    Description

    EMPRESS, The Privé Group's debut Cantonese cuisine establishment, occupies a coveted location within the Asian Civilisations Museum, offering spectacular waterfront dining that overlooks the stunning Singapore River. Its interiors blend the old with the new, complementing the museum's philosophy of merging heritage with contemporary design. The restaurant's aesthetic boasts a modern and vibrant décor that contrasts perfectly with the colonial building's façade, creating an unusual yet inviting atmosphere.

    EMPRESS's food menu embodies the restaurant's design philosophy. Although traditional Cantonese cuisine is the mainstay of its dishes, EMPRESS infuses modern culinary elements to create an innovative fusion of the old and the new. Fear not, traditional Cantonese staples like dim sum and signature roast meats are still part of the menu, and their Triple Roast Platter, featuring spare ribs, char siew, and roast pork, remains a top favourite. For a unique twist, EMPRESS has added a distinct Asian flair to Impossible Meat, making their Impossible Meat Gyozas and Kway Teow irresistible.

    But that's not all, EMPRESS has gone beyond the norms by featuring western-style salads and plated desserts, such as the Sticky Date & Longan Pudding, which is sure to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. On weekends and public holidays, diners can indulge in a sumptuous dim sum buffet, which can be paired with champagne for an extra-special treat.

    The restaurant's mission is to dispel the notion that Cantonese cuisine is often regarded as "stuffy" and elevate it to a more relaxed and accessible dining experience. In EMPRESS, you'll experience just that, and you'll undoubtedly agree that the establishment has succeeded in its mission.

    The Buzz

    "While EMPRESS is sleek with an upbeat vibe, old school elements like rattan-backed dining chairs and round wooden tables with lazy Susans add nostalgia." -The Business Times

    "EMPRESS succeeds easily in marrying traditional Cantonese cuisine with a modern dining concept." -Honeycombers

    "EMPRESS though, has got it just right. Keeping some of those traditions but embracing a relaxed, unstuffy and modern approach too. Definitely a restaurant to add to your go-to list." -Expat Adventures
