7-course Fine Dining

Most helpful reviews

Glad I finally tried Joie - a vegetarian restaurant at the top of Orchard Central.

It’s fine dining in a rather ‘local’-style, and seeing truffle mushrooms and mushroom risottos in the menu initially deterred me from actually making a booking. My experience today exceeded expectations -our server Yen was so friendly and engaging, the overall service team was wonderful and friendly; food was executed very well, great selections to choose from, well-priced, beautifully plated, delicious, and generally pretty healthy and clean. I would definitely want to return there and also recommend this to people.

A fantastic, one of a kind gastronomic experience!
Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. Service

is fast and pleasant. Food is mouth watering.
Can’t wait to be back again!

Second time at Joie after one year and it’s still good! Love the sincere service

and the effort they put into the cooking, presentation and overall experience. Here’s their 7 course lunch menu, priced slightly higher at $50ish per head, very similar to their 6 course regular lunch menu. They were buzzing on Xmas eve lunch but if you’re looking for somewhere to have a great dining experience, this is worth a visit! #joierestaurant #plantbasedoptions

this wasn’t too expensive for a fine dining experience i think and the service was

good! they are vegetarian but they do provide you with a vegan menu, it honestly wasn’t anything super amazing or mind blowing but the food wasn’t bad at all, though for some dishes i felt like they just tasted like truffle and nothing else? i remember liking the tempura though and the dishes were obviously well presented #jaan

[Disclaimer: I hate posting this type of reviews of a vegan restaurant, but in this

case I think it’s fair since this restaurant promotes itself as fine dining, which lead me to book it for a special occasion.]

As much as I really wanted to love this place, I don’t think the ambiance aligns with their high end cuisine.

Overall, food is very good value for the quality you get. The presentation of each dish is very nice, and the enthusiastic waiters attentive. I also love their efforts to bring high end vegan/vegetarian food to the SG restaurant scene.

Having said that, the restaurant ambiance and decor is quite sterile and a bit of a let down if they want to be seen as Fine dining.

I went for dinner with my husband for a special occasion. They sat us in a shared side room which looked like a bright office meeting room. It all felt a little like an airport lounge, from the cardboard lady at the entrance, the purple neon lights, the (very) bright lighting and retro glass walls. Unfortunately the place doesn’t feel quite right for a special celebration despite the great food. I do hope they improve the ambiance as this place could easily be amazing.

A great way to enjoy a fusion Japanese / French in the company of friends.

Not very filling but you do it for the experience.

The food is very tasty, but I kept asking myself why I was paying $50+

for this lunch while there are many other equally great but cheaper options. I recommend this if you're into the concept of fine dining and appreciate the atmosphere and service in addition to good food.

From being recognised in abillion’s #sgtop50 in 2020 to being one of the worst #finedining

experiences I’ve ever had — omni or otherwise 🤮

For a place that prizes itself on its “innovative natural fare prepared with the freshest vegetables, fruits, and herbs” nothing I had was exceptionally fresh or new — #candobetter 🥱

Joie is perhaps not on the highest end of fine dining at S$78, and boy do they know it, but you’d at least expect them to have the basics down pat at this point. I cannot think of the last time I’ve had a #risotto executed so poorly — it was a rice soup at most. Second time in the last week for me 👇

Twice too did the staff attempt to serve us #nonvegan food in spite of our clearly indicating our preferences. No dairy, no eggs, no honey, and they clarified with us if we’re fine with #alliums (garlic & onions) only for it to not be present in our food anyways. What gives? 🙄

Honestly it’s about what’s expected from an establishment with half its menu containing #truffle. Like #cheese in a bad #mamak, truffle is the tool of unskilled chefs to make their course palatable 🤷‍♀️

I cleansed my palate at home later with some #edamame and leftover cold #instantnoodles from Koka 🍜

If you’re thinking of going here in the hopes they’ve improved, this review is dated 20th March 2024 by the way — #bringbackdates 📆

Thankfully I am not without recommendations to save your #datenight 💖 Consider instead the actually palatable cuisine & romantic ambience of Cultivate https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/singapore-cultivate-cafe-10313853 or the mouth watering offerings at Aniba https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/singapore-aniba-11347492 💥 Perhaps something traditional at LingZhi https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/singapore-lingzhi-vegetarian-liat-towers-10344127 or truly timeless and fresh at Artichoke https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/singapore-artichoke-10003642 🥬 Anything but here!

Individual scathing reviews of each dish to come later. I’ve got to get my content’s worth of that three hundred dollars I paid, haven’t I? 💸

Only 6 pics and I can’t remember what the other dish was! 🤣
Interesting meal.

Would definitely like to come back again.
I wasn’t impressed with one of my options. Which is the Tartare Platter au Naturel. Will not choose that next time. It’s the 3rd pic. Lacked flavour and was way too dry. Other than that, I enjoyed everything else.
