Had a wonderful Friday lunch at The Marmalade Pantry (ION Orchard) and was pleasantly surprised that we got a table almost immediately despite the lunchtime crowd.

We started with the Sweet Potato Fries, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, paired with a deliciously addictive sriracha mayonnaise. The Chilli Calamari was another standout; light, fresh, and well-seasoned, with the pickled chilli dressing, green pimento olives and chives adding a great balance of heat and tang.

For mains, we tried their ION Orchard exclusives and they did not disappoint. The Smoked Duck & Coconut Curry Linguine was rich yet fragrant, with tender slices of smoked duck complemented beautifully by the spiced coconut curry, herbs, mustard greens and a squeeze of lime. The Barramundi Assam Risotto was equally impressive; the fish was cooked perfectly, sitting atop a bold and flavourful tamarind risotto, elevated by okra and crispy curry leaves.

We couldn’t leave without dessert, and the TMP Sticky Date Pudding was the perfect ending to the meal. Warm, comforting, and indulgent, with rich toffee sauce, oat crumble, mixed berries and vanilla ice cream, truly a classic done right.

What really elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The team was warm, attentive, and welcoming, making our lunch feel relaxed and special, especially during this festive period. Overall, a delightful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back for the high tea!

We had a lovely experience here. Dinesh was cordial, friendly, and gave us excellent service throughout. We enjoyed the salmon risotto and the duck & coconut linguine, and we found both dishes were rich in flavour and beautifully done. The truffle chips and fried calamari were perfect sides. For drinks, we had the apple & lychee juice and the passion fruit & mango juice, both refreshing and delicious. Overall, a wonderful meal paired with attentive service. Highly recommend!

Great place for a casual lunch. Food selection is great, enjoyed the cod that was well cooked and flavored. Also tried their signature crab pasta, filled with strong flavors to satisfy. The side of Brussels sprouts was also delightful. Highly recommend the selection of kombucha as they were delicious!
