Salt Gr ill & Sky Bar
A Celestial Meal
A meal at Orchard Road sounds like it might be a crowded and noisy affair, but that’s
only if you dine at the ground level. For a truly top notch and exclusive experience,
head over to Salt grill and Sky bar by Luke Mangan, which sets the standard for
premium sky-high dining in Singapore. The perfect place for a romantic dinner, special
occasions or perhaps just days where you wish to dine amidst the clouds.
The restaurant’s setting is simple; white walls
and majestic columns, wooden furnishings
and trendy red chandeliers to add a splash
of colour. However, the set up is secondary
to the main attraction of the restaurant - the
view. Salt grill and Sky bar is quite possibly
one of the best places to get a 360 degree
view of Singapore’s skyline. As I was there for
a lunchtime meal, the sun was at its highest
giving me a clear view of what seemed to be
every single building in the country.
I was greeted by the staff and brought to
my table by the window. I marvelled at the
fact that I could see Sentosa, Pulau Ubin
and Pulau Tekong simply from where I was
seated. Our server for the day was all smiles,
and suggested that I take a walk around to
see the full sights that the restaurant has to
offer. The restaurant’s glass panels have short
excerpts, interesting facts, and the names of
areas to look out for from that bird’s eye view.
A specially designed ramp brings diners up
to the Sky bar where patrons can relax with
a drink while soaking in the city landscape.
The restaurant has a classy yet relaxed vibe
thanks to the upbeat music that was playing
in the background.
Looking at the surroundings, I had almost
forgotten that I was there for a meal but when
our first dish arrived, my appetite returned
with a bang. Created by Luke Mangan,
one of Australia’s top chefs, the restaurant
