Went there for new year eve dinner. The service was fantastic. Warm welcome by the staff and arranged at the communal high table (shared with others). It was actually quite okay throughout, as we didn’t feel awkward sitting with strangers and the waitresses serving the food course by course to make sure we have enough space. They don’t have many on the food menu, but every dish we ordered we loved it. Especially the seafood paella was a flavourful savoury dish. The roasted cauliflower was impressive too, we asked for the pesto and cheese flakes to put aside. We were surprised how tasty the pesto sauce when it paired with the cauliflower and pine nuts. The Sangria was good, but it’s not the best I had in Singapore. They have quite interesting cocktail list, I would love to try others next time. Overall it’s enjoyable and I will definitely go back again.

Every starter, main dish and paella was excellent. Blown away by each dish!! The best Spanish food ive tried in Sg thus far.

Desserts are too sweet for my palate.

Will definitely be back to try the others.

Also, the service here is excellent. Friendly and extremely attentive staff!

Great job FOC! Not just thumbs up, all hands up! ✅✅✅

FOC Restaurant on Hong Kong Street exceeded our expectations! The roast suckling pig was melt-in-your-mouth tender with crispy skin, and the seafood Paella was fresh and flavorful. But what really stood out was the exceptional service - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff made our birthday celebration truly special. Highly recommended for a fantastic dining experience! 5 stars

Second visit was also amazing. Was there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The crew was very warm and welcoming to our return. And again the food didn’t disappoint. We went for almost all the tapas which was so excitingly delicious and creative which was delight your senses in many ways! Lastly the happy anniversary dessert was a pleasant surprise! Thank you and well done!

Really nice service and food. We tried almost all their cocktails, pretty surprisingly nice! Very nice starters too, love the Crispy Nigiri and Broken Eggs!

This is a long overdue post since I had actually wrote this way back in Aug 2024...

Almost all the Spanish food I had tried in Singapore is actually Catalan cuisine, and I totally love it. So when I found out about a Spanish restaurant, FOC, that serves up Barcelona dishes instead, of course I want to go and find out if it is good. And yes, it is good!

The sheer variety of tapas available is definitely a strong point since there's something for everyone. As a seafood lover, I'm so happy to see lots of crab and prawn, alongside the beef and pork, in the menu. The taste of the food here is distinctive, unique and delicious, with a touch of lux. I love it that the food comes in small portions (at reasonable price) so that I can enjoy more varieties of food. And there are extra theatrics in presentation of some dishes and drinks.

Dark red glasses, plates, curtains and long lamps contrast so well with the black backdrop to create this cool, flamboyant vibe in a place that resembles a Spanish tavern.

Foie Gras Terrine & Arenkha Caviar in Crispy Phyllo Sandwich redefines how foie gras can be savoured. The unique combination of umami-rich, creamy, smooth foie gras, sweet thin crispy wafer and briny caviar works wonders in both taste and texture. A must-try here.

Grilled Hokkaido Scallops with Cepes Mushroom ‘Pil-Pil’ Sauce & Ibérico Ham Foam bits juxtaposes springy scallop with crunchy Ibérico Ham so excellently. This is full of subtle flavours.

Porcini Mushrooms Croquetas with Black Truffle Sauce is earthy goodness in creamy lava form.

Mediterranean Red Prawn & Snow Crab Giant Ravioli with Celeriac & Coral Essence is briny sweetness filled to the brim. The sauce is full of that simmered sweetness of the sea while within the thin dough skin is a generous filling of red prawn and snow crab that are so good for indulgence.

‘Patatas Bravas’ FOC Style with Aioli & Spicy Brava Sauce amazes me with how unique and delicious it is. Yes, this also defines how Pataras Bravaa, a traditional Spanish potato dish, can be savoured. The potato feels like bread, being toasty, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside while featuring the mild starchy, earthy sweetness of potato. The sauces add creamy excitement to the already delicious potato, making it even better. It feels so satisfying to eat this.

Flaming Rum Baba with Chantilly Ice Cream is a must-try here. In fact, this dessert is worth a special visit to this restaurant. The cake is fluffy, stretchy, just like bread, and has this malty, roasted, slightly savoury, mild sweetness of bread. And it works so beautifully with bitter sweet rum and sweet creamy ice-cream to showcase a myriad of flavours.

The presentation of this dessert is so awesome. Flaming rum poured onto the dessert is such a treat for the eyes too.

Despite all the plus points, I’m not sure if I’m eager to go back since I feel kind of being ignored here. I was led to my seat by the moody-looking front counter staff and given the menu, and then I became "invisible". I waited for quite a while, at least ten minutes, before anyone noticed my existence. I was so close to walking out of the restaurant. And I don't think I was hard to spot since I was the only person sitting at the bar counter. To be fair, after the staff noticed my existence, they were friendly and proactive to attend to my orders and requests. Still the damage was done.

Thoughts: Unique, Delicious with Great Variety

Both the food and service were above expectations.

Food was presented in a nice and fanciful manner that sparked appetite, and staff were attentive and polite, giving pointers to ensure that patrons could enjoy the dishes in the best way possible. During the meal, we were perspiring from the rather still air. It could be due to the table being nearest to the road, that resulted in the strong sun ray coming in. But staff was quick to notice that and adjusted the air conditioned to ensure that we could dine comfortably.

My personal favourite would be the prawn with garlic sauce. It was amazing that the sauce had the aroma of the garlic perfectly infused into it without overcooking the prawns. The sourdough toast soaked up all the goodness of the sauce and it was hard to stop at one.

The seafood paellas was infused with flavours (imagine seafood having a party in your mouth), and it was a good main to go for.

Dessert wise, they tasted great, but I was not exactly wow by them either. The burnt cheesecake seemed to be inconsistent, and I would prefer to have the ingredients better incorporated. The pairing whisky ice cream was the highlight. I enjoyed every bit of it, just wish that they would sell it separately to satisfy my craving for more.

Overall, this is a place to go for if you wish to indulge in good food. Of course, the price tag is something for one to consider.
