What Our Guests Are Saying
Posted on SorravithVerified Great restaurant and staff All restaurant staff are very helpful and service-minded. Especially, Vera and Eam who have been helping me out a lot. The good is very great and tasteful both breakfast and Italian food at night. Very enjoying dine in this restaurant.Posted on Stella CVerified Amazing experience Amazing place to chill with family and friends, nice food and excellent services, especially Li Chin being very attentive and the tiramisu by Chef Grey is unbeatable :)Posted on Carol YVerified Team luncheon @ Publico We are a group of 16 and was warmly welcomed by Li Chin. She showed us our tables and gave us the right amount of time to check out the menu before she took our orders. Li Chin is friendly and she also helped us through all our menu queries. Really appreciate Li Chin and team Publico for taking such good care of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch - Pasta, Pizza, Sandwiches and sides were all yummy. We will be back! Thank youPosted on Quest53416817386Verified Review Love it, the staff were really friendly, especially Vera the team lead who made sure our plates were constantly cleared and made nice coffee for us!Posted on N PVerified Excellent ambience, very helpful and kind staff, great location Pros Plenty of options to choose from, fast service, attentive staff. Cons Mislabeled soy milk - contains dairy! The staff proactively suggested contacting the reception to save me time and help them better prepare for special dietary needs. I will be recommending this conveniently located hotel to everyone!Posted on Eman and KrisVerified Great food selection but even better level of service from the staff We enjoyed buffet breakfast at Publico for 7 days as part of our stay at the Intercontinental Robertson Quay Hotel with our 3 year old and 6 month old. There was great food selection (rotated daily, with a nice mix of Asian and Western food). The honeycomb was nice and egg station well presented. But the standout for us was the excellent level of service we received from Hisham, Sohee, Phyllis and Vera. They welcomed our family every morning and were friendly and attentive. They made every visit a positive and happy experience. One point of improvement is to provide complimentary sparkling water - the venue can install a carbonated water tap to provide guests instead of having to purchase bottles. Highly recommend the breakfast and level of customer service.Posted on SRBassettVerified Fantastic food and great service Publico is a restaurant housed in the InterContinental Hotel at Robertson’s Quay. It is a restaurant I have come to know well over a number of visits to Singapore. The food is quite simply amazing. Always. The pizzas have thick bases from allowing the dough to rise overnight. The truffle risotto is exactly right and full of flavour. There are no shortcuts in this kitchen. The Osso Bucco falls apart, having been coked slowly over 24 hours. The front of house staff are truly impressive too. They all give a warm welcome to guests and are cheerful and friendly, even early in the morning. The staff go out of their way to assist the elderly and people with disabilities. Vera, a member of the morning staff, was particularly helpful in that regard. It is truly a pleasure to dine at Publico.Posted on clauschrVerified Breakfast here is amazing Easy-going but sophisticated place. The breakfast buffet is very extensive and of the highest quality. Vera and her team took great care of me. I’ve been to this place a few times in the evening as well and it always was a great experience.Posted on Teri OngVerified A comfortable breakfast place with great service Great service! I like that the staff are all friendly and helpful. Food selection is good enough for a healthy meal to start the day! Good job to Vera and her team!
