Competition among hotel restaurants in Singapore is fierce, but the newly opened Cygnet at QT Singapore is quickly standing out as a vibrant Manhattan-style steakhouse. Helmed by award-winning British-born chef Sean Connolly, Cygnet marks his entry into Singapore’s dining scene with a menu that emphasizes quality and authenticity. Carnivores will delight in premium offerings like the Tajima Japanese Wagyu Rump, Australian Grass-Fed Ribeye, and Connolly’s signature Duck Fat Roast Potatoes—each dish showcasing top-tier produce and bold flavors. For dessert, diners can indulge in either rich or lighter options, including a chocolate orange tart, pistachio soufflé, or a selection of world-class cheeses.
The restaurant’s atmosphere blends old-world charm with modern flair. As guests step in, they are greeted by an Art Nouveau-inspired setting, complete with pixelated palm motifs and elegant tiled designs. The menu is bold yet refined, featuring simple but expertly crafted dishes such as juicy scotch steaks and pan-seared snapper with lemon. The attention to detail extends to the drinks menu as well, offering a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits, from iconic labels to innovative young producers. Pairing oysters with a crisp Sémillon, for example, creates a memorable dining experience.
For those seeking a more creative twist, Cygnet’s New York-inspired cocktails offer a fresh take, with the option to enjoy a cheeky bump of caviar alongside your apéritif. Whether indulging in decadent desserts or toasting to new horizons as the lights dim, Cygnet provides a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that promises a golden experience at any hour in the Lion City.
