The grand staircase, with stunning, panoramic floor-to-ceiling views of Singapore and the neighbouring countries of Malaysia and Indonesia, provides a dramatic entrance, befitting Equinox’s status as a place to see and be seen. The impressive scale of this three-storey, 165-seat amphitheatre-style restaurant is set off by simple and bold design elements that complement rather than overwhelm the setting. The architectural style and exotic essence of Asia is reflected through four three-storey tall teak and rice paper lanterns, suspended Ming-inspired wooden trellises and a luminous, floor-to-ceiling wall of mother-of-pearl. Equinox Restaurant features a unique food concept, offering guests a choice of pure Western or pure Asian cuisine. Multiple menu choices provide patrons with the opportunity to enjoy varied and multi-dimensional culinary experiences, making even the most informal of occasions truly special.
