Bar-Roque Grill at the Amara Hotel is the actualisation of a dream many years in the making. Chef Stephane Istel was determined to open his own restaurant by the time he was thirty-five years old, and the food on offer at the modern rotisserie and bar provides an intimate insight into the experiences that have made the man.

The heart of the menu, of course, is made up of the meats from the rotisserie. Both the French Free Range Chicken and Australian Pork knuckle have won rave reviews, and we could definitely understand why. But don't fixate on just those items though, because while the rotisserie may be the heart, Chef Stephane's deft touch and heartfelt recipes are the soul of what's on offer. Whether it be the tarte flambee, signature to his home town of Alsace, or his mother's apple pie recipe, there's a delicate balance of tradition and modernity in the food and the decor that makes the entire experience undeniably unique.

And when you finally look up from your empty plate, sated and satisfied, contemplate the open kitchen and the stoic, rustic materials of stone, wood, and cement. There's a soft harmony to the design that maintains an elegant poise, a perfect mirror to the generous food served by Chef Stephane paired with the impeccable service directed by manager Kori Millar. It's a restaurant born of dreams, love, and togetherness, and their motto, "Love on the Plate" couldn't be any more apt. (Jul 2013)

THE BUZZ

"There is nothing fancy, just everyday French fare, but it is food like this that one does not tire of. I went for dinner twice in a week and enjoyed the second visit as much as the first one, even with repeat dishes.

"There is nothing fancy, just everyday French fare, but it is food like this that one does not tire of. I went for dinner twice in a week and enjoyed the second visit as much as the first one, even with repeat dishes. Dishes such as the tarte flambee, which looks like a thin, rectangular pizza but with quite different toppings, win my heart at the first bite." -The Straits Times

"The menu is French-influenced but not strictly so. A Spanish-leaning octopus salad makes a showing on the lunch menu, a Moroccan-accented lamb shank with couscous at dinner. But the real stunners are the chicken, lamb and beef dishes crafted around the Rotisol, an electric-powered rotisserie oven that can hold up to 60kg of meats." -The Business Times

"When you eat here, you feel like you’re part of a family dinner, with Chef Stephane jovially bringing sharing feast platters to the table himself. The "made with love" feel of the mostly Alsatian dishes is evident from the care Stephane takes with his ingredients and preparation – all meat is brined first for moist succulence." -Expat Living

"The eclectic but tasteful mixture of styles, chosen by co-owner Kori Miller (former GM of Sky on 57), is likewise reflected in its French-inspired menu by her partner, chef Stephane Istel (formerly of db Bistro Moderne), which combines traditional cooking methods with the innovative use of ingredients."- Time Out Singapore
