Summer Pavilion

Summer Pavilion, part of the Ritz Carlton, is a Michelin-starred restaurant on-site, and we celebrated our anniversary there. Delicious jasmine-tea smoked duck! It’s a notch beyond your regular Peking duck. Excellent, attentive but non-intrusive service. Great, elegant ambiance. We had the Peony dinner set. Gorgeous from beginning to the end.

I am not a big foodie but this is hands down one of the best dining experiences I have had. Their abalones and beef knee (I know, what a delicacy) was excellent. Very well-cooked and good portions. Overall good service and great ambiance during F1 season as well. Kudos to the chef and management.

Celebrated my dad’s birthday. Food is superb and exquisitely presented. The house blend lychee tea was so fragrant and thoughtfully replaced with a hot cup at the end of the meal. A lovely longevity peach display was presented together with the buns for the celebration.

My girl friends and I finally get to dine together at Sunmer Pavilion after 3 past failed attempts to book for a table. Please book early! We were in awe when we stepped into the beautiful restaurant. The staff Dunstan was very attentive and polite. Even offering to take photos for us. The back drop is beautiful. The food (includes dim sum) was so good that we forgot to take pictures of the food. Only managed to take picture of the dessert. Highly recommend to go to Summer Pavilion for any special occasions. We will definitely return again!

Came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday. The food did not disappoint. Stand out dishes for me were the iberico pork in honey and the sweet and sour pork. My partner loved the fish maw soup in coconut and the prawn dumplings. It’s a little pricy but I would recommend this place for celebrating a birthday or special occasion. I would definitely come again the next time I visit Singapore. Recommended.

Food: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 Service: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 Ambience: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Special thanks to Wai Ling and Ping Jie for their professionalism and kind service, which made the meal memorable. Impressive attention to detail - GF soya sauce was served when we requested for the GF menu. For those with GF/allergen-free requirements, the service staff are attentive with good suggestions to swop out ingredients, and the chef kindly accommodated our requests for allergen-free dishes. Dishes are on-point, delicious without excessive seasoning which would mask the taste of the fresh ingredients. Overall a top-notch Chinese restaurant worth visiting over and over again 👍

Summer Pavilion consistently delivers exceptional dining experiences with fresh, high-quality ingredients and flavorful dishes. Chefs is outstanding, and the service from the team is impeccable. Special thanks to Manager Gary for his personalized and attentive service. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a top-tier Chinese restaurant!

Very rarely can I call a meal "life changing", but Summer Pavilion has definitely redefined how I see dimsum. Firstly, the tea pairs extremely well with their dimsum, proving why the original name in chinese is "morning tea". Each dish has been delicately made and all the ingredients blends well without one overpowering the rest. Overall the taste is nothing short of exceptional. Fine food served on nicely decorated plate also adds to the visual experience in a very relaxed and comfortable armosphere. The ambiance and service is also amazing. The staff makes you feel like an honoured guest and they're very patient and knowledgeable with the menu. Their recommendations are based on your personal taste and they don't try to upsell any of their menu. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a bougie meal on a special occasion!

Absolutely amazing meal and even better service. One of the top Chinese meals I have ever had. Brought a colleague whom is gluten free and the food was fantastic. No wonder they have a Michelin star.

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Made a reservation with the Ritz-Carlton online and received an e-mail confirmation a couple of days prior to dining. Drop off from my driver was easy and uniformed bell hops were eager to assist. Summer Pavilion is tucked away in the back left of the hotel lobby and was unmarked from the lobby, a touch odd. The Ritz is definitely "classic" luxury. Clientele seemed touristy, including some loud tourists from mainland China speaking in their outdoor voices inside the restaurant... Staff wore a uniform, name tag, and a mask. Some staff even wore vinyl gloves. Despite being a Michelin 1 star for Cantonese cuisine, the experience was more of a Westernized appraoch to Cantonese cuisine... Ordered mainly from the Chef's Recommendation menu and started off with the scallop and eggplant. The Hokaido scallop was poached and seared perfectly. The shrimp paste inside the eggplant was on the blander side and now I understand why I was offered chili to complement this... Moved on to the seared Japanese wagyu beef with wild mushrooms and it was a slightly bizarre experience. Both the scallop and beef course were served with a side of knife and fork...I wasn't sure what was so Cantonese about this dish...might have been more Japanese/Western fusion?!? The highlight of the meal was the fish noodle with Canadian lobster. The fish noodles were world class with a perfect al dente texture from what seemed to be fish paste. The Canadian lobster was decent, although I'm sure I've had fresher lobster in Canada... Ended off the meal with the mango sago and it was a disappointment. The highlight were the fresh and flavorful mangos, same as I was able to find at the local grocery store. The actual sago was on the bland side...bummer. Service throughout the meal was attentive, although not quite up to par with Michelin-rated standards. There was some overlap with the presentation of utensils for the next course before the current course was complete...felt like the courses were being rushed?!? $156/head after GST & Service.

We went for their dim sum and every bite was heaven. I've never had better pork buns, everything was perfect from the bun it's led, to the filling to the ratio of both.

A+ for the service but the food was only ok for this type of restaurant. This is for the Dim Sum... maybe the regular entrees might be better The decor is nice and upscale but doesn't stand out much. The plateware is amazing though. They bring out plates of different colors with each dish and to be honest that was a very cool experience in itself. We got the har gow, siu mai, fried dumplings, glutinous pastry and goose liver fried rice. The fried rice was great but the rest were above average....but that's kind of like the minimum expected from a restaurant like this. I've had noticeably better in Toronto and Hong Kong. For two people id recommend maybe 4 dim sum dishes and a rice or noodle. For a city with this many amazing restaurants I find it hard to recommend.

We expected much better dinning environment from this restaurant; and Summer Pavilion did not live up to its reputation. Let me be fair. The food was neither fantastic nor any special. Just average. We were very pleased with the good service. However, definitely we were not happy with the dining experience that night. For such kind of classy restaurant, Summer Pavilion allowed two misbehaving little girls jumping up and down the chairs, playing and laughing so loud just across from our dining area. It was completely not appropriate for any restaurant to allow anyone disturbing the other guests with such behavior.

Located in the ritz hotel in Singapore is this gold mine that brings me back to reality. My trip to Singapore in search of new menus left me wondering whether iI know what is good and what is so so. Most dishes were amazing but some were too fried or starchy. Having dinner at Summer Pavilion brings me back to understanding why I like trying food so much. Their dishes were delicious, artful and definitely will bring you back to knowing what is good food in case you lost your way. The Peking duck was amazing but then again every dish we ordered was amazing. So if you lost your way when you're traveling. Come back to home, come to Summer Parvillion.

Great food and service. Starter: Long bean. Deep fried lobster roll, prawn paste & breaded vermicelli - superb, crispy, light & not oily. Deep fried crab - didn't like the cheesy taste. Otherwise, it was good. Sautéed Chinese cabbage with shredded pork meat in claypot. Smoked duck (half) with Chinese tea leaves - good taste, crispy skin, perfect sauce (not too sweet or saltish). Poached rice, lobster meat. Dry ah balling (black sesame paste inside, served warm) - Super good and not so hot that it will burn your tongue.

Chinese fine dining at its most underwhelming. We ordered the Lily set menu. The Pork was succulent and incredible, but thats where the excitement ended. The Scallop was nothing special. The soup was dull and uncompelling. The Sea Perch lacked the flakey joy you expect and the single solitary prawn sat next to the noodles, carbing you up to ensure you didn't leave hungry. The meal was just fine - and at this price point, it should have been amazing.

Little glitches here and there but overall a rather pleasant experience. Service overall was attentive or at least u can tell the young Jedi was under training so made quiet a few mistakes. Big one not observing the speed the guests were consuming the food. Small ones were spilling the soy sauce while placing the food, his clothes had soy sauce stain, not topping up tea and also asking questions meant for another table. Food wise, suckling pig bettet at Wah Lok. Take away dish was the soup in coconut and dessert. The rest was good. overall a wonderful evening and yes complimentary parking!!

With a Michelin star under its belt, you'll find fancy upscale dim sum. After sitting down (and having the staff put the napkins on our laps), my dad looked at us and asked, "where's the paper to write down our order?". Like I said, upscale - so don't expect the usual bustle or self-service of a normal dim sum restaurant. We ordered some of the usual dim sum dishes, har gao, soup dumplings etc. The food was delicate, and expertly prepared. Expensive yes, but this is really the kind of restaurant you'd go for a special occasion. We also ordered a unique noodle dish - fried fish noodles, which was my favorite. The noodles are actually made with fish (and presumably some starch to keep it together)! Had great bounce to the texture, which was surprising. Upscale dim sum isn't exactly my cup of tea, as I'd rather prefer the hustle and bustle of dim sum, but it was one of those experiences that you just have to try once!

Another Michelin star restaurant in the Ritz Hotel. We didn't have reservations but they accommodated us most likely because we were staying in the hotel. Amazing food, anything you order will be astonishing!

The ambience is serene; the corridor leading to the private dining rooms looks as elegant as a palace's. The Cantonese dishes are among the best you can find in Singapore - nothing flamboyant or very innovative, just extremely refined, served on beautiful porcelain. Service is efficient yet unobtrusive. If prices were lower, I would go anytime I would like to have Cantonese food. Choice destination for entertaining valued guests.

I had the Tasting Menu here for a Sunday lunch. It was comprised of 6 courses: (1) Australian abalone, (2) Chicken Soup in a coconut, (3) Wagyu Beef cubes, (4) A small Lobster with asparagus, (5) Grouper with rice in broth, & (6) a dessert of hot sago pudding & crunch bar. Every course was absolutely fabulous. The Chinese Executive Chef Cheung Siu Kong stopped by my table to see how I liked the meal. The dining experience here was outstanding in all respects. They certainly deserve the Michelin star that they have earned.

Decent Chinese food. The skills of the chefs are good, but the real key to this restaurant is the quality of the ingredients. I had better Chinese food, but seldom made with such quality ingredients.

A 1 Michelin star Chinese restaurant, Summer Pavilion does indeed live up to that standard, perhaps even more. The degustation menu, offered in light of receiving the Michelin award, changes every season, and features Chef Cheung signature dishes. The service is unparalleled for Cantonese restaurant, for example, the arrangement of cutlery in accordance to one's master hand for easier dining. Also, it is extremely personalised, where servers introduced themselves to us, for example a friendly waiter, Jeffrey, took us through most courses, explaining the dishes as they arrive. Food was excellent, featuring Iberico pork, abalone, grouper, lamb loin, and Osmanthus jelly. All these are commonly found in contemporary Cantonese dishes, and were welled seasoned and flavoured. Would definitely patronise again for occasions!

fantastic meal - great ambience, good food - at this classic chinese institution at the ritz-carlton. this was a treat for the mum on her birthday - and we had a great time; I love sitting down in an old-school, luxurious place eating dainty little bits of fatty dim sum. the food here strikes me as being classic but-not-really, very exquisite and rather well made - and very much in line with what I expect from a chinese restaurant inside a hotel: good service, food that's interesting but still familiar, and a peaceful ambience. we did a fair bit of their smallish menu - and it was all pretty good. the food at my favourite paradise pavilion is a little more modern-interesting and might be tastier - but there's just something about sitting in a hotel-housed chinese restaurant that has all the pomp and luxuriance you just don't get in a stand-alone place. I certainly had no qualms about the bill when it arrived, service was polite and our tea cups constantly filled - and the mum had a good time. much worth a visit, especially for a bit of old-school chinese posh.

We stayed at the hotel so wanted to enjoy this restaurant. We assumed it would be significantly better than what we find in Gearhart, Oregon. It was. we got a several course lunch with dim sum. I am not a connoisseur of Cantonese food though we have friends who are. The four dim sum items included a couple that were new to us and a couple that seemed quite ordinary. We had birds nest soup, not a regular item where I go. The fried rice was abundant but not particularly flavorful. The vegetables were ok and we'll prepared. The tea was very nice. Service was good enough. We were the last lunch table seated that day which meant our server was distracted with other duties when we wanted to order and when it was time to serve our food. Still, the four of us enjoyed our lunch.

The dim sum here is not on par with the other 5-star dim sum places but nevertheless you still good quality and tasty food. The ambiance is ideal for Sunday morning brunches. Relax atmosphere and the excellent service staffs more than make up for the 4-star dim sums.
