Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Violet Oon Singapore at Dempsey offers a refined Peranakan dining experience, consistently praised for its elegant atmosphere and thoughtful menu.

We see a strong emphasis on traditional flavours, with dishes like the Babi Pongteh and Ayam Buah Keluak frequently highlighted for their depth and authenticity.

The setting, described as having a 'quiet colonial charm,' makes it suitable for both special occasions and more casual gatherings.

While many dishes receive high marks, with the Beef Rendang and Dry Laksa often cited as standouts, some feedback suggests that not every item on the extensive menu hits the same high notes, such as the Fuyong crab which was noted as 'very normal.' Service is generally reported as attentive and warm.

We'd recommend this for those seeking a well-executed Peranakan meal in a sophisticated environment, particularly for groups looking to sample a variety of dishes.

What customers say

Violet Oon Singapore at Dempsey is highly praised for its elegant Peranakan ambiance and refined traditional dishes, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual dining.

Customers consistently highlight the thoughtful preparation and complex flavors of dishes like Ayam Buah Keluak, Babi Pongteh, and Beef Rendang.

While most dishes receive acclaim, some find the Babi Pongteh a bit salty and the Fuyong Crab lacking in crabmeat flavor, with a few items being considered average.

Attentive service, particularly from staff like Calvin and Don, is frequently noted.

I’ve dined here twice, and both visits left me pining for more. Every dish was a flavourful delight that truly tantalised the tastebuds. My favourites — the kueh pai tee, assam pedas fish, and beef re…

We had an amazing dinner experience here last evening. Everything was perfect. There were all my favourite Nonya dishes to name. And amongst them was the star of the show, the venerable Roti Jala with…

We needed a special Peranakan place for a farewell lunch. A very dear (visiting) friend who now lives abroad hankers after this local cuisine. Quite a tough task but Violet Oon @Dempsey was the final…
