The Providore Raffles Place

I came to know about this place many years ago and the food was fantastic. This time round, it still is. The grass fed burger and fries were well executed. The fries are cut from a potato. The beef was moist and tender. The coffee bean was robust and strong. I also had apple crumble pie which was very organic in flavor. However what put me off, was the attitude of some of the staff. It must be the way we dressed as compared to the other patrons. I asked for a table of 4 and was asked to wait outside. However we were not ushered in even though there was a table available. And when we went in again, there was silence till I asked the staff on the situation. Almost waited for an hour in this fashion. Wont be coming back for a while.

Ordered the English breakfast and it was thoroughly disappointing. Everything was unsalted. The bacon was the wrong type to be cooked crispy so it felt like I was eating jerky. Scrambled eggs were just a tad over cooked so it wasn’t slightly runny. They used a fancy butter but the butter just didn’t taste nice. The sausage was boring, I’ve had better packaged sausages bought from supermarket. Oh, and food wasn’t hot on arrival so by the time I buttered my toast, everything was cold, which made the food even less tasty. No where near worth $24.50++. And they charge for water, per head. Only things stopping this from being a 1 star is the pleasant environment and the service was prompt. Sorry, cut off 1/3 of the egg before I took the photo. Edit: Decided to give this an edit to acknowledge the restaurant’s reply. Good to know someone’s “listening”.

I think the food is quite overpriced for the quality honestly. Portion wise is big enough to fill you to the brim. I think for the price, service could be a little better? Felt like many of the staffs are relatively new/ they are part timers. Did not automatically refill water, clear plates etc. My friend was supposed to surprise me with the waiter bringing out the bday cake but the waiters have to be reminded like 2 - 3 times till I kinda found out?

Great location in the middle of Raffles Place. Warm and cosy. The ambiance can be a little noisy if you want to have a coronationm I need to lean in to hear what the person was saying. The food looks good on camera📷. However, for me I did not like it. Firstly the hot chocolate (with vanilla bean) was horrible for me. I did not even finish a hot chocolate for the first time. The fries was pretty plan, the mayo sauce did add some flavour, while the chilli sauce was 👎. The latte was 👍. Overall good location by the drink was a turn off for me. Who know you might like it. Do check them out.
