James Bond himself would melt right into this magical underground world of Singapore Sours, silk lanterns and dumplings. From the moment you descend the moody red-panelled staircase into The Red Room, prepare to be enchanted. 

This venture by Liam Tomlin and chef/partner David Schneider is a retro sophisticated celebration of Pan-Asian cuisines at the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel. While this might be The Nellie, don’t think you need to be a hotel guest to spin the lazy Susan – locals are most welcome.

Inspired by the melting pot that is Hong Kong -- where multiple Asian cultures co-exist -- this is Pan-Asian food done respectfully -- with dishes from China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand and Việt Nam, each given their due honour. In our house, you won’t find any fusion.

Choose how you want to travel…

An Asian-inspired cocktail from the plush lounge, a glass of wine from the unusual wine list or straight to the food. The Chefs’ Choice Menu with 12 small plates representing the Pan-Asian spectrum. Or assemble your own à la carte selection of small plates, dim sum and wood-fired robata grill items. Meat, pescatarian or vegetarian.

Dine in the restaurant, dine in the bar: there’s even a Dim Sum Lounge menu where you can order snacks to go with your drinks before and after the kitchen closes. No matter your chosen route, service will be formal, respectful and smart. 

Whether you close with a fortune cookie (with a message from the kitchen), a digestif or a pot of Imperial Lapsang Souchong tea, you will have travelled the Asian continent in style.

OUR PROMISE TO VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS

At The Red Room, we believe all dishes are created equally. Being vegetarian or vegan shouldn’t entail a sacrifice for either the diner or the chef, and we proudly offer abundant choices for both. This is no afterthought: great thought and care have gone into making sure that ALL these dishes are as delicious and exciting as everything else on our menu. If you have any other dietary restrictions, please let us know beforehand, or as soon as you arrive, so we can best serve you.
