Raffles Courtyard

Had a lovely happy hour at Raffles Courtyard on Thursday. Staffs are all friendly and welcoming. Kudos to VINOD for his super attentive service. He is the mixologist there and he made me the best dirty martini 🍸 Will definitely go back for more good cocktails.

Loved discovering this place the line for the Long Bar was very long. Drinks were delicious, albeit pricey. We enjoyed the 1915 Gin Sling and Lapa Fizz very much!

Lovely atmosphere, great service and good food at a fair price. The chicken rice was a standout for us.

First time at Raffles Courtyard and it did not disappoint! Our family had a wonderful experience—it’s such a posh and relaxing place. The staff were all very attentive and warm, especially the manager who made sure we were well taken care of. We reserved a table specifically to try the Regional Hawker Showcase featuring Bacolod’s famous Kansi (beef soup). My daughter also ordered the Beef Rendang, and it was very delicious—super flavorful and tender! As for the Kansi, we were excited to try it, especially since my wife is from Bacolod. While the presentation and beef portion were excellent, the flavor was quite different from the traditional version we know. The Raffles version tasted “cleaner,” almost like Nilaga or a Manila-style beef soup, rather than the strong, sour, deeply savory flavor typical of Bacolod’s Kansi. My wife gave it a 6/10 for authenticity—but I’d give it a 9/10 because of the generous beef cuts and tasty broth! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. Great food, elegant atmosphere, and excellent service. I’d definitely recommend Raffles Courtyard for families looking for a classy but chill dining spot! 😃
