Rochester, Singapore

An Excellent Assurance

One Rochester is truly one of a kind. An independent gastro bar situated in the stunning surroundings of a former heritage bungalow, it is like nowhere else in Singapore.

 

From the extensive wine menu (more than 280 to choose from) to the unique cuisine created by Chef Reif (who has worked with such luminaries as Gordon Ramsay and Jean Paul Laquin), everything about this secluded haven says unpretentious sophistication.

 

Once the sun goes down, One Rochester comes to life. Unlike many one-dimensional establishments, the bungalow setting means that there are different themed areas to choose from – from the atmospheric library to the breezy balcony and to the in-house pastry bar.

 

But perhaps the biggest draw are the gardens. Softly illuminated and kept cool with unobtrusive fans, these lush seating areas offer seclusion amidst the calming greenery.

 

As well as offering gourmet tapas, Chef Reif has unveiled a more formal dining concept. Set to the side of the bungalow in the gardens, this intimate area offers a modern European menu with a suggestion of Asian flair.

 

Spirit Of Independence Set in a colonial house amidst lush vegetation, this bar and restaurant is a real home away from home. As with the rest of One Rochester, service standards are a signature, with attentive and friendly staff knowledgeable about the food and the drinks available.

 

The versatility of the venue means that it is also a favorite for events – from weddings to product launches. Whether it’s for a small gathering of friends or for entertaining important business clients, One Rochester has the perfect solution tailor-made to your needs. Described by Time Out as one of Singapore’s “best kept secrets” and by Forbes as “one of the top ten restaurants in Singapore”… we can assure you that your night will be an excellent one.
