Old and New Restaurants in West Soho

West Soho, with Davis Street acting as a spine, is become king of cuisine in Island west with an array of exquisite eateries mushrooming in the area. At the same time. the well-established old-time restaurants continue in their strongholds, together creating a shop-mix of the old and the new bringing variety and choice.

Bistronomique on Davis Street is a Michelin Bibendum-recommended restaurant for 2014, with a reputation that is causing long queues of eager customers as a daily scene. Prior reservation is therefore strongly recommended. The restaurant features a simplistic decor with a daylight-lit environment which allows customers to enjoy views through window during daytime. Their Caesar Salad adds anchovy to make the taste even richer. The chefs there would never under-or over-cook the risotto or pasta just to adapt to customers’ preference. Whatever a customer chooses will never disappoint.

Run by Singaporean restaurant group Les Amis, the newly-opened Bistro Du Vin is long and narrow in layout with a design using a high ceiling that is roomy enough to disperse street noise. The chef’s foremost recommendation is the suckling pig confit. Cooked in the same way as the French oil-sealed duck leg, the dish is served as a crispy, delicious and aromatic offering. The restaurant boasts of a service with thoughtfulness and facilities that cater to individual customers’ needs, promising an unforgettable experience.

Bresola is a small Italian restaurant that also demands prior reservation. Unlike Bistronomique, Bresola specialises in pizzas and pasta. An example is Pasta Puttanesca that comes with plenty of olives, artichoke and dried tomatoes mixed into the sauce while a potpourri of plant garnish aromas is part of the overall mix of a very rich-looking dish. Bresola’s Parma ham pizza is thin and crispy with an abundance of arugula and Parma ham atop - a must-try for pizza lovers.
