The interiors harmonise contemporary elegance with a sophisticated rusticity, furnished with leather-clad banquette seats and plush, cream-coloured armchairs with glass-top tables.

Camille — Buyout
Camille’s interiors
Romantic and timelessly charming, Camille’s interiors meld old-world elegance with tasteful contemporary touches. Soft whites and beiges dress the walls, coupled with textures that evoke the soft caress of petals and curved branches and contrasted with mosaic wood flooring in a palette of rich browns. A floral theme carries throughout, with kinetic floral lights suspended from the ceiling, petal-like sconce wall lamps, sakura skies embroidered on seat cushions, and budding cherry blossoms decorating wooden screen panels. The entire space seats up to 86, on lush mauve velvet dining chairs around polished marble tables — out on the verandah, picturesque sea views of the Singapore Straits mesmerise; indoors, guests may spectate the symphonic workings of the open kitchen.
Esora — Private Dining Room
Esora’s Private Dining Room
Set in a heritage shophouse on Mohamed Sultan Road, one-Michelin-starred modern kappo restaurant Esora carves a space of welcoming tranquillity. The main counter sits below a skylight dressed in textured Japanese washi paper, through which shifting clouds are seen and radiant sunlight diffuses — a visual allusion to the restaurant’s name, “painting in the sky”. Natural materials like timber and stone evoke the seasons; marble and copper add a contrasting contemporary edge. Rounded lines and coves complete a picture of elegance. The private dining room seats a party of eight, ensconcing guests in an atmosphere of calm created by light woods, neutral tones and smooth geometry. The nature-forward interiors are reflective of the cuisine served, which embraces the finest produce of the season in an immersive sensorial journey.

A palette of clean neutrals in combination with richer woods and greens contribute to a theme of botany and seasonality, alluding to the restaurant’s focus on vegetable-centric cuisine. The pièce de résistance of the restaurant’s decor is the custom art on the folding doors that separate the private dining room — the Alpine Room — from the main dining hall, depicting pines on a misty winter morning. Seating a minimum of four and up to 16 guests, JAG offers flexible set-up options within the Alpine Room. For larger events, the restaurant holds up to 40, and comfortably 60 for standing events. As a no-menu establishment, Restaurant JAG cooks for the guest, tailoring menus to one’s liking.

At The Prince, traditional Arabian cuisine finds reinvention with modern flair. For intimate gatherings, the Private Room seats up to 12, a chamber furnished with a stately wooden table and deep blue velvet chairs.
