About The Blue Elephant
Tucked near Orchard's shopping stretch, The Blue Elephant presents Royal Thai cooking with a modern Singaporean sensibility — think lacquered curries, delicate fish salads and theatrical desserts served in an intimate, air-conditioned dining room. The fit-out is chic and warm, suited to special-occasion dinners, business meals and date nights where presentation matters as much as flavour.
The weekday crowd leans towards the CBD lunch crowd and hotel guests seeking a polished Thai meal, while evenings attract couples and families celebrating birthdays. Locals appreciate it as an alternative to hawker-style Thai classics — you still get bold Thai flavours, but plated for sharing and paired with a concise cocktail and wine list. It’s a good stop for a refined weekend lunch, a celebratory dinner after shopping on Orchard Road, or a quieter tasting menu for visitors who want a Singapore dining experience beyond kopitiam breakfast or hawker centre staples.
Service is formal but friendly; staff are used to dietary requests and can recommend spiciness levels and vegetarian options. Practical for visitors, The Blue Elephant is easy to reach from Orchard MRT and nearby hotels, so it often features in itineraries that combine shopping with a polished meal rather than late-night supper runs to a hawker centre.
