Guide to Delicious & Affordable French Food at Vineyard at Hortpark
Looking for an affordable French restaurant in Singapore? Vineyard at HortPark serves French cuisine inside HortCentre, the visitor building at HortPark. The weekday set lunch starts at $35++ for two courses. Here's what's on the menu, what it costs, and how to get there.
Where Is an Affordable French Restaurant Located in Singapore?
Vineyard at HortPark sits inside HortPark, a 10.7-hectare gardening park managed by the National Parks Board in Queenstown. The restaurant's address is 33 Hyderabad Road, #02-02, HortPark, Singapore 119578. The park is free to enter and open from 6am to 11pm daily.
What Kind of Food Does Vineyard at HortPark Serve?
The menu is French-Italian. It combines French bistro staples — duck confit, duck rillette, escargot — with Italian references. A notable detail: several dishes use named local suppliers rather than generic "fresh seafood" language. The mussels and barramundi come from Ah Hua Kelong, a Singapore fish farm, and the frog legs are sourced from Jurong Frog Farm. That's a level of sourcing transparency not every mid-range restaurant discloses.
How Much Does the Weekday Set Lunch Cost?
The set lunch runs Monday to Friday. A 2-course meal is $35++ and a 3-course meal is $45++.
What's on the À La Carte Menu?
Beyond the set lunch, Vineyard runs a full à la carte menu. A few highlights:
Starters
Ah Hua Kelong Mussels Marinière — white wine butter sauce, herbed mascarpone, French baguette. $27
Locally Farmed "Whole Snail" Escargot — seaweed garlic butter, ciabatta bread. $27
Country-Style French Duck Rillette — with French baguette. $15
Mains
French Duck Leg Confit — duck fat potato sarladaise, spring vegetables, l'orange sauce. $32
King Salmon & Sorrel — potato mousseline, Kin Yan mushrooms, vermouth sorrel cream sauce. $39
King Oyster Mushroom Steak — potato mousseline, spring vegetables, black pepper sauce. Vegetarian. $28
Sharing Mains (25–30 minute preparation time)
Whole Roasted GG French Poulet (An Xin chicken) — served with mustard brown sauce. $68
Ah Hua Kelong Barramundi en Papillote — served with sauce vierge. $58
Sides
Truffle Mashed Potato — with sautéed mushroom and Parmigiano. $15
French Garlic Bread — ciabatta bread. $6
The à la carte menu runs higher than the set lunch. If budget is the priority, the weekday set lunch is the better entry point; the à la carte and sharing mains suit a bigger group meal or a weekend visit.
What Are the Dining Spaces at Vineyard at HortPark?
There are three seating areas: the Indoor Dining Hall, the air-conditioned Verandah, and the outdoor Patio. All three are inside or adjacent to HortCentre, HortPark's main visitor building.
How Do You Get There?
Vineyard at HortPark is inside HortPark, which has a carpark (149 car lots, 11 motorcycle lots, 5 bus lots, 2 accessible lots; parking fees apply) and is near Commonwealth MRT station. Table bookings go through the restaurant's concierge line: +65 8303 1863. The general park line is +65 3125 1860.
If you've been holding off on French dining because of the price tag, Vineyard at HortPark is worth putting on your list. It's an easy add to a weekend park visit or a weekday work lunch, and the garden setting makes it feel less like a quick bite and more like a proper break. Book ahead, especially for weekday lunch, and come hungry.
