As I have already done a full review on Restaurant Arras v1.0 at Welsh
Bay, this will be mostly a picture post. Nevertheless I have to say I’m head-over-heels
with Restaurant Arras v2.0 at Clarence St. The food is exceptional, menu much
more comprehendible (those of you who have been to Arras v1.0 would know what I'm talking about), service impeccable, and all I think about after tonight is
their undefeatable petit fours!!

advice: Asides their 3 course carte menu ($90 pp) and degustation menu
($140 pp), be sure to check out their daily menu that changes every couple of
days depending on availability (two courses for $50, three courses for $70,
coffee/tea and Arras petit fours for an additional $12). The restaurant manager
and wait staff are brilliant and genuine, so let they know what you’re after
and I’m sure they will amaze you with what they can do for you.
Glad to see they're still going strong.
ReplyDeleteThe petit fours tray brings out the kid in everyone!
ReplyDeleteHi Joey,
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely think they’re excelling. To me the new location is much more accessible, I can’t wait to go back again!
Hi Helen,
Our eyes literally brightened up when they brought out the spectacular tray.
Our affable waiter insisted that we take as much as we wanted and pointed out a couple we just had to try.
It makes the whole experience extra fun and special!
