Sol & Luna
Sol & Luna was one of those restaurants where the space made an impression even before the food arrived. Sitting high up at CapitaSpring, the dining room feels airy and relaxed, and I particularly liked the high ceiling. It gives the restaurant a sense of openness that works very well with all the greenery surrounding it.
We started with the Gambas Al Ajillo and Burratina. Both were familiar, straightforward dishes and nicely put together. The prawns were plump and flavourful, while the Burratina made for an easy sharing starter with its creamy centre and fresh accompaniments.
For mains, we had the Grilled Iberico Pork Pluma and Lamb Rack. Both were competently executed, properly cooked and satisfying without trying to be overly complicated. The pork had a good balance of richness and char, while the lamb was nicely grilled and remained tender. This was very much the theme of the meal for me. The kitchen knows what it is doing, and the food was consistently decent across the evening.
Service followed the same tone. Pleasant, efficient and comfortable. Nothing overly formal, which suited the restaurant well.
We ended with Churros con Chocolate, because there are few better ways to finish a Latin European meal than hot churros dipped into chocolate. Simple pleasures are often the best ones.
The dinner actually had one more highlight after we left the restaurant. We headed up to the rooftop of CapitaSpring, and that was where the evening really delivered its final surprise. The panoramic city view was spectacular, especially with Singapore lit up below us.
Sol & Luna does not try too hard to reinvent the wheel, but it offers a pleasant combination of competent food, comfortable service and one of the more impressive settings in the CBD. And when dinner comes with a city view like that afterwards, it certainly helps end the night on a high.
