Cosmopolitan all-day dining combines seamlessly with elegant wine lounge & specialist bespoke cocktail bar
January 23rd, 2015
A recent addition to Singapore’s ever-expanding upscale dining and cocktail scene, KUVO launched in November 2014 in an expansive space overlooking the famous Orchard Road shopping precinct. Across a variety of interconnected spaces guests can choose between all-day dining centred on contemporary international and Asian cuisines, polished bespoke cocktail service at the bar, and a wine lounge showcasing an impressive selection of European and New World wines. Conceived as a sophisticated yet relaxed lifestyle destination, KUVO adds an inviting dimension to the predominantly retail-centric Orchard Road area.
Operated by the same local hospitality group behind the popular The Connoisseur Concerto gourmet coffee outlets, KUVO has assembled an experienced team of chefs, sommeliers and mixologists to head up the various sections within the open plan concept. And combined with a tasteful decor of warm timbers and sliding Japanese-style shoji screens deployed across the open floorplan, guests can indulge in casual drinks and bar bites at the Elixir Bar at one end of the space, all-day dining in a series of flexible spaces under the Ambrosia brand, and at the other end of the interior, the Vine Lounge entices with is comfortable leather sofas and well chosen wine list. A further element to KUVO is the compact gift store adjacent to the entrance offering house brand gourmet coffee and tea blends, chocolates , cakes and more.
At Elixir, the handsome bar is luxuriantly topped with sheets of backlighted solid onyx stone that exudes a warm amber glow throughout the space. Headed by experienced Japanese mixologist Yutaka Nakashima, Elixir specialises in a bespoke cocktail service, complemented by a compact list of innovative signature cocktails. With a background also in cooking, Nakashima deploys his culinary skills to introduce well-balanced savoury ingredients to his cocktail creations. A bar menu of Small Plates serves up gourmet dishes that are ideal accompaniments for the first-rate drinks.
KUVO opens daily from midday, an enticing option on Orchard Road for lunches, dinner or all-day dining and relaxation. With its segmentation of spaces, KUVO offers flexible solutions for private and corporate functions. Reservations for tables in the evenings are recommended.
