Olive Tree Restaurant (InterContinental), Singapore

Light colours predominate in the decor of this restaurant. The selection of Mediterranean dishes here is unbelievably wide, and the buffet, though slightly pricey, delivers in terms of quality as well as quantity. Recommended dishes include the Spanish paella, creamy wild mushroom cappuccino soup and many other dishes including pasta, all lightly cooked yet packed with flavour. There is also the option of enjoying your meal in a cosy alcove. The wine list is adequate, with a dominance of European wines.
