You know when you go somewhere and within 5 minutes you can relax because you've picked a winner. From a handshake and a warm welcome from Paolo to a delicious glass of Limoncello after the meal, this was an excellent experience. Our enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable sommelier directed us to some top quality wines at reasonable prices. We all chose the degustation or gourmet menus and the food was just sensational.
I went for an ala-carte lunch with my family around 2 and had made a reservation.
i treated myself to something nice with my sister the other day. We headed to otto ristorante at red dot for some nice dessert. I ordered their strawberry crème brulee. It was so heavenly good. the custard inside is so smooth and delicate. It is not too sweet as well. On top they caramelise the custard. Love the crunch. The balance out the flavours, they add strawberries on top. the strawberries are a little sourish so it balanced out the sweetness of the crème brulee.
We went for a set lunch @ Otto & was certainly value for money
For starter i had wild mushroom , mushrooms with a light cream sauce wrapped in filo pastry. The mushrooms were very moreish,this was a good start.
& for main i had the salmon.the light smoked salmon turned out quite medium well , it tasted good but would’ve been much better if it had been a bit more rare.
For dessert i hadice cream ,Is quite decent ,not bad
service was excellent & the meal still made me want to go back for more.
Overall i rate 8/10
Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Alba White Truffle season is here!
The insane craving that couldn’t go away started after I read ST’s article on it. Many restaurants in Singapore are offering luxurious special menus and so far, I think Otto’s is the best priced. And I may be a little biased here, but I know that I can always count on Otto for a great meal. And I’m glad I wasn’t proven wrong =)
The last time I got so excited over an eggy dish was at Bistro Du Vin last year when Chef Marie was in town.
Gosh, this scrambled egg with blue swimmer crab ($19++) is to-die-for. Like, seriously. Texture was incredible, smooth and not overtly creamy, with big chunks of sweet crab meat, and the morsels of aromatic funghi added such a lovely burst of intense flavour to it.
I get hungry just writing, thinking, and looking at it!
I super love the Atlantic cod tagliata with porcini mushroom crust and creamed baby spinach ($40++) as well! The same weighing, shaving and weighing routine for another 2 grams of heaven was done and I had me a huge slab of tender fatty fish that literally melted in my mouth.
Desserts was a nice surprise. The crème brulee looks innocently enough, yes? But looks are deceiving. Underneath the layer of caramelized sugar is scrumptiously silky white truffle-scented custard cream! A little sweet, a little savoury, this weird combination actually works.

they offer elegant and effortless taste through a beautifully considered white line and black wood interior which pretty much tells their reputation. most exciting culinary expedition it is here.
Otto is a restaurant I can easily love.
It’s not just the superb food; it’s the seductive combination of classy ambience, relaxed vibe and excellent service, all delivered within the elegant-contemporary restaurant decked in light hues of cream and white. To my delight, our waiter doesn’t mumble and speaks clearly without rambling on at a breakneck speed (unlike many other restaurants I’ve been to) while introducing each dish knowledgeably. Great, lunch is already off to a good start!
The 3 course set lunch menu ($35++) changes every week and always updated promptly (I know cuz I check every other week just to salivate over the menu haha) on their website.
Otto offers 4 different varieties of bread and the one topped with onions (standing tall and proud at the back) is the best out of the lot. It helps that I’m partial to onions too.
The starter is so me: smooth, not-too-salty smoked Scottish salmon with ultra crispy croutons and slightly coarse chickpea hummus with a distinct sourish tang. So many different textures and flavours, all in one bite!
I had my main changed to the Atlantic cod “Tagliata†(supplement $15++) from the ala carte menu and she’s one gorgeous chick fish! Leaning sexily on a bed of spinach and adorned with a black olive crust and sundried tomato pesto, she’s amazingly tender and delicate. Gosh, I love fatty fish!
All I have to say for desserts is ‘meh’. But I’ll gladly close one eye to it since it’s a set lunch after all (adjusted expectations) and the lovely courses previously have already made me a happy girl.
Coffee panna cotta served with white chocolate and grappa “nonino†sauce. FYI, grappa = an Italian grape-based brandy. Which I can’t detect at all, hmm.
“Otto is a restaurant I can easily love�
I’ve changed my mind. I already love Otto.
