Cherry Garden

Table reservation

True to Chinese tradition, Cherry Garden’s design was conceived following the sacred practices of Feng Shui. Regarded as one of Singapore’s most beautiful Chinese restaurants, dining at Cherry Garden is akin to dining at your wealthy relative’s house – illustrious, cozy, and truly satiating.

The restaurant operates around the philosophy that the most delightful Cantonese dishes can only come from fresh produce.

Highlights:

Dim Sum Brunch (from $88) enriched by unparalleled signature creations: Applauded as one of the Lion City’s best dim sum brunches, Cherry Garden boasts familiar dim sum staples such as siu mai and xiao long bao and signature dim sum that are almost impossible to find elsewhere such as deep-fried escargot dumplings and crystal dumpling with fresh mushrooms and black truffle.
Food and Wine Pairings: Celebrations are made extra special with Cherry Garden’s selection of classic and modern wines that wonderfully complement their festive Cantonese dishes.
Divine Desserts: It’s almost a crime not to punctuate a Chinese meal with a dessert. In stark contrast with their long list of appetizers, dim sum, and specialties, Cherry Garden’s arsenal of desserts may seem short-stacked but with such perfectly executed desserts, five is just the right number. The osmanthus jelly with wolfberry is a delight both to the eyes and the palate.

MENU:
Cherry Garden offers an eclectic menu of Cantonese cuisine, presented with artistic modern flair. Entering via a striking antique doorway, the restaurant has been designed according to Feng Shui.

Using fresh, seasonal produce, the menu features authentic Cantonese dishes. A varied wine list features a balanced selection of old and new world wines specially selected to match the menu. A wide selection of Chinese teas is also available.

MUST-TRIES:

Peking Duck with Traditional Condiments, Chinese Crepes, Spring Onions, Cucumber and Homemade Sauce
Thick Superior Lobster Soup, Conpoy, and Seaweed
Braised 8-head Whole Abalone and Sea Cucumber with Premium Oyster Sauce
Steamed red grouper served with pickled chilies
Five-grain fried rice with Cantonese pork sausage and vegetables
Dim Sum

AMBIENCE:
Cherry Garden is one of the most beautiful Chinese restaurants in Singapore. An elegant dining room, exuding an old Chinese atmosphere and surrounded by lush greenery, is what will make your gastronomic journey there pleasurable and memorable.

In addition to the main dining room, Cherry Garden has four elegant private dining rooms, including Bamboo, the largest of which can accommodate up to 24 guests, perfect for business or social gatherings.
