Palais Renaissance food guide
While many of us may be familiar with Orchard malls such as Takashimaya, ION, or Paragon, Palais Renaissance is home to many aesthetic restaurants, fancy boutiques and more. If you’re looking for a less crowded spot in town, we’ve put together a list of 10 Palais Renaissance food places to visit at this swanky mall.
1. Siam Smith

If you’re in the mood for Thai food, Siam Smith is a must-visit restaurant at Palais Renaissance. Their Signature Beef Noodles ($18.50), are a customer favourite and come with slices of beef, meatballs, and tripe in a savoury beef broth. Notably, the broth was derived from a generational family recipe, which is simmered for hours in a blend of spices and herbs which gives it a full-bodied, robust flavour.
In addition to beef noodles, Siam Smith is also known for their Seafood Creamy Tom Yum Noodles ($18.50). This dish features red prawns, red garoupa, and squid in a fiery and creamy broth. Alternatively, you can opt for Thai Hainanese Chicken Tom Yum Noodles ($14.50) instead.
