Quentin's the Eurasian Restaurant

Decent Eurasian food with authentic flavours and decent sized portions. The dishes are well-prepared, with a nice balance of spices and home-cooked taste that really stands out. I’ve tried a few of their signature items, and most of them were flavourful and satisfying — great comfort food that reminds me of traditional family-style cooking. The atmosphere is simple but cozy, and the staff are generally friendly. Overall, it’s a nice spot if you’re craving honest, hearty Eurasian cuisine without the fuss.

The location was perfect with a small parking area right beside it. Ambience was good. Almost romantic since we were the only ones. Service was attentive and helpful. Food was a solid 10/10. You can also tour the eurasian museum if you fancy.

Absolutely love this place! The oxtail stew was the highlight - rich, flavourful and melts in your mouth! (A little spicy though! But in a good way ) The service was also warm and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Quentin's Eurasian Restaurant The place Nestled within the Eurasian Heritage building in the serene Joo Chiat estate, Quentin's Eurasian Restaurant offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life. It's calm, compliments the rich heritage and homestyle flavours of Eurasian cuisine. The deco, although a trifle dated, was nonetheless refined, in a retro and understated way. This is probably one of the very few truly Eurasian restaurant in Singapore. The food Eurasian cuisine is a fusion of European (mainly Portuguese) and Asian (mainly Malay and Indian) food. Pasteis de Bacalhau ($15.80): deep fried salted cod fish cakes served with cod pickle sauce. The taste was delicious, although the texture was a bit soft for my liking. Sambal Terong ($12.20) - fried egg plant in a spicy mix of shallots, chilly paste and dried shrimps. It was delicious, full of umami and has a nice spicy kick. Roast Pork Belly ($18.80) - the slow cooked pork belly, served with pork gravy and achar, has a nice bite, although not very different from those at an average roast meat hawker stall. Pork Semur ($23.60): A fragrant pork stew, which went well with the accompanied rice. Estrella Damm draught beer ($8.60 for half pint) - the beer tasted refreshing, went well with the food, though not particularly outstanding. The service - the service was efficient and attentive. The meal was preceded by a serving of keropok (prawn crackers) accompanied by a chilly dip, which was a nice touch. The verdict It you have not tried Eurasian food before, this is a good place to try the cuisine.

Located in the Euroasian Heritage building, we came to support its renewed lease. We were a big group with a couple of seniors with mobility challenges, so we came earlier than opening time. The staff in charge kindly let us settled in and was accommodative to bring us water for all. We started with the balcahao, and some complimentary fish keropok with sambal & pickled fish. The keropok was much appreciated all around. The spicy condiments were just right and not too spicy, even the 90+ y.o. seniors had no problem. We then had the beef rendang, oxtail stew, stirfry okra, mixed veg dish and the prawn bastabor. The latter was my favorite - the sauce had varied & pleasant favors, and addictively nice. The dish was abit smallish though with just a few pieces of prawns. My next favorite was the beef rendang with its nice depth of flavor. Unfortunately the cendol was very disappointing after the wonderful dishes.

I never tried Eurasian food before this, but I really enjoyed my first foray here! Food was great, and the chilli sauces (sambal balacan and cod fish pickle) were amazing… so much that I had to buy some home. The wait staff are nice and atmosphere is great for chilling. Come in groups to try their key dishes, devil’s curry etc as the serving portion is for 2-3.

We hosted some friends to dinner here and it was a pretty good meal. We enjoyed the keropok so much that we ordered more, and the dry mee siam, cod fish otah and prawn sambal petai were delish. The chicken vindaloo and the patchri eggplant dish were nice but a tad sweet. Portions could have been slightly bigger for the price. We also ordered coffees and a pot of tea, as well as dessert. The sugee cake was tasty but sweet, and we liked the kueh bingku. The banana fritters were a tad confusing for us - crispy but not too tasty and we were not sure if they were pisang rajah. The missus and I decided we will be back to try the corn beef dishes, which we were not able to order this time. Service was friendly and helpful, and staff even suggested that we get fewer bottles of water ($2 per 800l) as we could reorder if we needed more. I would have given five stars, but there is an area that needs improvement. The two alcoves where the aircons are need to be cleaned asap, as there is a lot of what looks like mold. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is usually a band playing and you should turn up, especially if you are a fan of the Bee Gees etc. Parking is easy - there are lots on the premises, as well as public parking just outside.

We started with fish crackers and two kinds of chilli — a punchy sambal belachan and a tasty salted fish pickle, both well prepared. The Pasteis de Bacalhau was a highlight: crispy outside, soft and flavourful inside, with dried codfish, potato, herbs, and onions. The debal curry was fiery, tangy, and rich in flavour. The lady’s fingers (stir-fried okra) were simple but fresh, a nice balance to the curry. Finished with their sugee cake — moist, buttery, and not too sweet. 😋 The “live” music added to the warm, inviting ambience, making the whole experience a treat for both flavours and atmosphere.

I think this is my first or second time having Eurasian food but this is definitely my first time dining here. I have read about this place and the museum on Eurasian history a few years ago. It is very interesting. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we were there but I would want to visit it some day. I have heard of the more famous Eurasian dishes like Feng and devil curry. Some dishes were similar to Peranakan food, like chap chye. We decided to share chap chye, prawn bostador and oxtail devil curry with rice. I liked the food though I found the chap chye not as soft as expected. I loved the gravy of the devil curry, oxtail not so much. My friend much preferred the prawn bostador. The complimentary fish crackers with two types of sambal was yummy. But eat them fast as they went soft after a while. I would want to come back again to try other dishes. Parking is available on the grounds and underground.

If you crave Eurasian food and oldies live music, Quentin's the place for you. My favorite part of the whole evening was going out to the open air area, having drinks and singing along to 70s and 80s music. Food was tasty. They bring out shrimp crackers with sambal belacan for dipping. I liked the fried spam and Ngoh Hiang, Pork rolls wrapped with soya bean skin. The stewed and braised food was delicious also. It was a really fun evening at the Eurasian Community Club!

You could say that Eurasian cuisine is the original Asian-fusion - East meets West with a whole lot of spice. Think dishes like oxtail curry, black ink calamari, chilli prawns, and roast beef. All lovely dishes with plenty of sauce and rich flavor to accompany the rice. Some of the curry dishes are surprisingly spicy - a slow build but packs a lot of heat later. Balance out the spice with some veggies like tumeric cabbage or chap chye. All in, worth the chili sweats. Low key during weekday lunch and kid-friendly. Quentin's is a good place to spice up your usual lunch routine.

My first time trying Eurasian cuisine and I loved it! The restaurant is in a tranquil part of the east side, and ample public parking just beside the restaurant. We ordered a lot of dishes and they all tasted great, by and large. Here's a low down : Appetizers Keropok with Sambal balacan- fresh, crunchy as you would expect Devil's wings - 3 full wings per serving. Well seasoned and well fried without much residual oil. Wings were a little on the scrawny side but apart from that, no complains. Meat cutlet - 2 huge fried "begedels" lookalike. Filled with minced meat and potato. Well fried and yet not dry. Shepard's pie - comfort food with a homemade taste. Mom in law tasted some lamb inside so watch out if you can't stand lamb. Mains Pot roast beef - sliced roast beef that was a bit tough. I didn't enjoy this. Cooked with lots of caramlized onions that were delicious. Fried beef steak - with a delicious black pepper sauce, potatoes and tomatoes. I loved this dish. Beware, it's a vehicle for rice loading! Baked fish fillet - a piece of white fish that was fried first before a layer of spicy rempah smothered it all over and baked on banana leaf. Taste wise, this dish really hit the spot. A bit sweet, a bit spicy and sourish. But the fish filet was a little mushy and soft. Either not fresh, or the type of fish didn't really stand up to the robustness of such a sauce. Pineapple prawn curry - About 6 large prawns with a sweet and sourish pineapple curry gravy that was deliciously addictive to slurp on its own. Prawns were meaty and fresh but didn't really absorb the flavor of the gravy. Shame. Fried eggplant - eggplant was soft and absorbs the taste of the spicy gravy. Chap Chye - another hit with me. It's comfort food. Lots of miso (bean paste) and a mix of vegetables. I like that the cabbage isn't stewed until it's super soft. That's a personal preference :) Desserts Sago Melaka - not rich enough and the gula melaka is not powerful Sugee cake - average Live music starts about 8:30pm and there's a playroom for kids. Perfect for families !

I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Eurasian food. Quentin's is the best (and one of the handful of places in Singapore) to give it a try! According to my sources, Eurasian cuisine is a fusion of Portuguese dishes with Malaysian and Indian spices. If you're into spicy food, you'll have a lot to choose from. I can take a little spice, but my husband can't take too much, so we had to ask our server for recommendations. As the portions are meant to be shared, we tried one seafood and one meat dish. The Cambrang Bostador are prawns cooked in a coconut curry- flavourful without being spicy! Unfortunately I am blanking out on the meat dish that we had; looking at the picture and the menu, I'm going to guess it was the Kristang style beef stew. (Or was it the oxtail?) Either way, it tasted very familiar... but different. In a good way! If I had to choose between the two, it'd be a difficult decision, as they are different flavour profiles and both so delicious! But I think I'd go with the prawns. The free flow white rice is a nice touch. My only feedback is that they might be slightly understaffed. Other than that, the food is amazing and they are close to where I live. They're getting all 5 stars from me!

Quite possibly the only Eurasian restaurant I know of in Singapore. And how fitting it is that its in the Eurasian Association. The food is as authentically eurasian as it gets. I've been here a few times and some of my favourite dishes include the sambal kang kong, curry devil, roast beef and black ink calamari. I doubt youd be able to find, as eurasian a meal as you can at Quentins, elsewhere. If you're feeling adventurous or traditional (for eurasians) waste no time and go there now!

Among the best meals of my life, and if it wasn't for the dry pork belly, would have been a full on 5-stars! I went here with a local colleague and basically left menu choices in his hands, and thus ended up with fabulous food (in the majority) that was just gorgeously cooked and soul-satisfying. Between the 3 of us, we ordered Water Spinach dish (Vegetarian), Eggplant dish (vegetarian), Squid Ink sauce with Calamari, Pork Belly (along with rice as an accompaniment) and then to end the meal, we got Sugee Cake as the dessert option. The majority of the food just tasted really awesome and extraordinary, and the only major disappointment was the Pork Belly - this was just so super dry, and a real struggle to chew. In contrast, the eggplant dish was melt in the mouth delicious and i enjoyed the heartiness of the water spinach dish too. My fave dish however was the Squid Ink sauce with Calamari - the squid ink was so fresh, tasted exquisite and the calamari was super tender, plus juicy and savory, with a wonderful, clean seafood taste. The Sugee Cake was a grand way to finish off the meal - I have never eaten sugee aka semolina or cream of wheat in a cake before, but I am a fan now, and am definitely looking at recipes online to tiger out how i can recreate this dessert in my own kitchen. I would def recommend this restaurant and would go try other dishes when/ if in Singapore again.

To tell you honestly I didn't know what a Eurasian was until I visited Quentin and the Eurasian community house. For those who don't know, Eurasian refers to people mixed Asian and European ancestry, which I would discover are quite prevalent in South East Asia. I had very low expectations of Quentin's coming in. There wasn't much fan fare on Yelp and no one in my neighborhood was raving about them. Boy was I dead wrong! Quentin's patrons are more often than not regulars. Seriously, who would pass up a cuisine where east meets west is a real treat. My wife and I had the Cambrang Bostador, which according to the restaurant website is "a thick coconut based prawn-dish in a luscious union with sliced green chilies and a blend of fresh local herb." Simply, wow! Mixed with the free flow of rice, I was in heaven. The other dish we tried was the Kristang beef stew. The dish was good, but not memorable. Overall, Quentin's has a amazing selection of dishes, especially if you love SPICY food. My wife and I tried to stay away from the Spicy dishes during our first visit for the simple fact we didn't know what to expect. However, given how good the Cambrang Bostador was, I'm definitely going to be a little more adventurous the next time around!

Very hearty meal in the middle of the heartlands, great for sharing and great for crowd. Nice atmosphere for Christmas lunch or dinners. Food is great generally really tasty coconut curry prawns, chao chye (love that radish was included in the mix) The other food inthe Christmas set was too sweet for my liking - the beef, devil's curry, eggplant Not too bad though First time trying Eurasian food; tastes similar to peranakan but I think I prefer peranakan

This establishment been around a while and i have been wanting to try it but didn't go about it until recently. I happened to see a Deal.com.sg voucher for their ala carte buffet and bought a couple of vouchers and got some friends to dine there. Food was good ... One of our favorite for the evening would be the Oxtail Devil Curry. However, the service was rather disappointing. There were a couple of wait staff that evening and there was one in particular who had really bad attitude. Firstly, when we wanted to order another round of dishes, since we been told that it takes 15-20 minutes of wait time, she rejected our orders and insisted that we need to finish our first round of orders first. So, we left it as that and placed our order with another wait staff. Towards the end of dinner, we ordered our desserts to end the evening. The same wait staff came over with our desserts and asked if we are done with our food. We said yes and she commented, I am going to charge you $5 for wasting food. We were pretty much done with all our dishes except probably the bones, garnishes and sauce. The item she referred to was leftover of the soup that we ordered Salted vegetable and Pork Ribs soup. We left the boney pork ribs in the soup as it was mainly fats and bones. But she insisted that we are wasting food. I would love to see how she eats up the bones!!! So, what we ended up doing in her lurking eyes is each of us took one piece, put on our plates... in a failed attempt to find much meats on the bone. After that episode, there was another episode, a friend order 1 beer $6. Since the meals were paid for, we just need to pay for that 1 bottle of beer. We gave $50 to a wait staff and he asked if we got smaller change. We gave him $7 and he never came back with $1 change! He proceed on doing his own stuff and totally ignore us until we left. He bid us farewell from far with a bid grin on his face. Seriously, no matter how good the food is, the service will be a big factor to deter us from going back there again.

An Easterner's hidden pleasure. I almost don't want to mention this place so that I have it to myself. Which would be selfish. Not that I care, but I do want Quentins to thrive for many more years. Almost everything is fab. If you are a Eurasian food neophyte, order the weirdest things you can find. You will discover tastes and textures that are unique and awesome. Call outs: Itek Tim and the corn beef fried rice and the petai. And the siobak. And the...you get the picture. Additional bonus: you might catch a glimpse of our ex-President, who lives across the road. Lucky him. Can ta pao easily.

Good place to go with kids. They have a big playground for kids to handout while you eat. Food mostly spicy but was a tad disappointed and expensive. Table are also too small and packed too squeezed. Probably won't be visiting anytime soon.

I have been to Quentin's twice for dinner and both times was really impressed with the quality of the food and homey feel of the place. As I understand it, Eurasian cuisine is pretty meat (especially pork) heavy, but we were equally satisfied with the seafood and veggie options on the menu. Many diners seem to prefer the indoor section with its a/c, but at night I would recommend the terrace, which has well-spaced tables, faces out onto a big green space, and is romantically lit with hanging lamps. Families with energetic small children and canoodling couples on wine-fueled dates seem equally welcome and comfortable here, which is no small feat for a restaurant to pull off. They seem to be running a weekday discount offer, which I haven't used, but might be worth checking out for bargain hunters, as it isn't the cheapest in the area. Also, parking is usually a big issue in Joo Chiat, but here (I think) they have free on-site parking for guests beneath the building.

Hours are wrong, got there at 1:50 sat and was informed that the kitchen had closed. There were customers still eating there so I guess they must be closing at 2 instead of 2:30. This is one of aggravating things when a business states that they are open until a stated hour but the employees think that means they should be done by that hour
