Timbre ( pronounced as Timber) is a chill out bistro which promotes local music.
Timbre @ The Arts House is a great place for after work relaxation, as it boost a picturesque view of Boat Quay, and soothing sounds from the resident bands, not forgetting the scrumptious thin crust pizzas and delightful drinks.
Where: Timbre @ The Arts House - 1 Old Parliment Lane, #01-04, Singapore 179429
Food: Their signature would have to be their thin crust pizzas, topped with generous amounts of cheese and the various ingredients, depending on the type of pizza you order.
My favourites would have to be the Pharma Ham and Rosemary, and the Classic Italian Pizza. (The pizzas are about 12 inches, and priced at $17). The saltiness of the toppings, marries well with the thin, crispy crust.
The tapas, are not too bad, I like the Buffalo wings, spicy enough, but not to the extent your lips will start swelling from the heat. The seafood platter contains calamari, prawns, mussels and potato wedges, the one complaint I have about this dish, is that calamari is like rubber, chewy and a little stale.
Drinks: Timbre has a wide array of beverages. My favourite would have to be Sakura ( Vodka, Lychee Liqueur, Lychee Juice and Ribena). Tastes like Lychee martini, except sweeter due to the ribena. It is a ladies drink.
I do have one big problem. They only serve one round of ice water, and it has to be ordered before 10pm. If anyone wants a glass of water more than once, or after 10pm, it is self service at the bar. Besides this, Timbre is a great place to relax and unwind.
