FROM LEISURELY LUNCHES TO ELEGANT EVENINGS AT THE DEMPSEY COOKHOUSE AND BAR
Amid the lush greenery of COMO Dempsey, Singapore’s lifestyle enclave for dining, fashion and culture, The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar offers a relaxed yet refined setting away from the city’s pace. From weekday lunches and weekend gatherings to cocktails and dinner after dark, the restaurant lends itself to a variety of occasions.
Opened in 2017 by chef and restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten, The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar brings together French culinary technique with vibrant Asian influences. The result is food that is sophisticated without being overly formal, fitting naturally into Dempsey’s easygoing dining scene.
A Contemporary Take on French and Asian Flavours
Jean-Georges’ cooking draws on classic French technique, while ingredients such as ginger, lime, chilli and herbs bring brightness and Asian influences to the menu. Among the signatures is Crispy Salmon Sushi, paired with chipotle mayonnaise and soy glaze. Wood Fired Tiger Prawns, Yuzu Kosho Marinade and Lime offer another vibrant option, while Pepper Crusted Wagyu Beef Tenderloin is accompanied by carrots and miso mustard.
Egg Caviar with Vodka Whipped Cream
For something more indulgent, the caviar selection includes Egg Caviar with Vodka Whipped Cream, bringing together rich, delicate flavours in a refined yet understated preparation.
Alongside the à la carte selection, diners can opt for a three-course set lunch, with choices across starters, mains and desserts. In the evening, a three-course set dinner offers another way to explore the menu, with the option of a wine pairing. The set menus suit both a leisurely midday meal and a longer dinner.
Cocktails continue the menu’s vibrant approach to flavour. The Cucumber Martini combines gin with Japanese cucumber, lemon and mint, while the Ginger Margarita pairs reposado tequila and Cointreau with ginger and lime. Other choices include the Yuzu Vodka Highball, the tropical Mojito Tropicale and the fruit-forward Passion Fruit Paloma.
Crispy Salmon Sushi
