Racines serves a bevy of dishes that spotlight authentic French cuisine, mixed with refined local Chinese dishes

 

An eclectic menu of classic French dishes and local Chinese specialities allows diners to order à la carte plates that hail from both near and far, many incorporating locally sourced, quality ingredients as well as herbs from the Sofitel Singapore City Centre’s own garden. There are classics, such as chicken satay and charred asparagus with hollandaise sauce, as well as more innovative renditions including burrata served with pickled peaches and shaved celery, and chicken and duck foie gras mousse topped with Chinese black wine vinegar and chilli oil. Generally, the food on offer is hearty and comforting rather than refined, and while the menu is diverse, the wine list to accompany it is limited.
