Praelum Wine Bistro

We ordered: Pork Pockets - tasty but can get sick of it if consume too much. Good for sharing Angus Steak - delicious Chicken & Mash - average Key Lime Pie - average

Food is freshly made and has great flavor even though we were told this is mainly a wine tasting place. On the pricey side. Overall, would have given 6 if not for ambience which was ruined by a large very noisy group of wine tasters. Also, replacing the plastic chairs will help with upping the ambience.

The service was excellent. The Angus beef steak and salmon that we ordered were delicious. I love the key lime pie but my friend found it too sour. Overall, great dining experience and will definitely go back again.

Nice Food, good environment, friendly staff and thoughtful. Love their baby ribs it was really delicious. Good place for a drink with choices of beverages.

Very nice food, the baked Camembert was a highlight with a side salad and friendly staff. Tried a different very nice wine than would normally have.

Nice cosy place and very obliging service. The food was delicious as well as the wine (the beverages are a little expensive. Anyway I would definitely go back.

It's only my second time here but the owner remembered me and the wine I liked, and we were treated like royalty! So rare to find somewhere in Singapore with such amazing service. Will be back here for the food soon :)

A very relaxed vibe. Service was a bit rushed as the place was rather busy. Lots of interesting wines by the glass. The food menu is small, but the dishes we had were excellent - baked Brie, roasted prawns, salmon and beef cheeks, followed by chocolate fondant. Would recommend it!

High quality food and wine. There was a large (comparative to the small bistro anyway) rowdy party on the day we were there so ambience was a little spoilt plus service was nothing memorable as their attention was on the bigger party.

We had a very enjoyable evening. The ambiance was nice and the service was good. It's a nice place to spend an evening with good friends.

A great place to sample a wide variety of wines paired with excellent food. I will certainly consider going there again with a bigger group of wine loving friends.

Gerald is awesome in providing good tips on affordable wine out of their very fairly extensive winelist. Service and food was lacking a bit, but can be sorted out to enhance the dining experiences. Will be back again for the wine!

Waited a long time for a table even though we made a reservation. Thank the food for being consistently good. Or the wait would have ticked me off

We really enjoyed ourselves. Good food, great wine and a casual friendly atmosphere I found Praelum an excellent place to catch up with friends and unwind.

Roasted Brie was great. Wide variety of wines but rather pricey. Also dispenser to try the weekly wine special was faulty so could try that.

My partner and I had the pork parcels and salmon en-croute. The food was well-executed and unique. I personally felt that a little side salad would have given the dishes some balance and improved their overall presentation (they looked a little bare). On a random note, we noticed that the price difference between the menus in the restaurant and the one displayed on their website had price differences of about $10+ per dish. This is quite a jump and should be updated. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my meal here and recommend this place even for those who are not wine lovers.

Nice restaurant with a good ambiance. Friendly service crew and sommelier who upped the whole dining experience with detailed and good recommendation of wine! Food was averagely good tho tad salty for my palate. Beef cheeks were very tender and love the bread too! will definitely be back =) Observed that the restaurant has a lot of regulars/friends. pretty much a good sign

The sommelier, Gerald at the restaurant was very helpful with our choice of wine. I would certainly come back again as they seem to know what they are selling.

Food was very good and the service was excellent. They were very knowledgeable about their wine and dishes. Lots of backstory on the wines as well. Will definitely come again.

service was fine. Wine list was long enough, but not something outstanding. Food was ok and that is why I rate it 4: nothing special, boringly cooked. I would not recommend it for dinning, only for drinking

Great selection of wines available in a small and cosy setting. Really enjoyed the dinner and drinks. Would love to see more variety on menu!

Great food and wine selection. Pork parcels and cod fritters were great! Riesling was pretty good too. As always, owner Gerald was fantastic and gave us a brief history of wine making in both Burgundy and Germany.

Great restaurant, enjoyed the food and the personalised wine recommendations. Noisy due to a rowdy group seated next to us, but I definitely would go back.

Food quality is good. The pork parcels are definitely a must try. However, when I made my reservation, I did state that I was going to use the entertainer 1-for-1 promo. They didn't say it couldn't be used that day even though they did contact me to ask about special requests and only informed me when I got to the restaurant.

Good service, good food, but can be more value for money

The Baked Brie was absolutely divine. The main courses also fared quite well. Found the wine selection a little costly but that's Singapore for you :)

Try the steak, seriously. You won't regret it. Service is also consistently good, with the staff well-trained to provide lots of good advice on wines and wine pairings for the food.

Food was impeccable and service was great. But the place could do better with some air conditioning. Our food took a tad long to reach the table but it could be due to the crowd on a Friday night.

Good food and wine! Excellent and attentive service. Servers are knowledgeable with both food and wine menu which is an extra thumbs up. But they no longer serve wine tasting portions.

a great spot, made enjoyable by the good food and wine and the very attentive and friendly staff who certainly add to the overall experience

Not what it was. Missed the opportunity to try small tastings of many wines on demand - now just wine by the glass. Not the same :-(

Extremely friendly service from Zack and Gerald, food was great and the ambience was cosy. 10/10 will return again for more drinks and dinner. Highly recommended.

Great food and great wine list. Great atmosphere as well

Nice ambience, food was nicely presented and was very good. Only drawback was the wine selection although extensive, was abit pricey.

Excellent food (we had the lamb and angus steak) and fantastic friendly people as always :) also we had the key lime pie which wasn't fantastic but was still a good end to the meal. One thing to note: we used the entertainer app, which at Praelum covers almost everything in the menu. So do take note that desserts are considered in the same category as mains and thus the cheapest item (usually the dessert) will be free. Order two mains if you wish to take full advantage of the promo :) Thanks Praelum for always delivering a satisfying meal.

Always a great time at Praelum! Good wine recommendation from Gerald and food complemented the wine very well too. Dessert (key lime pie) could be improved though.

A overall decent experience at Praelum Wine Bistro. Restaurant has an extensive wine list but food menu needs to be more comprehensive to complete the experience.

Good wine selection however there are only four main and two premium main courses. Took the baby back rib and was disappointed. The toasted Brie is good.

Only went there for the food so cant rate the wine experience. Food was alright, not bad but didn't think it was fantastic either. Portions were on the small side, had to order extra mash to make up the carbs. The kitchen also took a little long to serve up the dishes despite most tables only having wine and not food.

Bottle of 1999 red wine ordered was a bit off. It was replaced, no questions asked. Full marks for professional integrity. Food was great as usual.
