The Kitchen Table

The Kitchen Table is the all-day restaurant at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, on Level 1 of the hotel at 21 Ocean Way. It looks out over the marina at Sentosa Cove, where rows of yachts are moored. It serves breakfast and lunch, dinner later in the week and a buffet brunch on Sundays.

The cooking mixes local flavours with modern comfort food from around the world. The mood is relaxed, and the dress code is casual.

What to eat

Breakfast is a buffet with a wide range of international dishes, according to recent hotel reviews. At lunch, the menu pairs local favourites with familiar Western comfort food.

Dinner is a buffet built around a live grill station. On Fridays and Saturdays it is called Fire Up the Grill. Recent menus have included:

• From the grill: Angus beef sirloin, lamb leg in chimichurri, peri-peri chicken and slipper lobster with garlic butter.
• Indian barbecue: tandoori prawns, chicken tikka masala, kadai paneer and naan.
• Local and Asian: Cantonese roast duck and pork, plus a noodle counter with bak kut teh and seafood laksa.
• Cold dishes: oysters and other seafood on ice, sushi and sashimi, smoked salmon, salads, cheeses and cold cuts.
• Desserts: cakes, crème brûlée, a chocolate fountain and soft-serve ice cream.

On Thursdays, a Reef and Beef edition of the buffet pairs Angus sirloin with a king prawn or a lobster tail. Its seafood on ice includes oysters, snow crab legs, mussels and scallops. Thursday is also movie night, with a family-friendly film shown outdoors by the marina.

Sunday brunch

Sunday brunch is the big meal of the week. The spread runs across The Kitchen Table and the neighbouring Skirt, where a grill cooks meats such as lamb T-bone. Expect oysters and snow crab, sashimi, Cantonese roast meats, local noodles, cheeses and plated desserts. Coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and mocktails are included. After brunch, diners can use the hotel's WET Deck pool for the rest of the afternoon.

The setting

The dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows, so it is bright by day, and there is an outdoor terrace by the marina. The terrace can get warm in the afternoon, so ask for an indoor table if you prefer air conditioning.

Good to know before you go

• Booking: reserve through the restaurant's website or by phone, especially for Sunday brunch.
• Children: the dinner buffets charge less for children, and young children eat free.
• Getting there: HarbourFront is the nearest MRT station. From there, a taxi or ride-hailing car is the easiest way to reach Sentosa Cove.
