Burnished by the sun and washed by azure waters, Sol & Ora evokes the Mediterranean like nothing else. From its perch on the rooftop of The Outpost Hotel on Sentosa, it brings the allure of the ‘Middle Sea’ and its unique coastal culture to its very doorstep.
Sol & Ora rides on the success of Sol & Luna, the ever-popular bistro at downtown CapitaSpring under 1-Group. As part of the group’s latest multi-concept beachfront project known as 1-Altitude Coast, Sol & Ora is located next to 1- Altitude Coast Rooftop Bar & Day Club, within reach of other hotels and lifestyle destinations and three beaches.
Sol & Ora - meaning ‘Sun & Shore’ in Latin – is a restaurant inspired by the Mediterranean way of life. The Mediterranean Sea lies at the crossroad of three continents - Europe, Africa, and Asia - and is bordered by 21 countries. Blessed with a warm sunny climate and 46,000 km of coastline, the sun and the shore naturally play outsized roles in its daily life and activity: the sun sustains life and symbolises positivity, while the shore is a source of livelihood and recreation.
Perhaps nowhere else on earth is the synergy of light and water – this ‘Coastal Way of Life’ – more deeply lived or artistically celebrated. Today it finds ultimate expression at Sol & Ora.
Sol & Ora is an all-day, all-occasion gastronomic destination set on the coast. Like the sun and shore and their eternal ubiquity, Sol & Ora is ‘always close, but never closed'. Any time, any day, sunrise to sunset, this sanctuary by the sea allows you to unwind and embrace the style of living that has come to be emblematic of the Mediterranean ‘good life’.
Food is, of course, central. The Mediterranean region is famously a melting pot of culinary history and tradition unmatched in diversity and richness. Its seas and soils yield a bountiful harvest; most especially of fish and seafood and of all manner of fruit, herb, and vegetable. Sol & Ora pays homage to this with a fresh, produce-driven menu curated from the sea’s northern littoral, namely the ‘Latin-Mediterranean’ countries of Italy, France, Spain and Greece.
The best of each cuisine is showcased through timeless recipes reinvented with a twist and finesse; crafted with variety for different times of day. From Italy comes house-made and hand-crafted pastas and risotto with highlights such as Seafood Fregola and Sardinian Porcetto.
The French offerings are led by light seafood dishes inspired by the French Riviera, as well as the Brioche ‘Parker’ Loaf and Artichoke Brie gratin. Spanish flavours come alive with ‘La Bomba’ and Churros, along with tapas and other creations grilled to perfection on the Josper grill. In the Greek selection, vegetables and herbs take centre stage, most notably with the Vegetable Moussaka and recipes steeped in history such as the classic Imam Bayildi.
At Sol & Ora, the mood is quintessential Mediterranean: friends and family dine in communal style, bonding over good food and drinks as animated conversation fills the air. Essential to this, of course, is wine.
The restaurant’s list of remarkable, expressive and nuanced wines is thoughtfully sourced from Latin-Mediterranean countries, whose venerable histories in wine-making result in what is considered the world’s largest grape harvest. While old-world wines dominate, the selection also includes labels produced with minimal intervention and recognised as organic, biodynamic or experimental following the natural wine movement.
Meanwhile, Sol & Ora’s cocktails evoke the sunny perfumed shores of the Mediterranean in light, thirst-quenching blends of quality spirits, fresh herbs, fruits, spices and house-infused syrups. Taking their cue from key ingredients grown along the Latin-Mediterranean coasts, they encapsulate the distinctive drinking culture of each country.
A must-try is Brise Côtière showcasing the typically French ingredients of Grey Goose vodka, Pampelle liqueur, and Lillet Rose. Amalfi Afterglow incorporates the famously Italian components of Pigskin gin, limoncello and Prosecco. Appreciate the Greek flavours of Old Sport gin, Greek 5-herb tea syrup, and rose syrup in Summer Solstice; while the brandy, blood orange, and house-infused carbonated white wine sangria mix in A Night in Ibiza are inspirations from Spain.
Whether it is breakfast, brunch, high tea, lunch, dinner or drinks – time at Sol & Ora inches forward at a slower pace. The soothing colours, the natural materials, the space with its broad open perspectives and gently arching ceiling, the surrounding greenery and blue water, melt the cares away and conjure a sense of siesta.
As one basks in the moment, a distinct sensibility seeps in. The Mediterranean has given much to the mind, body and soul. And as an idyll offering rest and respite, or a table around which to socialise and bond, or a window on the Coastal Way of Life, that same spirit continues to burn bright at Sol & Ora.
The restaurant offers, Daily breakfast, Weekend a la carte brunch with top-up of Bottomless Brunch beverage option for two hours free-flow alcoholic beverages at $98++ per person, High tea on a two-tiered marble stand at $28++ per person, minimum two persons (Thursday to Sunday), Lunch (Thursday & Friday) and Dinner or drinks (Tuesday to Sunday)
