Double the Buzz: Chef Andrew Walsh and Cure Concepts Hit the High Notes
Six‑sensory magic, Michelin sparkle, and a brand‑new wine lounge all rolled into one spectacular day. Talk about a double whammy that would make even the Mandarin proverb “good things come in pairs” blush.
The One Star, The Big Reveal
- Cure – the intimate, chef‑curated dining spot – lands its first Michelin star.
- Club Street Wine Room – a sleek, new lounge concept that pairs perfectly with the gourmet kitchen.
- Both debuts happen on the same calendar date, creating a celebration that feels like a well‑timed duet.
Why This is a Night to Remember
Think of it as the culinary equivalent of seeing your favorite movie and then getting the next chapter released in the same weekend. Chef Andrew Walsh and his crew didn’t just stop at savouring five‑star recognition; they crafted an entire experience that invites diners to sip, savor, and soak in a vibe that’s as cozy as a Sunday brunch.
Inside the Magic
- Menu concepts crafted with “elevated yet approachable” in mind.
- Wine selection that’s curated to complement every bite.
- Atmosphere that feels like a private gathering rather than a tourist hotspot.
Bottom line? Andrew Walsh and Cure Concepts have taken the Chinese adage and turned it into a living testament: when good runs in tandem, the results are unforgettable.

Welcome to the Unexpected Wine Spot
Forget what you think a wine bar should look like – this 45‑seat room on Club Street is all about good vibes, not vintage décor. Whether you’re just popping in for a chill glass of wine and a snack or planning to dive into a full plate, the space feels like a friendly hug.
Bright Meets Easy
The star of the room? A massive skylight that hangs over the communal bar area. When the sunshine streamed in during our Sunday brunch visit, it turned the place into an airy, open‑hearted enclave that’s perfect for a relaxed midday hangout.
Why It Works
- Large & open: Plenty of room, plenty of light – no cramped corners.
- Inclusive vibe: From quick drinks to hearty meals, everyone’s welcome.
- Sunday brunch bonus: Suited for easy smiles and good conversations.

Club Street Wine Room: Singapore’s Sparkling Pioneer
Who says you need a fancy label for a pop‑pop? Club Street Wine Room has just broken the rule by offering free‑flowing Petä́tillant Naturel (commonly called Pet‑Nats)—the sparkling wine that’s been aging wine in bottles since the 1800s. The idea? Bubbles, no fuss, and a splash of old‑world charm right in the heart of Singapore.
What Makes Pet‑Nats Different?
- Traditional bottle fermentation—no pressurized tanks.
- Crisp, street‑smart bubbles that pop on every sip.
- Minimal intervention means a natural palate that sings.
Spotlight on Kalkspitz Pet‑Nat NV
Imported from the limestone‑rich Kremstal region in Australia, Kalkspitz Pet‑Nat NV is the flagship offering. At $78++ per person (for a two‑hour tasting session), it’s a gem for those who enjoy:
- Light, effervescent layers that dance on the tongue.
- A refreshing acidity that reminds you of orchard breezes and citrus sunshine.
- A natural palate cleanser that’s perfect between the diverse brunch plates the kitchen serves.
Why It’s a Must‑Try
Picture this: you’re sitting at a cozy corner, a glass of Pet‑Nat in hand, and the menu’s offering an array of bold flavors. Every sip of the Kalkspitz Pet‑Nat is a reset button, readying your taste buds for the next savory, sweet, or spicy surprise.
In Short
Club Street Wine Room’s free‑flowing Pet‑Nats are a toast to the simplicity and joy of sparkling wine. If you’re looking for a drink that’s both a conversation starter and a palate savior, this place is your new go‑to. Cheers!

Brunch Highlights: From Tartare to Omelette
1⃣ Beef Tartare & Scallop Toast ⇢ $16 (2 pieces)
We kicked off the meal with what everyone’s been raving about. This dish is as delicious as the buzz around it, thanks to George Bank’s scallop mousse riding neatly between crisp toast points. The wasabi‑mayo‑dressed tartare brings the steaky kick, but the conundrum is the confit egg yolk in pónzu – a little goes a long way or it’ll drown the beef’s boldness. Think of it as a delicate dance of savory notes; a splash and you’re floating in flavor, a splash too much and the groove gets lost.
2⃣ Smoked Haddock Cheese & Chive Omelette ⇢ $24 (weekend brunch exclusive)
- This isn’t your usual fold‑over omelette. It lands hot in a cast‑iron pan.
- Croutons crown the top for that crispy counter‑balance against the fluffy, creamy eggs.
- Flavor powerhouse: smoked haddock, parmesan, & a creamy mornay sauce.
- Best served shared – because who doesn’t want a portion of a golden breakfast masterpiece?

Weekend Roast & Toast Set at Club Street Wine Room
Ready to break a sweat (or just your appetite?)? Grab our Weekend Roast & Toast Set – a hearty, wallet‑friendly option that starts at $58 plus extra charges. Think of it as the all‑in‑one dinner you never knew you were missing.
How It Works
- Pick Your Superstar: Choose between the Apple Wood‑fired Guinea Fowl & Pithivier Pie with a zesty black pepper chicken jus, or the Organic Pork Sausage Toad in the Hole (yes, that’s a dish, and we love it).
- Let the Kitchen Do Its Thing: The chef chops the game bird right before you serve it—freshness guaranteed, no pre‑cut regret.
- Pair It Up: The set already includes a classic Beef Fat Yorkshire Pudding, but we went for the flame‑kissed game bird because it deserves the spotlight.
- Side Faves: Savor the sharp contrast of Endive & Cashel Blue Cheese Waldorf Salad (normally $24) and the expertly grilled Wood‑fired Asparagus & Lemon—crisp, bright, and the perfect counterpoint to the savory mains.
Why It’s Worth Every Penn:
With one small price hike, you get a whole menu’s worth of tasting portions. This “all‑in‑one” package gives you a taste of the house, a nod to those ‘elevated’ dishes without the whole course price tag. So, why not give your taste buds a spa day?

Club Street Wine Room’s Weekend Brunch Highlights
Seafood Surprise – Scallop & Prawn Vol au Vent Thermidor
Price: $14 a la carte.
Picture a silky buttery shell filled with juicy scallops that your grandma would approve of and lively prawns that wouldn’t mind an adventure. The dish is crowned with a generous splash of bright ikura—those little salmon roe pearls that feel like tiny fireworks. If you love a taste that’s both luxurious and playful, this is the ticket.
Potato Royalty – Woodfired Potato Flatbread
Price: $8 a la carte.
Imagine a rustic flatbread that’s been kissed by the fire, giving it that unforgettable smoky edge. Inside, tender potato slices hop into a buttery spread while a drizzle of bone‑marrow bacon delivers that savory punch you’ll feel in your gut. It’s the kind of comfort food that turns the whole meal into an “I’m-home‑yet” moment.
Sweet Finale – Sticky Toffee Pudding

If you’re not a connoisseur of desserts, no worries! Club Street Wine Room’s sticky toffee pudding is a stand‑alone champ. The balance between creamy pudding and indulgent caramel is spot on, thanks to a dollop of ginger‑infused chantilly. It’s sweet, it’s buttery, and it’s a hug in dessert form.

Cheers to the Wine Maestro
Before we head for the exit, give a nod to Head Sommelier and Operations Director Amir Solay, the brain behind the bar’s funky drink lineup. From classic vintages to bold experiments, every glass on the menu is worth a taste.
Stellar Picks
- Koerner Watervale 2020 Riesling – $20
Think of it as a breezy trip to Australia’s Clare Valley: crisp green apple, zesty lemon, a whisper of earth, and just enough acidity to keep your palate dancing.
- Chateau Kefraya Collection Amphora 2018 – $29 (amphora‑aged)
Pour a splash of rich dark cherry, and you’ll encounter a full‑bodied marvel with an aroma of leather, spices, and a touch of forest floor. On the tongue, it’s a velvet affair of black cherries, almond crunch, and a smudge of cinnamon.
Why It Matters
Amir’s craft isn’t just about the bottles; it’s about whisking you on a taste adventure. Each pour tells a story—whether it’s a sunny Aussie morning or a mellow Middle‑Eastern evening. So next time you sip, remember the guy who makes the magic happen.
