The Butcher's Wife

If you have not been to The Butcher’s Wife, it is a natural wine bar and kitchen dishing out Brazilian inspired food. It was my first time dining at The Butcher’s Wife and the food truly impressed me much, despite it being gluten-free. We started the evening with The Wife’s Croquettas ($14), a vegan-friendly snack made with soy milk, young jackfruit and served with a fermented cashew chilli sauce that you will want to lick it off the plate.

It was followed by the Chargrilled Cabbage ($18) that has been basted with brown butter on the grill and paired with a pine nut salsa and red dragon fruit BBQ sauce; absolutely delish and something that I can eat all day long. The Portobello ($20) is confit and complemented with pickled shimeji mushrooms for a variety of textures and flavours are accentuated with creamy ricotta, sweet tomato puree and a fresh herbaceous chermoula sauce. The last of the starters is the Acarajé ($25), a favourite in the restaurant and popular street food snack. The version here is made with crispy black eyed peas buns and sandwiched with a green mango herb salsa and juicy grilled prawn.

The Lamb Picanha ($38) is beautifully cooked and presented, with zero gaminess and texture almost like a wagyu due to the well marbled meat. It is accompanied with a creamy pistachio yogurt, fresh orange salsa and coriander. For desserts, we sampled the Caramel Lava Cake ($18) that has a savouriness in the soy-sauce caramel to balance the bittersweet chocolate molten and paired with vanilla bean ice cream. There are also the Fresh to Death ($16), nothing menacing but a playful dessert of almond financier served with a tropical fruit and tonka bean compote, passionfruit, crisp tulie and a fennel ice cream, and Romeo & Julieta ($16) of a match made in heaven consisting of baked cheese cake topped with a fruity pink guava coulis and finished with crunchy milk crumble.

We ordered
(1) Dadinhos ($11)- the spicy gula melaka dip taste surprisingly good! This dish is both savory and sweet would recommend!
(2) steak ($48)- not bad but slightly salty
Service was good! Overall will recommend this place!

Call me a sucker for food fads but this vegan friendly, gluten free friendly was top on my wish list. Of course the knowledge that the bulk of the menu was on their natural wine listing was not the officially reason I had to be here 😉 (or was it)

Fast forward and I find myself here on a Thursday night having a flight of natural wines (a rose and 2 whites), accompanying the chef’s gluten free menu. A first proper taste of Pão de Queijo and I’m sold, there’s nothing not to love of these baked cheese pocket buns, and the sauces here are almost always delicious.

For the mains we had the Marinated Chicken Thigh Dosa with fermented chayote, cashew cultured cream; and Fermented Black Bean Falafel with carrot & lentil hummus, smoked baba ganoush. I adored how there were hints of Asian touches to the modern European- Brazilian dishes, for example chayote and what tasted like chicken rice chilli (!!) with the dosa. When you see the Brazilian born, paris trained chef dish out her food creations, to cater for a usually western audience that avoids gluten for health reasons (coeliac is the term I was told); and this in Singapore you know this ain’t any other restaurant.
