Moosehead Kitchen-Bar

Before coming, i tried to look for the menu and I’m not exaggerating to say there are 4-5 different menus on each platform, including the menu on their own website!!! Latest update : they are now charging for gst and service charge. So don’t be surprised. So we still went. It was a crowded full house on Friday night. Luckily we got reservation so getting seats was no problem. Staff was very very friendly. Food wise, sadly the taramasalata was a huge let down... it was pink, tasted fishy and too salty, pita was not hot. But food got better from there... we also ordered bacon dates, cheese burger, pork jowl, and pistachio cake. The star of the meal was the burger, juicy and flavourful. However, all in all, we felt the food was creative and flavours were there but not cooked to perfection yet... Price was okay for such prime location. I would probably go back for the burgers only when there is some promo.

The menu is quite small and many of the dishes are unavailable. Food is better than expected though !! Love the grilled cauliflowers and the barramundi. Probably only the feta in the Greek salad could be of better quality and better beverage/ drinks.. however overall still great.

Can only rate this place properly as a watering hole (bar) rather than eatery as haven’t eaten here properly. And on that front no complaints, centrally located and ideal for a stop off before dinner in the surrounding area. What food we did sample, was pretty good, had the kofte, sauce was a good proportion to the meat and executed well. Would say that the menu could do with more “snack” or small plate variety. Atmosphere 4/5 Sat night very busy and bustling, good vibe to it and even seated outside, does good job at disguising feel you’re next to a main road. Value 4/5 (if you get an outdoor seat) Happy hour is good value, but looks like they’ve recently changed this to “outdoor seating only” and considering only 2 tables out there it’s a bit tough to gauge if you’re going to benefit from that if you’re planning to just walk in for drinks. Having said that however understand why they do this given that they were full with diners at the time we were there (around 7pm on sat) Service 4/5 Quick, friendly.

First time been here. Nothing leads to disappointment, in fact, we never expected the food taste was beyond our expectation, especially it looks like a bar to us. Like Pork Jowl the most - it’s super tender and made me think of having Kobe Beef. In terms of service, staffs are polite and actively check on their customers on e.g. if they need to top up the water for them. Chefs are serious on the food presentation - saw they thrown away the lava cake as the chocolate filling spillover the plate. In sum, we will definitely come back here again and try out their remaining items. Am hoping them to serve proper meal though (Pork Jowl with rice etc.), not sure it’s because of the night time when they only serve sides and drinks?

Moosehead Kitchen & Bar is a cozy bistro located at Telok Ayer. It serves tantalizing and satisfying dishes that tickles my palate. Here are the items I had tried during one dinner seating with my friends. Ordered according to my preference and category. Main Course + Sides 1) Pork Jowl is juicy, soft, and mouth-watering. 2) Grilled Squid is surprisingly soft and fresh. It does not have the rubbery texture like most places does... so this is a thumbs up for me 3) Hummus paired with Pita Bread is a good in-between snack to break away from the heavy flavoured main items. 4) Butternut Pumpkin Ravioli is savory and the texture is just right. 5) I remember the Crab Cake to be moist, soft and a bouncy feel. 6) The BBQ Pork Rib is a little too sweet for my tastebud. 7) Roast Cauliflower could be a little bit softer to have it melt in the mouth. This feels like I am eating it slightly raw. 8) Australian striploin marinated peppers and herb butter is a little lack-lustre. Won't recommend this... . Desserts: 1) Pistachio Cake is lovely with the nutty flavour 2) The Lava cake is not the best I had but it's definitely at the defacto standard. . If you are a user of @EntertainerSG, there's 1-for-1 main menu item! This place is in my favorite list and I'll be coming back here real soon!

Had lunch here with the family … while the service is good, the food is of mixed quality. We had Pulled pork burger - pretty good, not the best but good Grilled cauliflower - my fav, well grilled & love the seasonings Barramundi - good flavour with an interesting Asian twist … but the portion is rather small Pork ragu pasta - the handmade pasta is good but the pork ragu sauce tasted ‘watered down’ Another down side is the price - rather pricey for the portion & quality. Also surprised how small this place is … highly recommended to make reservation in advance.

Amazing amazing food! Would highly recommend the pork, as well as, gnocchi ❤️ It was like a burst of flavours and umami. Huge mixture of flavours that settled quite nicely on my tastebuds! The service was fantastic. One of those places where it’s busy but they still remember to replenish your water. Not sure how much I like the dim dim lights but overall experience was fantastic. I loved it and would definitely come back again!

Was recommended this place, and it didn't fail. Through the reviews and recommendation, we tried the ravioli and burger. Ordered the roasted cauliflower as well. Basically everything on the menu looks worth a try. The roasted cauliflower is really quite exceptional and the burger is succulent. The ravioli has a really interesting taste which springs some familiarity yet quite unable to pinpoint what is it. Didn't get to try the dates though it seems really good. Need to be back for more.

Great vibe, even better food! Apparently this is where chefs go for their grub. Indeed, I had a fabulous time trying their recommended dishes - feta cheese & pork scratchings to start. Followed by cauliflower and the chicken and ended with the beautifully cooked flank steak. Well done Moosehead !

Ok, let's set things straight first. First of all, I adore this place. It is one of my favorite places for eatery around the area. Not only is it creative in its offering, the ambiance of the place, quietly tucked in the corner of the street all comes together for an authentic food experience. But why is it 3? I don't know WHAT was going on this past Monday, but the service was wayy too slow. I know good food takes some time to be completed, but the service was borderline unbearable. Only because I really like Moosehead, I gave a 3, not 2. Also, the food that night was not as good as most other days I've visited. Bacon-wrapped dates - Must-have for first visitors. When I first heard of the name, honestly it wasn't too appetizing. But boy, was I wrong to underestimate the potential in dates. Extremely well-done combination of flavors (salty + creamy) and texture (bacon + softness in dates--almost taste like sweet potato filling). But even this was a bit salty for this night. Tzatziki with bread - Because the service was unbearably slow, we decided we'll order something that they walked passed us with, which looked good. Thus Tzatziki. I always judge the bread provided by the restaurant, whether complimentary or main. It comes across to me as the restaurant caring about the complete food experience, not compromising in quality and integrity of their food even at the very basic --which is bread. With that being said, I was impressed with the bread. But the Tzatziki, not so much. Salty--again. Beef tartare - I've had beef tartare in many places. The portion was rather generous (given that this is a tapas place) and the raw beef was well-seasoned and went extremely well with the crispy goodness. My favorite dish of the night. Bulgogi Chicken - Another classic at Moosehead. The name doesn't describe the taste too well, actually. (Me being Korean, can say it resembles nothing of Bulgogi) But it's really good. Again, on the salty side on this night. Iberico - Oh so well-done. This took the longest time, but so well-done, my friend. The sauce was good, the meat with the sauce was beautiful. Well-done. All in all, it was a disappointing night at Moosehead. Perhaps because I had high expectation, but then again, I don't think I would have been too impressed if I were a first time visitor that night, who didn't have any expectation.

We came here on a Wednesday night for dinner. Reservations are awkwardly timed, either between 6-6:30pm or 8:30-9pm. We walked in slightly past 8pm, and there were seats. Given the reviews, I expected Moosehead to be an innovative type of small plates place. We ordered the olives, the tzatziki and pita, roasted asparagus (daily special), roasted cauliflower, fried artichoke, fried pig's ears, bone marrow on sourdough, and the braised beef cheeks. Our food was served in that order too, one plate at a time. I'm not sure if the chef decided on an order, or it just came out that way. Everything was well cooked, although most dishes seemed a little incomplete. But at the very reasonable prices they are charging, experimental dishes are okay. Someone mentioned below that the food was salty. That review was from a while ago. I barely tasted the salt, even on dishes that can be expected to be salty. On hindsight, the chef's Australian background is very obvious in the food he makes -- a friend describes Australian cuisine as big on good produce, and letting the flavors speak for themselves. In the US, they call it Californian cuisine. Despite the effort to be creative, the chef tends towards classical and traditional flavors, a cosy instead of a surprising taste. The olives were marinated in citrus zest, which was a first for me. They were green olives, so they were milder, but I thought they were the mildest olives I have ever tasted. The tzatziki sauce had a strong dill flavor, and was chunkier than I am used to. It also tasted quite mild. I really enjoyed the flatbread. The roasted asparagus was perfectly done, served with a soft boiled egg and a puree of something (can't remember the menu). It was perfectly flavored and balanced. The roasted cauliflower was a large fist of caulifower, better roasted on one side than the other. The sauce contained miso, and other creamy things. The sauce was interesting, and went nicely with the roasted cauliflower, although it overwhelmed the cauliflower. It could have gone as nicely over potato. The fried artichoke was crisp on the outside, and flavorful on the inside, served with ricotta cheese and bits of random leaves. I think the ricotta went well with the artichoke, but the leaves didn't quite bring enough crunch to freshen up the dish (if that was the intention). The fried pig's ears were supposed to be spiced, but it didn't quite taste of anything strongly. It didn't have too much of a pork flavor, in case you were worried. It's served with a sauce that looked like mayonnaise, but tasted a lot lighter. While I thought it was good, the dish was lacking a certain oomph -- I think it would have been great to have the ultra crisp pig's ears with sauce and some kind of a shredded vegetable, like a slaw or even kimchi to bring a different texture and flavor to the dish. The bone marrow came on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, mixed in with anchovies and celeriac, all chopped up so you can't tell what you're eating but it all goes delightfully together. Despite the addition of anchovies, it wasn't too salty, and had only the faintest hint of the sea. This was probably my favorite dish in terms of complexity and flavor. I highly recommend it. The beef cheeks were nicely braised, and a good sized portion. It was well done, but lacked complexity. All in all, it was a fun dinner, more challenging than the usual restaurant in Singapore, especially at the price point. I enjoyed analyzing and thinking about my food, which doesn't happen often. It's a good restaurant that makes you stop and think about what you're eating, and appreciate the care that the chef took in creating the food.

I've been here for lunch and dinner, and it gets packed, so call to reserve a place. This is a small plates sort of place, so order a few plates to share. I like, like, LIKE the bacon-wrapped dates here, aka devils on horseback. They are beautiful together, with pine nuts sprinkled on top. Oh, YUM! The rest of the starters like the crispy pig's ears, garnered more positive vibes with my friend than me. The asparagus is really good too, what can I say? We had the chargrilled sea bass with eggplant, and while I didn't love the sea bass, it was a large portion, and the eggplant accompaniment was pretty yum. This place does everything pretty well. Not many dishes are winners, but I like that nothing on the menu is terrible, but instead more than passably good. Does well to cater to a group!

We have been here three times over the past year and a half and it never disappoints. Consistently great food and pretty good wine. It is on Telok Ayer so a great place for dinner and drinks on a Friday night for those that work in the CBD. It is a small place - maybe 40 seats - so good idea to call ahead for a reservation. The menu constantly changes - seems to be every couple of months - but the chicken bibimbap, octopus and beef were very good last time around. Highly recommend.

I've been here twice now! Once for lunch and the other for tapas / drinks. I can safely say the food in this place does not disappoint. At lunch, i had their double cheese burger with onion and pickles. It was one of the best burgers in Singapore (though very messy to eat). For the tapas, we tried beef tongue which was a nice surprise - it's tender and served with a nice tomato sauce with some sort of nut in it, which makes the texture crunchy. We also tried the grilled cauliflower which came with this awesome tangy (lemon?) sauce. Recommended.

Alright - this place needs more love. It's conveniently located, across the street from Telok Ayer MRT and a perfect hideaway to unwind in for after work drinks. We managed to walk in at around 7 with no reservation - probably a different story on weekends, so be sure to make one just in case! The only downfall is that the service is a little slow and if you're not into splashing the cash out for typical tapas sized portions, then maybe you won't see the value in coming to Moosehead. I had my doubts, because I could just fill up on $3 Char Kuey Teow, but hey - I was sold on that sizeable platter of Crispy Pig's Ears. Perfect for sharing between two, super crunchy and a perfect bar "entree". Don't leave without trying the Beef Tongue with Parsley and Butter - it's pricey considering it's an off cut and an exceptionally small portion, but the flavours make it well worth it. This is definitely a tapas bar worth trying!

i REALLY wanted to like this place - interesting and nontraditional tapas style restaurants were my bread and butter in the US. the vibe is very cool and props for the very cool music choices, but the food was only just ok. crunchy feta - very good! sweet and salty - actually, the feta was a bit too salty but not enough to bother me. burrata - worst burrata i've ever had. what a disappointment this was. bacon wrapped dates - delicious! best thing we had all night, had all the great elements to a dish, crispy, sweet salty savory! cauliflower - good but nothing special. lamb roll - not an even bread to meat ratio. overall flavor was good although the lamb aired a tad bit on the dry side. i'd come back if invited, but won't be going out of my way to.

Came here for dessert. Very inventive and delicious. Will definitely come back for the mains!

Impressed with the food, all the dishes we ordered were great. Nice place, really tiny though. So make a reservation for sure! Great service too! Love the smashed egg and seabass which is char-grilled to perfection! Wagyu beef was not as good as expected (not a big fan of wagyu personally) but I'll be back to try the other dishes.

Very very very salty food. Everything was wicked salty. Be aware before going. Also. Water is not comped unless you say tap water. Otherwise you are ordering a $6 small bottle of water.

Booked a table here for Christmas Eve and had the reservation confirmed twice. Then just a few days before the reservation, the staff called to inform that the restaurant would not be open on Christmas Eve after all, a fact they'd conveniently neglected to mention twice.

Of course after reading reviews about the poor service I expected sub par treatment but surprisingly there was excellent Service ( must have improved with all the reviews of poor service). When we arrived, we were greeted promptly and seated 15 min earlier than our reservation. After deciding on what to order, a waitress waiting patiently near the kitchen took the order and within 15min the food was already arriving( Pork scratchings with beef tartare- highly recommend). An additional order of pita bread was ordered and it came out within 5 min to go with the beetroot and Burrata, which was good but nothing to write home about, I'd definitely skip that the next time I come. The Flat iron steak and potatoes came next and were also both excellent. and Finally the Greek Donuts and my gosh I could three more orders of this, light and cripy pockets of dough with honey, creme fraiche and chopped hazelnuts. wow. All in all, I'd recommend Moosehead. My date and I had 5 plates to split between us and I have to say that was quite filling, definitely nicely portioned Tapas. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, perhaps a little packed for a Tuesday Night, but it definitely goes to show that the food is worth coming in for
