We had the chef surprise menu, but the chef came and chat with us. During this C19 my husband had 2 glasses of sant armettu white it as $20++ each. They charge us normal $52++ it was $80 per head after ++ the dishes were light n refreshing. Highly recommend, if you are around the corner. Btw it has one Michelin star since has retained it ever since. For 4 straight years!

We have been several times to this innovative Michelin-star-worthy restaurant. Rhubarb was awarded 1 Star in the inaugural Singapore Michelin Guide and has retained it each year since, which says something of it consistency and high standards. We had the Chef Surprise lunch memu, and again this time Chef Paul Longworth and his team exceeded our high expectation. Great value and service, and Chef Paul personally explained the main courses, which were all innovative well portioned and enjoyable. We will certainly be back soon. Highly recommended hidden gem!

Tastefully decorated restaurant in historical district of Singapore, which serves tastefully presented dishes too. Only available for dinner are set menus of 2 or 3 starters, mains and desserts. The taramasalata amuse bouches (not included) were delightful, following by simply divine prawns and salmon starters and Japanese scallops or veal for the mains. Dinner for 3 plus aperitifs and one bottle of wine cost us S$602.

While the food was generally good the experience was spoilt by an appalling lack of customer service from the manager to deal effectively with a genuine complaint. Opting for wine pairing to accompany the set menu we were served with a glass of wine that had a ridiculous level of sediment in the glass. Why the restaurant feels the need to squeeze every last drop of wine out of a bottle without decanting is beyond me. Even worse failing to deal with the matter either by taking off the bill , removing the service charge or even offering a free cup of coffee instead simply I’m trying my best is not befitting of a Michelin Star restaurant. There are better restaurants with far superior service. If you have a choice I highly recommend you avoid this one.

We went to Rhubarb for a lunch with high expectations. The mushroom emulsion was simply fantastic, as was the celeriac pasta. The mango coconut dessert was boring. We thought we might end up a bit hungry with the 3 course menu ($52), so opted for the 4 course omakase menu ($88). Now the omakase menu was 69% more expensive than the regular menu, so we expected that the restaurat would have done their math right, that the quality / quantity of the omakase menu would justify the higher price. Instead, we got 3 items from the main lunch menu with a little salad added on that wasn't particularly special. I can't imagine I paid 69% extra for a little salad. Something is very wrong. If you go here for lunch, skip the omakase - just stick with the 3 course lunch.

Dined in this intimate restaurant back in December, where the food and service were lovely, not to mention some of the best bread I've ever had.
Imagine my delight when they started offering a take away / delivery menu during the Singapore covid-19 circuit breaker. Savoured it during the first weekend, and it was so good. Nothing was lost with take away as compared to dining in at Rhubarb.
Totally enjoyable and would encourage everyone to try the takeout. It is important to show our support to good and talented people who make magic in the kitchen during these challenging times. Hoping that in the not-so-distant future, I would be able to dine there again.

The food itself here is quite good especially considering the total price. In most other places in Singapore, a similar meal would cost a lot more.
However, the rest of it is not up to Michelin standards. The dining room looks "basic" and the staff do not really explain the dish well. They largely tell you the name of the dish and few of the key ingredients - nothing else....no journey / story.
The chef does a brilliant job but really brought down by the staff who do not even appear energetic.

I had looked forward to this for a while but in the end it was nothing special and a bit of a disappointment.
The arrival was a bit shambolic and we were left just sitting in the dining room unattended for quite a time.
The amuse bouche was quite bland. The 1st starter of two prawns in a cucumber jelly was OK but the securing in place of the prawns using a blob ricotta was not a good idea as the prevalent taste was the cheese.
The scallop starter with a white chocolate garnish was served by the Chef, Mr. Longworth who explained his rationale in using the chocolate. Sound reasoning, BUT the whole dish was overpowered by using a sliver of pickled onion as the container for the garnish. Hence all that was discernible was pickled onion.
We ordered one of each of the mains. The pigeon was good, the fish was awful
It was not fresh and had a strong fishy smell. The whole concept of a fish in a "soup" relies on some taste, there was none.
I did point this out to Mr. Longworth and told him it was disappointing.
The dessert was nothing special
The wine chosen, on the recommendation of the sommelier, was Chateau Olivier Pessac-Leognan., 2001. It was bland and fairly tasteless but the real kicker was that there was lot of sediment, so much so that the server had to abandon the small remains of the bottle as our glasses were full of sediment.
Poor storage maybe?
A real kicker was that it was my partners birthday the following day and they piped a message and applied a candle to the petit fours plate, this was not a birthday gesture as I noticed everyone else got the same platter, minus the greeting.
Service was odd in that there was no designated server for our table hence every single question was asked of us twice by two different servers.
A disappointment and I feel I would be unlikely to return.

Not such a great Michelin experience quite frankly. Premises don’t seem as polished as other high end restaurants.
Service took a fair bit of time, and wasn’t quite as expected - staff just quickly told us the name of the dish and left. I mean it really didn’t seem Michelin.
As for the food, this wasn’t really to our liking. The scallop and passion fruit combination just seemed like a total mismatch. The lamb was actually really bad with a very weak sauce - this was the first time we left food on the plate at a Michelin restaurant. Thumbs up to the truffle and celeriac dish.
Dessert was ok but actually felt really refreshing after what I would call a very mediocre meal.

Superb Fine Dining Service and a delicate, cozy food presentation. Chef Paul will explain dish and ends in pouring the sauce, such elegance! The taste is superb with all of the flavour combination and texture in your mouth. Joseph assisted our dining experience and really display professionalism and knowledge in the menu (ingredients, flavour etc)..

This is a small cosy restaurant which has just the right touch of elegance and minimalist decor... nothing too much just making the guests feeling comfortable.
Basically, you have two omakase sets to choose from for lunch and the difference between the 3 and 4 course omakase is the signature mushroom emulsion, which I went for as I wanted to go through the entire journey. In fact, the portion of the mushroom emulsion was way larger than I expected and I shared it with my guest as well. Rarely do we, or should we (?), say the portions are too large (especially for French cuisine) but this course really filled me up.
Other courses included the prawns as starter, beef as main course which my guests had but I had replaced it with pork instead.
The prawn had a freshness to it although I think it may be cooked slightly a bit more raw. I enjoyed my pork but I noticed my guest's beef was a bit tough as I saw them cutting it with some difficulty. I cannot comment on the quality as I didn't have the beef myself so, I'd leave that to other reviews to judge.
Overall, I was happy and satisfied with the food but the staff could be more attentive and ask us how the food was and maybe we can share our views on the beef.
No disappointment at all and it is a nice restaurant which I'd probably visit again.

Dined solo @ a table next to the kitchen, perfect as there’s nothing like having a ringside seat.
Opted for the 3 course Omakase set & was pleasantly surprised when a little complementary starter arrived, a crispy seaweed based wedge with fresh salmon & adorned with little zesty lemon balls.
The scallop was marinated in a fermented beetroot juice, soft & creamy in texture.
My main was Australian beef, cooked to perfection & plated with an interesting array of vegetables.
Desert was mouthwatering with the lemon curd, sorbet & of course rhubarb.
At the end of my dining a little surprise box appeared full of little treats.
The waiters were discreet, hospitable, knowledgeable about the wine list & made sure there was an ample supply of fresh assorted breads.
Complements to the chef/director Paul Longworth & your team for the sensational dining experience I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Deserved it’s one star Michelin food serving the contemporary French cuisine. Great job Chef Paul! Great dining experience with set menu of 2 or 3 appetiser. The main course we had are between lamb or tooth fish. Quite a large serving for the main course and it is just enough for most of Asian stomach. The tooth fish is exceptionally tasty with beetroot and passionfruit ! The fried barramundi fish cooked in the corn soup with the sea shell was really nice. Exception the lamb as it still has strong gamey odour which I don’t typically like it. The meat kind of hard to my liking and less flavour probably the loin part of the lamb being used which leaner meat. The wine selection mostly from France label and you can pick a good one. The dessert was great even I don’t really fancy sweet stuff but I wipe it all! Choose the burgundy wine tonight and it was really good to pair with my food tonight. Friendly waiter to attend to you and the ambience is cosy! Paul Chef surprise us to make us sweets to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Thanks you all!

First dinner out post-circuit breaker, have been meaning to try this restaurant for years but difficult to get a booking. Glad I jumped on the chance when restaurants were allowed to reopen here. Excellent and filling 5-course dinner, enjoyed every course. Thoughtful and well balanced, hope to return here again - menu changes monthly. Barramundi popcorn was a real treat, and the two mains currently (Quail and Toothfish) were flavourful. We did not opt for the cheese dessert, but the coconut mango was just right, not too sweet, complimented well with the sorbet.

A wonderful addition to our gastronomic tour of Singapore.
Our 3rd Michelin in Singapore (2nd this year) and definitely the best of the bunch.
The dining room isn’t large, but that is a bonus. Big dining rooms usually equates to a less personal service and a louder atmosphere. This was a similar sized dining space to Restaurant Gordon Ramsey, with a great view into the open kitchen. There’s also a room upstairs but I didn’t see this.
The menu was fixed with 3 starters a main and a dessert (with optional cheese plate which I took).
Service was very good and very personal. The sommelier (Joseph) was both great conversation and gave good advice. A very nice guy.
Chef Paul was leading the kitchen and also served and explained a couple of dishes to us, a very nice personal touch.
The other dishes were served by the waiters who knew the dishes well and talked us through each course.
As the title says, a little gem of a restaurant and we will definitely be back.
