The Ship Restaurant Menu Singapore: Prices, Dishes & Guide

Some restaurants are institutions, and The Ship Restaurant at Shaw Centre is one of them — a wood-panelled, life-buoy-hung dining room that has served old-school Western food since the days when steak arrived on a sizzling plate as a matter of course. The famous lobster thermidor set lunches start around S$40.90, with regular set lunches from S$12.90++.

The signatures are the King Steak (fillet plus half lobster thermidor, approx. S$38.90) and the baked half lobster thermidor paired with grilled meats. Old-school Western fans can also check the Jack’s Place menu for the closest rival in nostalgic steakhouse dining, or the Collins menu for the modern soup-and-grill alternative.

This guide covers The Ship’s menu with prices, the set lunch deals, the lobster specials, and answers to common questions about the Shaw Centre outlet.

The Ship Restaurant Menu Singapore: Dishes & Prices

The menu is a time capsule in the best way: escargot bourguignon, lobster bisque, chicken Maryland-era grills, and steaks with old-plate sauces. Portions are generous, flavours are comforting rather than challenging, and the set lunch is one of Orchard’s best-kept value secrets.

Appetisers

Classic continental starters: crab-stuffed mushrooms, escargot in garlic butter, baked mussels with cheese, and baked scallops. These are the dishes that taste like 1990s fine dining — fondly.

Escargot Bourguignon (half dozen)	18.90
Baked Mussels with Cheese (half dozen)	18.90
