Originally built in 1918 and left empty since 2003, Alkaff Mansion has been painstakingly conserved and restored to its glory of yesteryear. Characterised by its colonial architecture, European-styled fountains and a romantic gazebo, Alkaff Mansion Ristorante is now a fine dining Italian restaurant which also features a terrace area and a stylish bar. The nuffnang girls and I had our lunch here a few days ago.

Alkaff Mansion Ristorante serves authentic Tuscan Italian cusine to both lunch and dinner crowd alike. Their 2 storey mansion provides a stylish yet comfortable experience.

From the ala carte menu, the traditional Lobster Bisque ($24) with Tarragon scent and orange was rich and delish, and you can find some traces of lobster meat.

The linguine ($36) comes loaded with thick chunks of spanner crab & grated grey mullet roe “Bottarga”. It releases well-balanced sweet and sour taste sensations and has become one of the restaurant’s bestseller.

Alkaff Mansion also offers 3 course set lunch at $36++ each. Soup of the day was cauliflower soup.

The waitress recommended us to try their Slow Cooked Chicken Leg and we enjoyed it thoroughly. They are slow-cooked rotisserie style, so you get a chicken that is tender and juicy. It is served with oven baked rosemary potatoes and mustard sauce.

Although I rarely like risotto, I enjoyed the version here – ‘Porcini’ mushrooms risotto superfino ‘Acquerello’ with Thyme. It had good bite and the truffle oil gave it a subtle scent of mushrooms.

A very nicely plated Mixed fruits with “Marsala” Sabayon in a crispy coconut & Sesame basket. The coconut basket was slightly too hard for my liking. But the sabayon is definitely creamy and not too sweet.
