Can’t beat a good ol’ catch-up with friends over some divine nosh and a bottle of vino. In fact, our mate dates are a highlight of the week! And when scouring Singapore for a restaurant suitable for group dining, there’re a few things high on our hit-list. Firstly, the food needs to be top-notch (there’re a lot of tastebuds to please). Secondly, the ambience needs to be spot-on; not too crowded, but equally not too quiet (because, let’s be honest, after a few drinks there will be raucous banter). And thirdly, you don’t want to break the bank (living in the world’s most expensive city means we’re always on the hunt for top nosh at affordable prices!). Good news: Opus Bar & Grill at Hilton Singapore on Orchard Road has got a stonking steak deal going on right now that we think ticks all the boxes.
Gourmet grub? Ding! Serving up some of Australia’s finest beef from Rangers Valley, this steak will impress even the most discerning carnivores. Buzzy atmosphere? Ding! The restaurant is small enough to feel intimate, yet big enough to ensure there’s a buzz in the air (plus you can watch the chefs in action in the open kitchen for extra entertainment!). Value for money? Ding! Word on the street is that there are several wining and dining deals to be had every day of the week. Rally the troops; a feast is afoot!
The menu features several sharing dishes made for mate date dining, and with steak sourced from Australia’s Rangers Valley (these guys specialise in pure Black Angus and Wagyu cross-breeds; sounds like a winning genetic combo to us), your inner caveman will rejoice. For the ultimate indulgence, order the 1.2kg Rangers Valley Angus T-Bone ($120++). Seasoned with black lava sea salt and masterfully grilled over an open-flame charcoal grill, the unique smoky flavour will leave you salivating. Did we mention it has a marble score of 3+ (hello beautifully fatty, tender tenderloin and strip loin!)? The equally delicious 800g OP rib ($120++) is dry-aged in-house for 14 to 36 days, sounds delish! Both of these prime cuts are made for two to share.
If steak ain’t your thing, fret not! The menu also features a variety of alternative gastro creations from the land and sea. Not only that, the good peeps at Opus are committed to serving sustainable seafood (it’s the first resto in Singapore to be recognised with the Marine Stewardship Council certification!). We love the sound of MSC-certified Glacier 51 toothfish fillet served with charred leek ,broccolini and brown butter dashi; or 36-hour pork belly served with baby romaine, beetroot and ginger pumpkin puree; or hoisin and sesame glazed rack of lamb. A serious case of food envy is inevitable.
Those wine deals we mentioned earlier? When ordering any prime cut (from $58++), you’ll get a stellar deal on vino. Every Friday and Saturday, expect a 50% discount on every bottle, and from Sunday to Thursday, enjoy a two-hour free flow on red and white wine. What’s more, between 7pm and 9pm daily be sure to make the most of the Opus Bar one-for-one Happy Hour deal on beers, spirits, and wines, by the glass. And from now until 30 June pop by to indulge in Mojito Madness; there’s a selection of handcrafted Mojitos to try out. Cheers to that!
Honeycomber deal!
Round off that date with a sweet treat on the house! When making a reservation, quote HoneySteak30, and the first 30 of you will receive a complimentary dessert of grilled honey pineapple. Nom!
