Napoleon is started by Jean Christophe Cadoret. The name "Napoleon" was inspired by Napoleon passing the monumental wine law in 1855.
Watch my short video!
Ambience
Napoleon Food and Wine Bar offers a intimate 42-pax (interior) and 12-pax (al fresco). They can even accommodate up to 70 pax for cocktail events. As you enter the tiny entrance, the rich tones of natural materials basked in the lights of romance. They also embrace using technology by offering a iPad Menu and Ordering system. They are also designed for private and corporate events. They have a 40-inch television and a video projector. Guests can also sync their presentations onto iPads. I love their lightings too.
The bar is designed with the mission of making wines easily accessible to guests. The centerpiece at the bar is a good selection of 32 European wines which are made available on enomatic wine dispenser machines. Customer can choose different tasting portions like half a glass or a full glass (from $10 and above). The wine are also classified into 8 categories (red: smooth, fruity, deep and spicy; white: dry, rich, fruity and sweet). It makes it so easy for you to get to choose the wine to try. The selection changes weekly. They even have Grand Crus wine in their selection.
Service
They feature an open glass kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work. Whipping up the delicious dishes!~ Singaporean Chef James is Napoleon's head chef. Together his past experience, he is constantly experimenting with technology like sous vide cooking techniques to improve his dish to perfection. Amazing!
Food
We had the pleasure of sampling their tasting menu. Here I present to you with their 2 starters:
Hand-Cut Angus Beef Tartare (S$30) with Egg Yolk, Capers & Crispy Truffle Potatoes with Parmesan. Wow a very big portion! I think it is good for sharing for 2 to even 4 persons. I didn't try the Beef Tartare but it looks very refreshing and delicious. The truffle potatoes is delicious and I love the truffle fragrance. Good for Raw Beef Lovers! I would like it better if there is more truffle potatoes.
Homemade Foie Gras Terrine (S$32) with Terrine of Foie Gras with Figs served with Fruit Chutney, Monbazillac & Balsamic Reduction. Another dish that I think good for sharing. I think it is brilliant to complement Foie gras with the sweetness from the Figs and Fruit Chutney. The taste is very well balance. I would love it more if there is more bread to go with the Foie Gras.
With the Entertainer 2016 offers in hand, you can enjoy ~One for One Main Menu Item~ The first main course arrives. Roasted Angus Beef Tenderloin (S$32) Slowly-Roasted Angus Beef Tenderloin with Carrot Puree, Caramelized Onion, Gratin Dauphinois, Ratatouille & Red Wine Sauce. VERY Tender, Juicy and Flavourful!!! Nom Nom! Melt into the mouth!
Shrimps Truffle Capellini (S$21) Thin Pastas with Confit Shrimps, Salted Seaweed & Truffle Oil. They also have braised vegetable option instead of shrimps. Capellini is like a thinner version of Spaghetti with its diameter between 0.85 mm and 0.92mm. I love truffle fragrance. The aroma!~ It is just divine!~
Creamy Lobster Risotto (S$36) Acquarello Rice & Green Asparagus. I love the luxurious bites of the Lobster! So fresh and crunchy! The Risotto is very very rich and creamy. I think the rice slightly a bit too hard. I always love to have a few bites of the creamy pasta or risotto. I can't finish a plate of it myself. I think it is a delicious dish for sharing.
Here com the dessert!~ Nothing beats to have a great dessert to end a good meal. It is like a movie with a good ending. Satisfying! Duo of Chocolate (S$12) Chocolate Ganache & Mi-cuit Canele with Salted Caramel, Artisan Vanilla Gelato & Coffee Crumble. Wow. The Canele which is a small French pastry. The center is so soft and tender embraced by a dark caramelized crust. Lovely! The Chocolate Ganache is so chocolaty and smooth!~ Chocolate lovers you might like to consider to try this!
Thank you so much Napoleon for the deliciously gorgeous food creations!
