Roia Restaurant

In the familiar setting of the former Corner House, Roia offers a refreshing take on fine dining. The six-course menu artfully blends French and Asian cuisines, creating a paced journey and match for my limited degustation threshold. The intimate space, seating up to 30, retains its cozy charm. While the ambience feels familiar, the menu brings welcome surprises. Some dishes truly shine, showcasing the kitchen's potential for creativity, though presentation could use a touch more refinement. My fav is the soothing yet rich mushroom soup. Service leans towards a casual fine dining experience, fitting for internal events or small gatherings. The secluded location adds to its appeal but may require extra planning for larger external functions.

Where “ Art meet Palate” , this is how I will classified Priyam creation who took over the space where Corner House used to be . The set menu is very generous in term of course and the ingredients used are of very good quality . Chef has French background so he uses this techniques with his Indian influence to create his own language of cuisines . I will have to say I do like it especially his two main course which comes in term of a fish and a lamb . Oh ! The dessert is insane too , for sure I will be back ☺️

Fantastic experience - from food, ambience, and service. Was there for a date night for dinner, opted for 6-course rather than 8-course and we left very full and happy. Portions are good, food was absolutely beautiful and exquisite, and service was top notch and very personable. They even offer a buggy service to pick you up from nassim gate visitor centre which I very much appreciated. Above all, it was breathtaking sitting in such a historical building and soaking in the atmosphere of Botanic Gardens around us. Ask for the seats with a view if you’re coming in before sunset! It was the best date night spot and we’re already looking forward to returning.

The Corner House in the Botanical Gardens is a venue which brings back lots of fond memories from its first restaurant iteration as Au Jardin, followed by Cornerhouse and now Roia. We have celebrated anniversaries, birthdays and friend’s wedding plus a number business meetings or wanted a good dinner in a beautiful location. Thus I was excited to experience its current transformation as Roia under new management and a new Chef Priyam. The interior has gone through a total change and is now more elegant than the past though the same familiarity still permeates through its colonial heritage walls. Cuisine is once again back to French inspired fine dining creations though the presentation feels a tough cliche. My favourite dishes were the fish (Corners Flowers), the lamb (By The Rain Forest) and the dessert (Indulgence). My least favourite was the languostine dish (The Herb Gardens) as the langoustine was slightly mushy and tasted off which was communicated to the staff and Chef. Service-wise, it was functional but lack the personal friendly touch of the old team. In summary, it is worth a visit though it will need some work, hopefully over time, to be comparable to Chef Jason Tan’s tenure there and also the other modern French fine dining restaurants in Singapore. Chef Priyam’s definitely has the potential that can be refined with more exposure and tweaks to cater to the Singapore fine dining scenes.

The ambiance was cozy yet upscale, service was warm and attentive. Went for 6-course and the food is truly a culinary masterpiece. Each dish was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's creativity. Thankyou BABA(chef Priyam), kitchen and service staffs for such a delightful dinner experience 🤩🤩 10/10

Chef Priyam and the team represent well this iconic Singaporean heritage establishment. The French cuisine comes with touches of modern art and local inspiration. Quite a delight

It was a most memorable and enchanting dinner not just because we were dining amidst the lush greenery of the Botanic Gardens. The star was Chef Priyam who charmed us with his ingenius use of fresh ingredients, artistic plating and playful dessert concoctions like the "half-boiled egg" made of mango and coconut shavings. Well done!
