Revolution Wine Bistro

Singapore’s OG natural wine bar RVLT is making a glorious comeback with a new wine bistro in the heart of Bukit Merah. The restaurant has swapped out the grungy aesthetics of its old Carpenter Street digs for a more minimalistic and classy look. Its new location is housed within the Danish design studio Fritz Hansen, so that explains it. Despite the makeover, the borderless and boundary-pushing food and spirit of RVLT live on. Yes, cult-faves have not been taken off the menu – thank God. You can still get your fix of the brand’s iconic homemade chicken nuggets ($20) with fermented tomato sriracha, and its wagyu beef patty melt with fries ($28). Other than that, it’s pasta with a local twist that takes centre stage. Think salted egg carbonara ($19.80), hua diao white clams linguine ($19.80) and the like. And if you miss the vino, shimmy up to the bar counter for spot-on recommendations by co-founders and wine geeks Alvin Gho and Ian Lim.
