Vis-A-Vis French Dining Restaurant

My aunty & uncle were down to visit their children in Singapore. Wanting to catch up, they and my cousins invited us for dinner at Vis-A-Vis.

I must say this restaurant stood out because of their waiters. When it was time to order, one of their waiters enthusiastically recommended us some dishes and gave us a history of the dishes. There are the classical dishes which have been there since the opening of the restaurant and there are dishes from the 'modern menu' as he put it which have been introduced recently.

Then, another waiter (they both look pretty similar that I had to take a second look) came with the same high spirits and explained more about the restaurant itself and the dishes, many of which he created. (I'm guessing he is also the boss).

We had escargots for entrees and it melted into my mouth. For main course, among us, we had the duck, pigeon and pork. I must say it was delicious. Having been to Europe on a business trip recently, I was a bit worried that I might be having too much meat, but the portion wasn't too large and was just right for me.

The best part of the dinner was definitely the desserts.

We had :

Chocolate Torte (Description from Menu: Warm torte that oozes with coffee paste, paired with banana gratinated with Tia Maria sabayon served with homemade rum & raisin ice-cream). This was personally my favourite. I forgot the exact order but I think we were told to eat the torte together with the ice-cream. But better to double confirm.


Lemon Soufflé (Description from Menu: Fluffy citrus meringue baked in crepe paired with baked plums complement by tangy yuzu sherbet). The waiter said this item has been on the menu since the very beginning. Am still wondering where I can get a fork like that. We were told to eat the whole strawberry at one go.


Baked Alaska (Description from Menu: Rich vanilla ice cream & puree of strawberries coated with meringue flambé with Grand Marnier). The flames made the whole dessert more exciting. Liked this too. Yum. Very good.

Each of us were also given home made dark and white chocholate and they were tantilizing to my taste bud.

The restaurant isn't that big so I suggest that a prior booking is made. I also understand from the waiters that they do home orders. For more details, visit http://www.vis-a-vis.com.sg/.

Price - 3.5/5

It was a treat so I do not know the exact price.

But I think it's cheaper than other French Fine Dining
restaurants but pricier than your average restaurant.

Be prepared to pay an average of $50 -$100/pax)
