Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
If there’s one song most of us would be able to identify from the first sentence alone, it would be this iconic piece from The Little Mermaid — especially since this is one of those fairytale stories we grew up with.
Because of that show, I’ve always wanted to see a mermaid IRL. If you can relate, The Mermaid at ORTO West Coast is the place to go if you want to dine and watch mermaid shows at the same time!
From the moment you step into the restaurant, you’re bound to feel like you’ve just entered the underwater world — think blue tones, coral lights, and more.
While The Mermaid offers ocean-themed items like Grilled Whole Squid (S$18), Seafood Stew (S$42), and more, their menu largely focuses on alcoholic beverages.
We’d recommend starting your experience with dishes like their Burrata Salad (S$22), which came with roasted watermelon, cherry tomatoes, and brown butter vinaigrette. My dining partner and I particularly enjoyed the “Fish & Chips” (S$16), which isn’t your average deep fried fish — rather, it features snapper rillette atop crispy potato pave.
Drinks-wise, you’ll find yourself utterly spoilt for choice. Whether you’re looking for cocktails, wines, beers, or other spirits, there’s defo something for you. Fellow girlies, they’re even giving away one free tiger soju tower (U.P. S$58) for every group of four ladies on Wednesdays.
Now, for the main draw — the mermaid performances. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this was one of the most magical moments of the night!
For about ten minutes, get ready to be spellbound as the mermaids swim together in perfect harmony, blow kisses, and strike the cutest poses. Be sure to come for dinner (or for post-dinner drinks) to catch them in action, since they only perform at night.
Pro tip: Call in to reserve a table near the stage so that you get the best view of the mermaid performances!
