The brains behind hit natural wine bar SOiF have given the somewhat screened-away space on Surpass Court’s fourth floor a Mediterranean makeover. Keeping the previous venue’s name, they’ve freshened it up into an elegant-but-casual European-Asian eatery, albeit without the emphasis on natural wines. (Traditional tipples mostly chosen from France and Italy anchor the sommelier selection instead and are rotated weekly.) The wines are designed to match a food menu that channels coastal vibes with contemporary touches. Go for the melt-in- your-mouth toothfish served with pea purée or the kitchen’s take on the shrimp cocktail served with sweet tiger prawn tails.
