Sommer

Short review to say thank you for a wonderful experience! Recently had lunch at Sommer before they permanently close. Some of this meal’s dishes were certainly memorable, including a Hokkaido scallop “pot pie” and a pigeon dish that included the bird’s final finger expression as to being eaten.

We were able to dine at Sommer before their announced closing due in October. It is a lost for this restaurant houses a team of hospitable, attentive and dedicated staff. As for the food. Every mouthful was a delightful tickle to the tastebud. Its beyond gourmet pleasure as each and every dish was way above satisfaction. Worth every dollar spent. Shared the menu we selected and the dishes. Absolutely deserving of their Michelin Star.

Visited Sommer yesterday and truly deserving of 1 Michelin Star! Food was delicious with unique touches and blends of so many elements from tastes to textures. Thank you Chef Lewis Barker and the kitchen team! Service on the other hand was impeccable, with good interactions, checking on food, wine pairings and not being intrusive. Atmosphere was intimate and cosy. Special thanks to Rebecca for her warmth and hospitality, having showcase service with a smile. A gem and rare trait to have in the industry. Food pacing was good, timing all tables present together. Kitchen and service team made the dining experience what I call a harmonious melody in a theatre. Well done!

Had my birthday celebration at Sommer last year, it was truly one of the best fine dining experiences I had so far. From the starts to the main course, to the desserts, everything was perfect! Staff were really friendly as well. So sad to hear the closure of this amazing place! Will definitely missed it.

Visited in Aug 2024 for dinner. A visit to Sommer got hastened due to its impending closure by mid Oct 2024 For dinner you have 2 menu options - 5 course and 7 course. Both menus also come with a bread starting course and petit fours which are in addition to the 5 or 7 courses. All the courses were really good. I especially liked the pigeon main course and the scallop (which was almost in form of a scallop Wellington) courses. The restaurant staff were very friendly and kind. Top notch service. All in all, Sommer was a very good dining experience and its closure is a loss to the SG fine dining scene. Would highly recommend people to visit for the last few days this restaurant is still open.

Sommer is a one Michelin star awarded in 2023. I came on a Friday night for their spring tasting menu as part of my birthday celebration. Every dish was well thought out and brilliantly put together. Presentation was simple and elegant. Dishes seemed to be focus on using good ingredients without having too sophisticated or complex elements. My favorites were the brioche and kombu butter and Brittany cod. The complimentary birthday cake was probably the best I ever had which is a pineapple flavored cake. Lastly, special shoutout to Lelia who made the whole experience so enjoyable. Fine dining is something most Singaporeans don’t enjoy everyday so being able to have it without being too pretentious can largely be due to the way the service staff engages you. A genuine looking smile, constantly topping up our tap water, being situationally aware, recommending dishes without being pushy, and taking photos voluntarily is just a few of the many things that made the night very enjoyable. Hospitality at its best!

Celebrated my birthday here, and it was just a fantastic and pleasant experience all-round. The hosts were friendly and conversational during our meal, and ensured we had a good time. As an additional bonus, we were surprised to find out that the talented chef’s birthday was also a few days after mine! Food was amazing and every dish delivered. I’m extremely particular with my bread, and I do not take more than 1 bite if unless it’s perfect, and by far, only 2 restaurants have I finished my bread. So it’s not an exaggeration to say, Sommer has nailed it. Plating was on point and they all looked like masterfully crafted artworks. But the highlight of the meal definitely went to the Samegarei. Flavourful and so soft and tender, this fish dish blew us away. Definitely deserved their 1 Michelin Star!

Had dinner here last night for the second time. I think this is one of the best michelin (including 2 and 3 stars) that i have been to in Singapore. Every dish was an artwork and the taste was even better. Service was very nice and the wine pairing was spot on. We couldnt fault one thing. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you!
