Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Duxton Hill district, the newly opened Bottega di Carna has taken Singapore's culinary scene by storm. With its stunning lux art deco setting in the newly opened boutique Mondrian Hotel, this restaurant is a true feast for the senses. But it's not just the ambiance that sets Bottega di Carna apart; it's the mastermind behind it all, the world's best butcher himself, Dario Cecchini.

Dario Cecchini is a true character, known for his flamboyant outfits and his circus ringmaster-style mustache. With a rich family heritage in the art of butchery, Dario has honed his craft to perfection, earning him the prestigious title of the world's best butcher.

Now, let's talk about the food. Bottega di Carna's menu is a delightful journey through the flavors of Italy, with a focus on Dario's specialty: meat. But before we dive into the carnivorous delights, let's explore some of the other highlights. The artichoke tart is a delightful starter, combining the earthiness of artichokes with a buttery, flaky crust. The classic Puglia burrata, served with multi-colored cherry tomatoes bursting with flavor, is a refreshing and creamy delight.

Onto the mains and one simply cannot visit the best butcher in the world without indulging in his masterpieces. At Bottega di Carna, you'll find dry-aged cabinets showcasing an array of perfectly marbled cuts. We couldn't resist the temptation and opted for the filet mignon, my personal favourite. Cooked to perfection, it melted in our mouths, leaving a symphony of flavors dancing on our palates. Accompanied by an impressively sized gratinéed tomato and Tuscan beans, it was a hearty and satisfying lunch that left us craving for more.
