Vineyard at HortPark

The duck leg was tender and flavourful, with a nice crispy skin. The juicy duck meat went well with the sweet Marsala jus and the soft barley risotto it was served alongside.

While it was a decent dish overall, it is hard to justify the high price point. However, it is a good choice for those who want a poultry dish other than chicken, and for those able to use the Burpple Beyond deals.

Using the prized Carnaroli rice in place of the typical Arborio rice, one would expect the risotto to be creamy and decadent. While Vineyard’s version was definitely smooth and creamy, the risotto was a little watery and there was a puddle of stock left behind in the bowl.

However, the risotto was very flavourful, and one can definitely taste the mushrooms in the dish. The accompanying enoki crisps on top added a nice crunch, while pieces of mozzarella cheese added an additional richness that complemented the dish well.

Featuring a combination of thick-cut fries and sweet potato fries, the fries had a nice crisp to them. While the fries were well-seasoned on their own, unfortunately, the truffle flavour was rather muted. However, the grated Grana Padano added a nice nuttiness to the dish that puts it above regular french fries.

Came here because of the Burpple Beyond promotion. The mains were pretty good but what really impressed us was Ah Hua's kelong live green mussels 🦪 stewed in butter white wine sauce. The mussels were really fresh and the sauce very flavourful. However, this dish is a starter and hence, not eligible for 1 for 1.

Vineyard makes a great date spot you can go for a nice stroll at Hort Park after filling up your bellies. 😄

This is one of Vineyard’s signature mains. Pork is very tender despite the size. Sauce (winner of the dish) is on the herby side which I like a lot - could be a bit salty but manageable. It’s served with roasted potato and veggies. Place is secluded and good for quiet dates with a nature view :)
