Perhaps a clue as to what kind of restaurant Graze is lies in its curious name - a name which implies the leisurely, friendly enjoyment of all things edible. It is no accident that the word 'Graze' conjures up an image of outdoor dining. The premises of this Rochester Park eatery exist within a 5,000 square foot space, much of which is given over to alfresco dining.

Those who find themselves in the colonial-style black and white bungalow that constitutes the main dining room can experience the pleasure of an open-plan area which somehow feels like a natural, airy extension from the outdoors. Space, earthy contemporary design, choice and great food is what a meal at Graze is all about.

The outside area offers three separate pavilions in which diners can languidly engage the flow of breakfast, lunch or a warm Singaporean evening meal; it's also the ideal spot for a cocktail from the list of classic concoctions which have been revised with Asian touches - just the thing as you sit close to the long, cooling water feature.

Graze is a place which references the style of a bygone era while making it something distinctly modern. In this vein, the outside area also boasts a screen on which stars from golden age of Hollywood swoon and smirk while you sip a crisp glass of wine from the award-winning list; and the awards and accolades of Graze are many, for both its unique concept and the food itself.

When it comes to the tasty marvels, guests can sit back and let the masterly kitchen take them on an innovative excursion from the unexpected to the delightful. From the a la carte menu and set menus to the tempting morsels of the barbeque menu, diners can expect succulent seafood and perfectly prepared meats. The finest quality meat, game and fish are treated in various ways, taking elements from global culinary traditions to create the new and simply delicious.

Whether you want your crispy roasted pork belly with Asian herbs brought to lip-smacking life through a ginger apple reduction, or prefer tiger prawns paired with a Bilbao chorizo sausage and realized through the tantalizing use of pungent Italian ingredients, the choice is yours. Many a hungry diner won't be able to resist the seared delicacies from the barbeque. From the elevated realm of premium Wagyu sirloin served with a Shiraz reduction, to the soulful appeal of a whole baby fish infused with lemongrass, lime leaf, galangal, fish sauce and chilli, few culinary pleasures in Singapore can compare.

No matter whether you're in for a lunch which extends well into dinner, perhaps shifting tables from the indoors to the garden paradise, or simply looking for food which transcends typical notions of Singapore fine dining, Graze offers charm, warm service and a sense that, behind it all, there is driving passion for good life.
