Decent Eurasian food with authentic flavours and decent sized portions. The dishes are well-prepared, with a nice balance of spices and home-cooked taste that really stands out. I’ve tried a few of their signature items, and most of them were flavourful and satisfying — great comfort food that reminds me of traditional family-style cooking.

The atmosphere is simple but cozy, and the staff are generally friendly. Overall, it’s a nice spot if you’re craving honest, hearty Eurasian cuisine without the fuss.

Absolutely love this place! The oxtail stew was the highlight – rich, flavourful and melts in your mouth! (A little spicy though! But in a good way ) The service was also warm and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Quentin’s Eurasian Restaurant
The place
Nestled within the Eurasian Heritage building in the serene Joo Chiat estate, Quentin’s Eurasian Restaurant offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life. It’s calm, compliments the rich heritage and homestyle flavours of Eurasian cuisine. The deco, although a trifle dated, was nonetheless refined, in a retro and understated way. This is probably one of the very few truly Eurasian restaurant in Singapore.
The food
Eurasian cuisine is a fusion of European (mainly Portuguese) and Asian (mainly Malay and Indian) food.
Pasteis de Bacalhau ($15.80): deep fried salted cod fish cakes served with cod pickle sauce. The taste was delicious, although the texture was a bit soft for my liking.
Sambal Terong ($12.20) – fried egg plant in a spicy mix of shallots, chilly paste and dried shrimps. It was delicious, full of umami and has a nice spicy kick.
Roast Pork Belly ($18.80) – the slow cooked pork belly, served with pork gravy and achar, has a nice bite, although not very different from those at an average roast meat hawker stall.
Pork Semur ($23.60): A fragrant pork stew, which went well with the accompanied rice.
Estrella Damm draught beer ($8.60 for half pint) – the beer tasted refreshing, went well with the food, though not particularly outstanding.
The service – the service was efficient and attentive. The meal was preceded by a serving of keropok (prawn crackers) accompanied by a chilly dip, which was a nice touch.
The verdict
It you have not tried Eurasian food before, this is a good place to try the cuisine.
