Ida’s at Gillman Barracks offers a unique lifestyle experience, blending the creativity of contemporary art with elegant culinary and mixology delights. Nestled within the lush greenery of this iconic Singaporean arts cluster, Ida’s is a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation, celebration, and gastronomic indulgence. With its versatile functions—an alfresco bar, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, and a private event space—Ida's brings together the best of outdoor dining, artisanal cocktails, and personalized events in a charming, nature-infused setting.
By day, Ida's courtyard offers a tranquil setting for guests to enjoy coffee or light fare. As the light goes down, this outdoor space transforms into the vivacious Ida's Bar, where Head Barman Nikki Lacsamana, known for his work at the famed Manhattan Bar, leads a team that creates an amazing cocktail menu in partnership with Cat Bite Crew.
Botanical-infused cocktails, such as Café Nanas and Minted Passion, add a refreshing touch to classic summer drinks. Complex no-alcohol cocktails provide a full flavour experience for individuals who do not drink alcohol, while artisan beers and wines are also available for drinking in the gorgeous surroundings.
The restaurant, led by Head Chef Aiman Hanafi, complements Ida's Bar by offering a broad menu of small plates, hearty mains and sumptuous desserts with a Mediterranean twist. Signature appetisers like Green Gazpacho and Lamb Croquettes provide fresh and robust flavours, while main courses like slow-cooked Octopus with smoky chorizo or Iberico Pork with pickled pear and walnut tantalise the taste. The dessert menu is equally decadent, with delicacies such as the Semifreddo Doughnut and Almond Choux Puff providing a lovely end to the dinner.
Ida's also provides an excellent setting for private occasions. Its versatile arrangement may handle big events of up to 160 seated or 300 standing visitors. The exquisite interior boasts handcrafted Balinese furniture, and the outside patio may be included into the event arrangement, creating a picturesque background for memorable events.
Ida's appeal is enhanced by its in-house floral studio, which is directed by famous florist Charlotte Puxley. Puxley, known for her bespoke floral artistry, provides both public and private flower classes, allowing guests to express their creativity while immersed in the venue's natural splendour.
From intimate evenings at the bar to large-scale events, Ida’s offers a blend of nature, art, and culinary expertise that creates an unforgettable destination for all. With a 15% opening discount available for visits to Ida’s Bar until mid-September 2024, guests are invited to experience this new, dynamic gathering spot firsthand.
