Flutes, renowned for its long-standing presence at the National Museum of Singapore, has recently relocated to a historic heritage site at Guoco Midtown House, formerly a police station. Although the restaurant has been a fixture in Singapore’s dining scene for years, my first visit was an eye-opening experience.

The evening began with an array of snacks – BBQ Yumbah Abalone with Kombu Butter and Truffle, Potato Croquette with Bafun Uni and Oscietra Caviar, and Kangaroo Tartare with Beetroot and Goat’s Cheese. These offerings showcased Flutes’ adept fusion of Australian ingredients.

Opting for the dinner degustation menu at S$178+, we embarked on a journey of nine meticulously crafted courses. Each course was meticulously crafted, reflecting Chef’s dedication to harmonizing flavors and textures.

The Alaskan King Crab wrapped in avocado, horseradish, and dill provided a refreshing introduction that invigorated the palate.

The Aquna Murray Cod, accompanied by spring vegetables and smoked mussel butter, showcases its forgiving nature due to its oily content. Its moist, medium-textured flesh with large flakes and minimal bones delivers a clean, non-fishy flavor profile.

Celeriac with Manjimup Truffle and Langoustine, a standout for its nuanced sweetness and sophisticated presentation.

BBQ Zabuton Satsuma Gyu Skewer, featuring Kagoshima Prefecture Tajima beef, which melted in the mouth and paired surprisingly well with beetroot.

The pre-dessert of Jerusalem Artichoke Ice-Cream with Manjimup Black Truffle and Caramelized Milk Crumbs was a unique delight, while the Strawberry Pavlova with Calamansi Sorbet provided a perfect conclusion to the meal.

The meal concluded with a Petit Fours- Kaya Soy Bon Bon, Yuzu Jube, and Rojak Flower Macaron, each a tiny bite for a sweet ending.

For those looking to enhance their dining experience, an additional beverage pairing option is available for S$108++ per person, allowing guests to savor a selection of wines expertly chosen to complement each course.

Flutes at Midtown House is more than just a restaurant; it is a celebration of culinary artistry, heritage, and sustainability. Whether you are a long-time patron or a first-time visitor, the new location offers an experience that is both familiar and refreshingly new. With its commitment to impeccable dining and environmental responsibility, FLUTES continues to set the standard for a long-standing fine dining in Singapore.
