Restaurant Arras - Wonderland v2.0

As I have already done a full review on Restaurant Arras v1.0 at Welsh Bay, this will be mostly a picture post. Nevertheless I have to say I’m head-over-heels with Restaurant Arras v2.0 at Clarence St. The food is exceptional, menu much more comprehendible (those of you who have been to Arras v1.0 would know what I'm talking about), service impeccable, and all I think about after tonight is their undefeatable petit fours!!

The well lit and spacious dining area. The large 
table is for the wine and cutlery (in the drawers). 

The beautiful napkin ring

Friendly advice: Asides their 3 course carte menu ($90 pp) and degustation menu ($140 pp), be sure to check out their daily menu that changes every couple of days depending on availability (two courses for $50, three courses for $70, coffee/tea and Arras petit fours for an additional $12). The restaurant manager and wait staff are brilliant and genuine, so let they know what you’re after and I’m sure they will amaze you with what they can do for you.

  2. Hi Joey,
    Yes, I definitely think they’re excelling. To me the new location is much more accessible, I can’t wait to go back again!

    Hi Helen,
    Our eyes literally brightened up when they brought out the spectacular tray.
    Our affable waiter insisted that we take as much as we wanted and pointed out a couple we just had to try.
    It makes the whole experience extra fun and special!
