Kuvo is a multi-concept restaurant that consists of an all day restaurant, cocktail bar, wine bar and attractive gift shop. It is owned by Sarika Connoisseur Cafe, the company behind The Connoisseur Concerto, also known as TCC. They have taken over the space vacated by the previous popular chinese restaurant Lei Garden in Orchard Shopping Centre. Now the entire 2nd floor is occupied by Kuvo! So can you imagine how big is this place? Let me introduce this place to you below!

Entree: Portobello Mushroom Veloute
With sauteed portobello, prosciutto crisps, accented with truffle oil. The crispy prosciutto (ham) was a great touch. The texture of the mushroom veloute was thick and perfect, not to mention it was served piping hot. (The way most people would like their soup to be) The hints of truffle oil definitely brought out the best of all flavours. One of the BEST mushroom soup I've had!
Main Course: Baked Seabass with Herbs
Baked seabass sat on a bed of barley risotto, tomato nicoise, kaffir lime beurre blanc. The barley risotto was creamy while the meat of the sea bass was slightly tough. The tangy tomato nicoise, together with the creamy kaffir lime beurre blanc gave nice highlights to this dish.
Dessert: Chocolate Banana Cream Puff with Fresh Bananas
With hazelnut feuilletine, chocolate chips, vanilla cream, milk chocolate glaze, vanilla gelato. Presentation wise, we were pleasantly surprised by the huge cream puff! But sadly to say that the puff pastry was overpowering. The exterior puff was very dry and heavy, instead of being fluffy or moist. Thus, it made the whole dessert feel dry and "matte". What we did like was the premium vanilla gelato, how I wish to have a bigger scoop...
Gift Shop
The Gift Shop is a retail store that sells souvenirs, housemade cheesecakes, cookies, chocolates, coffee and tea blends.
This is the venue for afternoon tea buffet! As the afternoon tea starts at 2pm and I gotta leave before that, so will come back again to update you guys the afternoon tea items. Heard that the afternoon tea here consists of a 3-tier stand with a choice of Coffee Or Tea + some sweet and savoury nibbles in buffet style. Sounds good!!
Latte ($8++)
Wow a very nice presentation for serving coffee! But the price was a little too ex..
Cappucino ($8++)
Have a peep at some of their menu below!

Overall Impression: Service was very polite and good here! And the staff will go to every table to ask for the feedback of the food. Food quality was between average to slightly above average. I like the presentation of the food and beverage served at Kuvo, made you feel that you're dining at a 5-star hotel! The aircon was quite cold here, do bring a jacket along.
Kuvo is a very relaxing place with cosy ambience that has everything all-in-1 place. (All day Breakfast, Western and Asian Cuisine, Dessert, Afternoon Tea with Buffet, Cocktail and Wine Bar to chill out with small plates) Enjoy till late at orchard area near Somerset mrt! Price was a little on the high side but I guess paying a bit more to indulge ourselves sometimes is worth it right?
