Located on level 33 of The Westin Singapore, classy gastro-bar Cook & Brew is a fantastic venue for any meal throughout the day.
Come 26th September 2015 and every subsequent last Saturday of the month, Cook & Brew will launch its first ever new dining concept – Saturday Night Roasts – where meat lovers get to indulge in unlimited servings of selected premium roasted meat. This exciting monthly fiesta will be made available every subsequent last Saturday of the month.
Guess why we love an amazing gastrobar like Cook & Brew? Well, it has to be the great food and equally astounding drinks. Perched on the 33rd level of The Westin Singapore, you also get treated to panoramic views of the city.
The Westin Singapore’s Executive Chef, Chef Aaron Foster, has added new items to Cook & Brew’s lunch and dinner menus. Drawing inspiration from his travels as well as working in award-wining dining establishments in New York, Toronto and Bangkok, he has developed an affinity for various cuisines that is reflected in his dishes.
If you and your partner are looking to tie the knot, look no further.

Sunday’s the day for you to unwind and what better way to spend it than with The Westin Singapore’s Lazy Sunday Lunch Buffet at Seasonal Tastes? Choose from a wide array of fresh seafood, grilled meats and even a live pasta and noodle station.
Start your buffet at The Westin Singapore off with a range of artisanal cheeses that includes brie, mozzarella, cheddar and unique selections like the Wensleydale Cranberry Cheese. Head on to the cold-cuts section after having a pick of the cheeses and choose from meats like beef brisket, salami, pastrami and other ham cuts.
An oasis of calmness in the middle of Singapore’s Central Business District. The Lobby Lounge at The Westin Singapore never fails to make us feel relaxed upon stepping in.
The Westin Singapore has just launched one of the bests – if not the best – afternoon tea sets in Singapore. Highlights of the Seafood & Champagne Afternoon Tea include a whole Poached Canadian Lobster, two freshly shucked oysters, Lobster Rolls, Soft Shell Crab, Éclairs, Chocolate Ganache Cake, Tarts, as well as two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. It is well-priced at S$85++ for two – which is a real steal for the sheer quality that you will be getting.
Fans of Seasonal Tastes, rejoice because there is an upcoming Seafood Indulgence buffet dinner from 19 – 28 Mar 2015! We don’t know about you, but the word ‘seafood’ alone is enough to get us all excited.
Now, listen up. In addition to the existing international buffet spread that is mouthwateringly sumptuous no less, there will a crazy lineup of the prized treasures of the ocean - Canadian oysters, warm Oysters Rockefeller with spinach, bacon and parmesan, Oysters Diane with cheese and hollandaise, lobsters, prawns, salmon sashimi, Clams Casino baked with bread crumbs, as well as a Seafood Paella.
Sounds like a seafood feast, no?
There are restaurants that we return to because we love the ambiance, there are those that we return to because the prices are friendly, then there are also those that hold a special place in our hearts simply because the team of chefs and waitstaff are like friends to us.
Cook & Brew at The Westin Singapore is one of those places, and it is not your typical restaurant. It is a gastrobar, sitting high on the 33rd level and with a glimpse of the city from above, with an exuberant team who are ever passionate about their food and beers, and a comprehensive menu that covers your bar snacks, mains, desserts and all the beers that you can ever dream of.
A recent change of menu had us revisiting the gastrobar, and Chef Aaron has a lot to impress, indeed. On a side note, his humble personality and comical expressions make it so easy to like him. Hailing from Canada, this man is famed for making his own sausages and meatballs, and man, do we need those with our beers!
But of course, Cook & Brew’s new menu is so fascinating that you might just need more trips back to try everything. Here are some highlights from its revamp, and 12 star dishes that you definitely must try from Cook & Brew’s new menus:
Valentine’s Day is just less than two weeks away, and if you haven’t thought of what present to get for your partner – we have the answer for you.
So they say, “when someone gives you his/her time, s/he is giving you a part of their lives that they cannot get back.” Make the special occasion count, let Valentine’s Day be so memorable that the moments will be etched in your hearts forever. Every reason to splurge, every reason to pamper, and more than that, love should be frivolous and unrestrained.
