Hidden in the depth of the Golf Course at Bukit Timah, Picotin is not the most accessible place in Singapore. Last weekend, we decided to have our dinner there. And boy, the road in was dark. And by dark, I mean the streets lamp were all turned off. So, please drive if you are going in the evening.
Being located in such an isolated area of the island, I was surprised to see a full-house of guests. (Pss, it was a rainy that day too). And I think I know why. Under the moonlight, Picotin looked gorgeous. From the bistro, you could have a glimpse of the golf course. I would think this place would have looked absolutely amazing during the day.
Apart from the breathe-taking view, the food was absolutely yummy. The variety was huge and the portion was humongous. It was worth every penny. Please come here in a big group if you want to try everything.
Clockwise from the top in collage below:
Overall, I have to say the quality of the food is definitely above average, although there are some dishes that are more worth coming for. For drinkers, you will be tickled to know that the variety here is amazing. Beers, wines, cocktails, mocktails, the selection won't disappoint you. It is really a good place for friends to gather.
For the non-drinkers, I would suggest the mocktail. We had Pico Berry that day. And I love it so, so much. I know it does sounds a little over the top. But if Picotin ever open a store selling Pico Berry, I might just buy a cup for lunch every day. A jug just cost S$20 and it is good to share between 5 pax.
And if you plan on being a regular, here's a deal for you. Sign up for the Taste & Thirst membership for SGD50, and you will get to enjoy 10% off the food items on the a la carte menu, SGD10 off any wine and a bucket of beer at SGD40! You can also get the Golden Passport at SGD100 instead and enjoy 25% off a la carte food items and an additional special wine of the month at S$50 and happy hour all day long on top of the benefits of Taste & Thirst.
Fret not, if you live in the East, Picotin also has an outlet in the East.

- Buffalo Wings (S$12): The sauce was really yummy, but deathly spicy. However, it doesn't burn your tongue. It is a good sharing dish.
- Vongole (S$25): This might be an acquired taste because no one else in the family but me loves this. I find this dish really fragrant and love how smooth the white wine sauce made the spaghetti. It is one of the best I have tasted. You must try this if you love your clams.
- Pico Burger (S$26): This is a very satisfying burger although it is just a simple, classic beef burger. The sinful fries and healthy rockets on the side brings a nice balance to the dish.
- Bronco (S$28): The priciest pizza on the menu but it is one good pizza. I can understand why it is a hot favourite among the diners. The crust is of good thickness. The texture is a good mix of doughiness and crisp. You must order one of their pizzas. It is made fresh of the oven and it taste absolutely divine!
- Red Snapper (S$32): This is not the usual dish you find on the menu. I am not one person into fresh fish (more of a fish and chips girl) but my father love this and devoured the whole snapper with intermittent praises on how fresh it was. But I have to admit, the serving of rocket salad was really quite generous. Yum!
