Gunther’s

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


The dining room is an art-deco affair, however the tentacle-like wooden accents gives you the unsettling feeling you're about to become a giant squid's lunch! Thankfully the service (immaculate), presentation (classy) and the food (tasty) will soon distract you from the unsettling environs. If you can’t decide what to order, the maître d’ does a very good show-and-tell using the day’s produce.
