Attended the White Horse for lunch on 7/3/25
Lunch turned into afternoon drinks in the rooftop.
What a wonderful experience.
Service, food and drink offerings were all exceptional. And being able to move upstairs after lunch was an added extra benefit. The staff both up and downstairs were attentive knowledgeable and accommodating to all requests.
The Food …. Yum
Just yum.
Elegant presentation with complex flavours and ingredients across all dishes.
Thanks again to all staff.

Definitely a hidden gem. We had the set menu and everything on the menu was simply amazing. Would highly recommend adding the Roasted Chicken Skin with Liver Mousse and the Dry aged Duck with Cherry and Daikon. Don’t forget to check the bar upstairs for post dinner drinks, the balcony is very cute and breezy. Service was great and the decor and interior was beautiful.

Went for a weeknight dinner and had a delicious meal for 4. The mains really shine, would recommend the salmon, chicken leg and the side of brassica (cabbage). Dessert is nice but nothing to write home about however ! The brie ice cream quite unique flavour. It's also one hatted and the service impeccable. It can get a bit dark and mood lighting like most other restaurants but not noisy.

Five stars all around.   What a great place to enjoy a fancy dinner.   It’s a beautiful dining space.   The service was excellent.

We enjoyed everything we ordered.   The bread with butter was fresh and paired nicely with the drizzle of honey.    The salad great.  We also ordered the pork belly.  Then french toast portion made it a little texturally mushy for some.

The steak and seafood dishes were delicious.

Don’t forget to save room for the Brie ice cream.

decor is nice, it has low lighting and styled like a modern home. the honey butter was sweet and a nice way to start the meal. I had the spritz and it was very light and refreshing!

the oysters were nice too. the ricotta dumplings were really nice and creamy without being too heavy. the pumpkin added a nice crunch texture to it.

the wagyu was nice, the toppings and extras were not that nice though.

the brie ice cream was nice and not too sweet or cheesy.

overall a nice spot!
