Keeping up with the Joneses
To mark their eighth year in Singapore and a recent transfer of full ownership to the Louis-Vuitton Moet Hennessy group, Australian bistro-deli Jones The Grocer’s flagship Dempsey outlet has undergone a makeover.
New in Jones: an expanded retail section with a tighter focus on small-batch food products from around the world such as Makaibari teas from India, African condiments from Bim’s Kitchen, and artisanal chocolates from the U.K.’s Prestat; and a brand new butcher section offering premium meat cuts, hormone-free poultry and housemade charcuterie (in partnership with Swiss Butchery). Don’t miss also their cheese room – the first of its kind in Singapore when it debuted in 2007 – now reorganised as a one-stop shop stocking confitures, cheese boards and all the trimmings. The dine-in menu has been refreshed with wholesome dishes such as a ginger-tinged Asian Black Cod ($26) and Salted Caramel Sticky Date Pudding ($15). 9 Dempsey Road. Tel: 6476 1512
