Reviews of The Providore - (Downtown Gallery)

I have been to a number of Providore outlets and mostly frequent the ones at PLQ and Mandarin Gallery. So I really looked forward to visit this outlet that I never noticed previously. And it was also exciting given that they have two events on the same evening - a wine and spirit tasting event, and a private dining event with Beît Ballout & Chef Inderpal Singh who is the Masterchef Season 4 Winner. I like the vibrant and chic atmosphere of the entire place, and having a private dining next to the cooking studio was a truly memorable experience.

Walked in slightly before the lunch break. The grilled seabass with Mexican rice was pretty flavorful. The seabass was cooked perfectly and the skin was crispy. The sauce on the other hand didn't go very well with the entire dish. Hence minus one point for that. Service was good. Plenty of tables at the restaurant.

Hearty portions for soup and starter… but can’t say the same for the main (pasta). Decent range of vegetarian options. Great ambiance.

Now: Prices have increased $1-3 per item on average yet food and drinks standards have been dipping… from 5 stars to 2 stars from our family feedback unfortunately. Previous: Staffs are friendly and helpful, food is good though just slightly on the pricier side but acceptable for its taste and portion. Love the beef ribeye steak sandwich, it was incredible for its flavour and satisfying totally. Eggs Benedict were super shiok too, feeling the sauce, protein and greens. Quite a chill and relaxing place for catching up with old friends. Some things to shop around after visiting the restaurant within the area too. $2 for their Nordic filtered water though. 🚰💰

Ordered club sandwich! Love the generous ingredients (bacon, avocado, sunny side up) and spread of butter on the bread However, the Sourdough bread is way too tough to be eaten (honestly), and near impossible to cut.. The staff also mentioned that it is not possible for me to add on sides such as smoked salmon😟 Overall, this doesn’t taste very special, and I’m not sure if it is worth spending $20-30 on a sandwich. But definitely a place for many to conduct their business lunch.. do expect this place to be noisy

A large restaurant. I had the grilled Barramundi Fish with avocado mash and Mexican rice. It smelt fishy when it was served to our table. However, after I started eating, the fishy smell was gone and it was delicious. This fish dish cost $32++ and the pot of Rose Earl Grey Tea cost $9.50++. With taxes and service charge, it cost about $50 for one person. It is expensive. I will not return to dine there because of the poor value for money.

Had brunch here the other day. Started off with an iced black and it's one of the best coffee in Singapore. I paired it up with a nice cheese croissant, which was super flakey and had a delicious cheese centre. I ended my brunch off with the Panseared Barramundi. The Barramundi was cooked to perfection. Nice and crunchy on the skin side and well done meat. Ambience and service was top notch. Would highly recommend.

Came here for lunch on Friday and it was great. We ordered the sandwiches and they are absolutely delicious. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, really suitable for big groups. It is also quiet, great for conversations. You can make reservations through their official website. Cashless payments accepted. I'll definitely visit this place again. :)

The food is quite good. It is crowded during lunch hours as it's in the business district area. Ambience is ok but the air filtration system can be improved... your hair and clothes can smell of food.

Beautiful space to start and not only able to dine there, you will be able to purchase some produce. Had brunch, portion is huge and price is slightly above average. Overall it’s nice and quiet space to catch up with friends over meal. The team is obviously lack of Manning, do give them some time before they actually answer to your queries/ order.

Been dine-in at this outlet at least 2 times. Simply love their wide range of cheese. If you are the cheese lover, you will like this place. Another outlet whereby view is pretty to be dine-in at their patio - Mandarin Gallery.

Had a great late dinner with colleagues. Definitely a good place to catch up with your friends or business discussions. They serve good drinks and food too!

The ambient is comfortable and the staff services are attentive. The pumpkin salad and beef pasta are shared with my girlfriend, and the fresh fruit smoothie is thick and authentic. So we decided to end our brunch in Providore with coffee and a lava cake.

M. K.

Nice pour over coffee with cozy atmosphere. Good food selections of standard western options like Benedict eggs, salads etc. nothing special but good option especially on Sunday’s when everything is closed

L. W.

Not a place to come if food is your priority. Had the slow cooked braised beef ragout fettuccine but unfortunately the pasta was undercooked and tasteless. The beef was very average as well. Otherwise, decent place with loads of space to chill and do your work on a weekday.

Service was not the best especially during lunch hour. 🐟 Pan Seared Barramundi was alright and we waited for quite a while for this to be served. This was coupled with a few sides including mexican rice and homemade corn tortillas. Wouldn't say it's completely worth the price though ($31.50). 🍫 Traditional hot chocolate ($7.50) was comforting to have though I seem to recall that they used to serve it in a nicer presentation pre-covid.

L. G.

The ratolo was unique and good. The toastie was good, the cheese is amazing. But this place has a high price point...

J. L.

Really nice place but expensive and mediocre food. Also only premium sustainable water is available, at 2$ (free flow).

F. Y. L.

Food presentation was nice but taste and texture could be improved.

W. T.

Got the ham and cheese sandwich and club sandwich . Club sandwich was a tower stacked with load of Ingredients. Highly recommended!

W. Y. W.

Came here for the cakes that were once sold under the Kki brand. The cakes were pretty and they tasted good! This place is like a Marché concept, and had a lot more things that I’ve not tried.

D. P.

Located at B1, a bit tricky to find the escalator. Good place for meeting with friends.

A. C.

I truly appreciate the flexibility that they offer here at the outlet. They occupy most of the basement level, and has different counters serving different things. I'm especially impressed by their cheese room, where it's a refrigerated room that sells many variants of cheeses from different locations. Couple this with the wine corner (that has self service wine glasses), you know it's gonna be a good night out. If you're unsure what you want to eat (because there's pizza, pasta, salads, etc all from different places), do some takeaways and sit at any one of their tables, and you'll be perfectly alright; there's even no service charge for taking away!

i went to Providore at OUE Downtown on 17 May 2018. Location: it is located at basement 1 of the OUE Downtown building. Pretty accessible and convenient. Ambiance: actually it is quite cosy and could be romantic if it is in the evenings due to less crowd. Lunches is okay as there are more crowds. I saw they have cooking classes so it may be good idea if the couple can sign up for cooking class together. It is a nice dating idea! Food: I ordered the club sandwich that was pretty nice and filling. They had avocado and chicken and egg. The drink I ordered was the pineapple mint pressed juice that was refreshing. Price: The price is more on the high side. I think that this is more a "coffee shop" place than a high class western cuisine restaurant so the price offered is skewed towards the expensive. Overall: if you are looking for a corporate meal, it is a good place to go. If you are looking for a cosy corner in the evening for a chat, it is a good idea too in the business district. If you are looking for a romantic night out, it'd be nice for a one off date.

Guy in black attire with specs (the manager? ) Talks in a rude manner- consistent with other reviews here. I was standing there in a half empty restaurant waiting for a table, with him just standing next to me.But he simply continued to do his own thing at the counter, until his colleague came over. Soured the visit for me as the Other service staff and food was good

They do their Shakshouka properly. It goes with a pork sausage.

L. F.

Came here a couple of times for business coffee chats. Good atmosphere and calming decor, with a fair selection of hot and cold beverages, but the noise level in the cafe varies from time to time.

L. C.

Loved the food, drink and service. This is a larger Providore compared with other ones and you can walk around to see some groceries and kitchenware which are quite cute. It offers another type of experience. Wall seats also come with charge stations so we can bring our laptops and stay longer. The Apple pie was great :)

Z. R.

Fantastic interior ambience in the middle of town. Had Chai Latte and it was good. Gorgeous green wall.

T. G. T.

Great place to hang out for coffee. An extensive menu though quite pricey.

Downtown gallery overall looks like a hipster brother to the CBD counterparts, and The Providore fits right in at the basement. The food, wines and cheese offerings are very much en pointe, albeit a little pricier. They don't do service fee if you're taking away, and feel free to find a space around the place to just sit around and have your takeout, you won't be chased away unnecessarily. My absolute favourite that I was blown away by is the cheese room, and the dessert bar. There's not many places in Singapore that keeps their cheese refrigerated in a room, and has their cheeses displayed the way they do it. Super impressive and super lovely shopping and dining experience! Their strawberry cheesecake is out of this world if you manage to get hold of it. Pasta wise, their crab linguine and ragu pasta are also really good! Definitely worthy of a Friday evening hangout.

W. Q.

Overpriced for what it offers (standard cafe food). Also, don't order the ice cream cookies for dessert, they're disgusting and taste artificial.

C. S.

Beautiful place, interesting concept of a cafe / restaurant within a homeware / gift / liquor / coffee / tea shop. Just stopping by for a quick look since it only opened a few days ago, I'll be back again to try the food and drinks. Lots of nice pretty things suitable for housewarming gifts or your own home.

S. T.

Nice quiet spot for lunch in Shenton Way area. Food is decent

Nice environment, not crowded on weekends, but just average food.

R. S.

A good place for afternoon tea or breakfast. The food selection is wide, it tastes good and the different sections of the related shop (cheese room, anyone) have some treats for foodies.

J. H.

I love everything in providore just note that everything here is much more expensive than what you’d find in a normal hyper market, but the quality is everything they have is similar to what you’d find at eataly or Whole Foods which is what keeps us coming back. If you’re ever looking for a good loaf of sourdough bread this is our go to as well!

K. T.

Location is easy to find when in the CBD, though it’s not a must go to place, lacking in quality more standard than other cafes, same blend of coffee from other shops, Toast and jam expensive. Would not be a must to repeat the experience again

A. L.

The service crew at the restaurant and the lady staff at the bakery are friendly and smiley. The hot muffins are great too!!

T. M.

Favourite place to grab a drink and read a book in Singapore. Perfect store temperature & great selection of coffees and bar snacks

E. S.

Expensive Always come to the bakery which is nice.

H. S.

Nice ambient, one whole floor of Providore just for you. Huge amount of seats available. Price is on the high side too.

A multi-lifestyle one stop shop that has a Deli, Bakery, Grocery Store and even Cooking Studio. You can get quality goods here though it may come with a hefty price tag.

P. W.

Nice decor but disappointing food and service compared to other outlets, especially the sandwiches since they don't even have a grill at this outlet to make grilled sandwiches.
