Cheek Bistro

Published - 17 July 2020, Friday

A concept by Chef Rishi Naleendra and his wife Manuela Toniolo, the newly opened Cheek Bistro offers modern Australian fare - marrying the fresh, eclectic flavours of the cuisine style, with the comforting, hearty notes of bistro cooking.

The kitchen is helmed by a young culinary team that trained under Chef Rishi at Cheek by Jowl. 

"We earned our Michelin stars together in the last two years. Now, Cheek Bistro is where they can fully express their culinary perspectives and continue to excite palates," shares Chef Rishi. 

Highlights on the à la carte menu include distinctively Cheek creations of Beef Tartare with Millet, Smoked Maple, Endives; Spanish Mackerel with Zucchini, Basil; and dessert of Goat's Cheese Parfait with Berries, White Chocolate

To complement the food, the wine list offers over 80 labels from Burgundy to Burgenland. Cocktails and other beverages are also available. 

Fans of the former Cheek by Jowl can expect to enjoy the same level of casual but attentive service that the restaurant was known for, in a more convivial setting that features cosy booth seats and an open kitchen.

Cheek Bistro, adorned with one Michelin star, teams up with the prestigious Cloudstreet to ensure you get the meal you deserve in the comfort of your home. Some hot favourites include the red snapper Fish n Chips with little green peas and some creamy tartare sauce, satisfying Steak Fries which come with Ribeye or Striploin, soy and wasabi that will knock your brains off, and the decadent, yet equally tangy Kumquat and Chocolate tart. Either that or get cheesy with the cheese platter- hard, soft and blue cheese, fruit chutney, a dollop of raisin jam, dried cranberries and fresh grapes. This is food done just right.

Run by husband and wife team Chef Rishi Naleendra & Manuela Toniolo, Cheek Bistro was recently awarded a Michelin star, and it’s not hard to see why. Serving up authentic Australian fare such as Barramundi (with bonito butter, braised leeks & puffed rice at SGD $36) and Lamb Ribs (with eggplant, yoghurt & mint for SGD $28), all their dishes are available in small or large sharing plates. Customers rave about their Burrata (with heirloom tomato and fermented green chili at SGD $28) & their Buttermilk Quail (with sriracha mayonnaise for SGD $28), but the truth is you could try pretty much any dish here and leave a very happy chappie. The ambience is both classy & casual; complementing the food perfectly.
