Zén Singapore Reviews from The Last Year
Zen Again
In town for my 40th, sans kids, and had to go back to Zen. Waxed lyrical about it last time (“best restaurant we’ve ever been to, blah blah blah”) so were a little trepidatious it wouldn’t live up to the memory. To be completely honest, it didn’t quite. But it was still fantastic! Restaurant itself and food were as brilliant as last time (March 2023), with plenty of change, but some old favourites remaining. I said it last time, but this is one of the very few restaurants that actually make truffle work. Usually it’s just grated or sliced onto a standard dish and you get charged $30-40 for the “upgrade”. Zero thought given. Zen actually work with it so that it truly compliments, and is complimented by, the dish. I am of course talking about the “French Toast”, which is one of the group’s flagship courses. So I suppose it has to be good. But every course splendid, from the snacks on the ground floor to the waffles in the attic. We love the atmosphere and music, but being children of the 90s and students of the 00s I think the tunes are exactly to our tastes. Very much indie pop in the main dining room. Which is still trendsetting for Michelin starred restaurants. The only thing that was probably a little better on our last visit was the service. Lisa was phenomenal that time, but has been prompted to restaurant manager I think since (richly deserved, it seems to us) so was spread a little more thinly. Great for the restaurant, she still seems phenomenal, selfishly bad for us seeing less of her! There was also some sort of VIP couple who had a gravity all of their own. But overall service still excellent. It’s like synchronised swimming, plates and cutlery and glasses coming and going in unison. It really is a sight to behold. And Jarred continues to be an absolute joy to see, such a lovely man and brilliant at what he does. Didn’t realise at the time that it was head chef Tristin Farmer’s last service, so will be fascinating when next we return to see if much changes with a new kitchen lead. And we’ll definitely be returning. Can’t wait to try his next venue too. Zen, in our opinion, is the best restaurant in Singapore and up there with the best we’ve ever visited. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience!
Wow! This was such a good experience. The food was amazing and the service was the best! Friendly staff with a lot of humor. The setting was fantastic!
I have been to a few and Michelin restaurants, but this
I have been to a few and Michelin restaurants, but this Michelin restaurant was nothing short of perfection! The overall experience feels very exclusive, yet warm, welcoming and engaging at the same time. You get this authenticity from the staff, that is quite unique from other restaurants I have been to. Everyone excelled at connecting with their guests in a way that feels authentic and effortless, like a well orchestrated group, who's purpose was to ensure that you enjoyed every second of the experience, as it is to be expected at a 3 Michelin restaurant. I cannot express the overwhelming sensation of each and every bite. Anything I write, will certainly fall short. Everything that we had was an explosion of flavor, delicate enough to not disrupt the next bite, but with the sensuality to make you desire for more. Each and every detail accentuated the comfort and the enjoyment of simply being there. From the lively music playing just loud enough to still hear your conversation, to the Scandinavian esthetics, and the detail in which our servers tried to inform us of the source of the food, the flavors that we would experience, and the upscale and delicate plating of each dish. And as impressive as it was... they still incorporated an element of surprise to cap off the experience for us. I will let you find out for yourselves.
Excellent inventive dining
Top grade ingredients (in generous portions), inventive cooking techniques and presentation and an innovative "dining journey" format where you are taken through different floors of the restaurant as the course progress. Lots of reviews in the press describing the dining experience so I wont repeat here save to say its reputation is well deserved. It is pricy but you fully get your money's worth.
Thanks Pollyana
I've read several detailed reviews of this wonderful establishment and need not repeat. My experience was that this was the most expensive lunch I have eaten, I probably liked the French Les Amis the day prior a bit more but this experience was far more creative in presentation and varied in flavors. I may not prefer Scandinavian twists, but it was still great and I am happy to have had the experience. I was traveling alone and the 3 hour event was substantially elevated by my clever server, Pollyana. Thank you for the enjoyable conversation!
Knowledgeable staff, great menu and drinks pairing
Great, consistent experiences from 2x visits to Zen. Loving the experiential side of this place, the service and great knowledge of the staff, delicious delicious food, unpretentious ambience, great non alcohol/ wine/ mix non alcohol & wine pairing.
Falls short of the Frantzén Stockholm standard
I write my review of Zén in Singapore as a three-time visitor to Frantzén, the original operation in Stockholm and the Mother Ship of the Frantzén empire. I am a well traveled foodie, and I can confidently say that my meals at Frantzén in Stockholm are among the best I have ever had. Expensive, yes, but the food and experience were worth it. Zén in Singapore fell short of the standards of Frantzén in Stockholm in several respects. On the surface, Zén is meant to emulate the Frantzén experience. Both restaurants are multi-story, with each level of the restaurant playing a role. You start with champagne to accompany many delectable snacks, before moving to the display of today’s ingredients and the explanation that accompanies them. You then move to the main dining level to have your savory courses, followed by desserts and digestifs at the final level. The food was absolutely delicious. No doubt about it. But I would say the quality of the food was the only attribute where Zén met the Frantzén standards. The experience is meant to be fun and informal, balancing out the seriousness of the food and drink. At Frantzén the staff was gregarious and lots of fun. They really enjoyed showing you the amazing space and talking to you about all the ingredients and all the experimental things going on. The experience of moving around the amazing building on different levels really makes the meal. The Singapore experience paled by comparison. The tour I received was very perfunctory and low energy. For example, as we walked by the dozens of jars of pickled vegetables in Stockholm my guide gave me a fun and detailed rundown on some of the coolest new ingredients and concepts being tried out. In Singapore, my guide walked right by and just said that Swedes really like to pickle food. No one at any point told me anything about the historic building the restaurant was located in. I found out about its significance after the fact. There was also no comparison between the personnel I interacted with at each location. Except for a Swedish staff member, who was very engaging, I found the Zen staffers to be basically going through the motions with far less engagement than their Stockholm colleagues. Most importantly, the value of the experience in Singapore was very poor. My check came to almost twice what I paid in Frantzén. And for that, I actually got less food and wine instead of more. At Frantzén when you get the champagne during the initial snack introduction they will refill your glass. At Zén, for US$50 you get one small glass of champagne and that’s it. Expecting the Stockholm experience, I made the mistake of drinking the champagne with the first three snacks, leaving none for the last two. In Stockholm, the snacks continue as you’re getting an explanation of the ingredients you’re about to try. While I did not count the number of courses, it seems I had at least two fewer than I had in Stockholm. One of the signature courses, the truffle toast, was smaller in size and the truffles were pre-sliced instead of prepared table-side. Much less fun than it could have been, and much less generous. I found the wines to be unremarkable and much less memorable. Finally, the dessert chef seemed much less imaginative. Instead of the amazing creations I was used to in Stockholm. I had a couple of basic dishes, including Japanese fruit. I understand how remarkable this fruit can be. I also understand the best way to pay tribute to it is to serve it by itself with no enhancements. But I could have done this myself at home. I understand that prices at high-end restaurants in Singapore are much higher than elsewhere as this is an extremely rich place and people can afford to pay almost anything. However, if you are going to charge prices like these then, at a minimum, should you not strive to provide the same experience as you do at your mother ship?

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
