetic up to the fresh and airy garden views. You could dine here every night of the week and the only similarity in experience would be the excellent quality of the food.

Our son arrived and ordered breakfast. Next thing a fresh fruit platter arrived and then finally his breakfast of salmon bagels and a salad! The... More

Went to melt on last evening of holiday totally beautiful food beautifully presented. So many choices difficult to know where to start! The only problem is getting full to quickly . If you do not eat any where else in Singapore make sure you eat here!

Special thanks to Anshul and team for their excellent service. We enjoyed ourself with the buffet dinner. The seafood were fresh the chef keep replenish the food. But we were disappointed about the pork belly which the skin were soggy compare to 2 years ago. We like the dessert especially the wafers and the wide spread of fruits.

A disappointing brunch at another 5* hotel reminded me of how amazing the Melt is. It is by far favourite champagne brunch is Singapore. From the atmosphere of the restaurant to the quality of the food served, it’s simply a delight. From the moment you arrived, are ushered to your table and glass filled with champagne to when the staff... More

It is my 4th visit and I celebrated with my friend our birthdays. Loved the range of food. Found it to be more value for money to go during lunch. Liked the ambience which is clean and quiet. Will go back again.
