Equinox Restaurant enters Singapore Tatler Best Restaurant Guide 2009 Hall of Fame

Dec. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- SINGAPORE - The undisputed venue of champagne wishes and caviar dreams, Equinox Restaurant at Swissôtel The Stamford took its rightful place amongst the finest and the very best, and literally towering above all as it enters the illustrious Singapore Tatler Best Restaurants Guide 2009 - Hall of Fame award.

In a glittering awards gala attended by a galaxy of the Lion City’s dynamic and most talented disciples and institutions, and in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary of the iconic restaurant guide, Equinox’s star sparkled like a diamond as it officially receives one of the industries most coveted accolades. Renowned as one of the city’s top destinations for unparalleled gourmet experiences frequented by local and international connoisseurs, aficionados and the ‘epi-curious’, Equinox Restaurant has more than lived up to the hype and expectations of those who had walked through its hallowed ground.

Mr Aiden McAuley, General Manager of Swissôtel The Stamford and Regional Vice-President, Asia Pacific, Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts reacted in pure delight, "This fantastic accolade is a remarkable seal and achievement for Equinox Restaurant. It is a validation of Swissôtel The Stamford's consistency and commitment in providing the most luxurious epicurean experiences to our guests. We look forward to more successful years ahead and we will take this eminent recognition as an inspiration more than a privilege.”
 
The fascinating culinary journey of Equinox is a shimmering example of seamless commitment and affinity amongst an outstanding and cohesive team of service staff, led by its manager, Bernd Rudigier. With an impeccable attention to detail and a gracious attitude towards providing excellent service, delivered with passion and perfection, the entire team has elevated the restaurant to what it is today. Under the artistic and meticulous leadership of Chef de Cuisine Hugh Styles, Equinox Restaurant brings discerning diners’ palates a step closer to heaven. Having worked in Michelin-starred establishments in Germany, Chef Styles and his team of talented chefs continually delight diners with masterful creations and tempting delights.

Equinox Restaurant officially opened its doors in November 2001 as part of the swanky and chic Equinox Complex, which boasts five contemporary restaurants and bars as well as intimate private dining rooms. The restaurant emphasises simple, yet bold design elements; four three-storey high teak and rice paper lanterns, suspended Ming-inspired wooden trellises and a luminous floor-to ceiling wall of mother of pearl make simply stunning statements.

The cuisine served at Equinox Restaurant further heightens (no pun intended) the experience as guests may enjoy authentic Western and Asian cuisine from two supporting kitchens. The menu has been designed to offer an abundance of choice so patrons are treated to a varied and multi-dimensional culinary experience.

Adding to the restaurant’s uniqueness is its unmatched location; Equinox Restaurant is located on Level 70 of Swissôtel The Stamford, providing panoramic views of Singapore’s picturesque skyline as well as surrounding Malaysia and Indonesia.
