With a contemporary bright and cosy design, Wine Connection has turned its old “Deli” into a splendid new Cheese Bar.

Available for both take-away and dine-in, a selection of over 40 matured farm cheeses is air-flown from Europe twice a month. You will find classics, such as Brie de Meaux, Saint Nectaire, Roquefort or Comte, from France, but also Parmiggiano Reggiano and Gorgonzola from Italy or Manchego from Spain, as well as some regional specialties: Swiss Tete de Moine, French Epoisses, or Sicilian Pecorino with black pepper.

Their a la Carte platters offer the option to create your own platter, selecting 3 to 7 items from their chef’s weekly selection, served with a crusty bread basket and assorted condiments.

If you are craving for more than “just” cheese, you won’t be disappointed with their giant salads and home-made tartines. The Camembert & Sautéed apples salad will pair perfectly with a glass of fresh Riesling, or the Flamiche tartine: Leek, Reblochon and Parma ham on a toasted slice of wholemeal bread.

Have a try at their traditional French Raclette with a modern twist. Melting cheese over potatoes & cold cuts, served with a side salad and traditional condiments.

They serve over 250 wines exclusively imported directly from vineyards around the world, a nice selection of over 20 wines by the glass and 8 beers from Belgium and Germany.

Set literally next door to wild rocket at Mount Emily, Wild Oats is housed in a charming colonial mansion amidst a sprawling garden.

For those who prefer cool air-conditioned comfort, the indoor area has classic black leather armchairs and designer bar stools. Outdoors, the chenai wooden deck with nostalgic rattan chairs is the perfect place to sip champagne and indulge in star gazing amidst the lush tropical greenery.

Being in the Bras Basah-Bugis district which is set to be the arts, culture, and entertainment hub in the city center, Wild Oats shares the premises with Emily Hill – a multi-talented and multi disciplinary group of creative people including an art gallery (MonsoonAsia Gallery), a glass artist (Ms. Tan Sock Fong), a theatre school (Theatre Training & Research Program) and renowned sculptor Mr. Sun Yu-li.

Although wild oats has a wide selection of drinks – easy drinking wine from both old and new world, local and international beers (including Hoegarden and Stella Artois) and classic/original cocktails, the most popular drinks are the Lambrini (a slightly sparkling perry from the UK), Emily Royale (wild oats' original champagne cocktail made with strawberry puree & crème de casis) and G.H. Mumm Champagne.

A small but delectable selection of finger food is also available. A Greek favorite, the feta and spinach pie is given a local twist and made into Feta Tofu & Spinach Wantons at wild oats. There are also the very popular Parmesan Wings, only the mid-section is used (because that's the best part!), deep fried to a golden crust and drizzled with your choice of homemade chicken-rice style super spicy chili sauce or a creamy gorgonzola sauce. If you want something more substantial, try one of the Hot Bitches (more politely known as Hot Dogs elsewhere), each one with different toppings including chili con carne & sautéed onions.
