Winestone at Novotel Singapore on Stevens

Winestone is a Modern-European restaurant, late-night bar and wine retail store, serving affordable wines and authentic European cuisine. It is located within Novotel Singapore on Stevens, catering to both locals and expatriates around the neighbourhood, as well as international guests and foodies in Singapore.

Initially known for their Mediterranean fare, Winestone has recently refreshed their menu to inject a Modern-European twist. The new menu is reimagined and uplifted with 15 new
items, crafted and created by Chef Eugene Li, the newly appointed head chef of Winestone, and his team. Chef Eugene has over 10 years of culinary experience, having earn his stripes at restaurants such as Joel Robuchon, Black Bird Bar & Grill, Brisbane Australia, and Dempsey Cookhouse, Singapore.

Over the past year, the passionate culinary team continuously fine-tuned the signature hearty Winestone dishes, while experimenting on new recipes to satisfy guest palates. The new menu includes an array of appetisers, dishes from the farm, dishes from the sea, a taste of Italy and signature burgers.

During a dinner tasting, we sampled the following dishes from the new menu:

Mediterranean Meze – a variety of fragrant truffle butter, fresh tomato pesto and fine tapenade spread served with handmade Lebanese bread
Fattoush – mixed salad dressed with fresh tomatoes, pomegranate pulps, radish and olives
Cremini Mushroom – diced porcini mushroom with a dash of truffle oil mixed to a rich creamy texture, $14
Rigatoni Prawn – fresh prawns with rigatoni, smoked-roasted capsicums and mixed with rich-tempered tomato parmesan sauce, $26
Ragout Tagliatelle – classic homemade ground beef ragout mixed with tagliatelle and topped with grated parmesan cheese, $25
Beef Tenderloin 250g (sampling half portion) – 150-days grain-fed MS2+ beef tenderloin evenly-seared and served with foie gras, vine tomatoes and asparagus with a side of handmade green peppercorn sauce, $87

Pan-seared Turbot Fish – golden brown pan-seared turbot fish glazed with balsamic vinegar, served with braised endives, oven-roasted shallots and crispy chickpeas, $32
Chocolate Fondant – soft chocolate cake with a rich and creamy chocolate sauce served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, $14

This was my first time dining at Winestone and their Mediterranean signatures like the homemade Lebanese bread and Fattoush salad didn’t disappoint. Mediterranean cuisines are known for their selection of freshly baked breads, relying on a natural mix of nuts, fruits and greens to present a colourful plate. On this note, Winestone’s starters ticked all the right boxes.

The pasta dishes are not typical of Mediterranean themed restaurants, but were delectable additions to give a wider selection to the Modern-European menu concept. Both pasta dishes were reasonably good and taste of homemade goodness with the right texture and flavours.

For the mains, the tenderloin serving was huge for a half-serving. The full 250g should be enough for sharing for two pax for lighter eaters if you find the $87 price tag a tad steep. Having a slab of prime steak served together with a slice of foie gras on top is downright decadent and a sinful indulgence I wouldn’t mind digging into. For a healthier, lighter alternative, there are pan-seared cod fish and turbot fish alternatives.

For those who like to drink while savouring your meal, the restaurant offers a large selection of affordable wines which the wait staff would be able to recommend and pair for your dining enjoyment.
