Vino Tinto

Historical 2025 opening record. Confirm current status

Vino Tinto is a Spanish tapas and wine bar in the lobby of One Raffles Quay South Tower, the third restaurant from Daniel and Tamara Chavez, who run Canchita and Tinto at Dempsey. Time Out's pre-opening report of 3 January 2025 listed more than 30 tapas, with tapas from S$6, paellas and fideuá from S$28, and Spanish wines from S$14 a glass. The Ranting Panda's review of 20 January 2025 reported a three-course set lunch at S$46++. These are historical publication prices, not current prices. The 40-seat room is themed by region, with Valencia outside, Madrid in the main hall and Toledo on the terrace.

Worth it for / Skip if

Worth it for — a table you can lock in — seats are booked through TableCheck; arriving by train — the record puts it 3 minutes on foot from Downtown MRT.

Skip if — you are deciding at the door: the record carries a booking route, not a walk-in policy.

Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.

What it costs

No priced item is on record for this venue. Forkin publishes a price only where a dated public source carries it, so nothing is estimated here. The venue's own published price band is $.

The longer version

Vino Tinto occupies unit 01-10/K1 in the lobby of One Raffles Quay South Tower, and is the third concept from the chefs Daniel and Tamara Chavez, after the Peruvian Canchita and the Spanish Tinto, both at Dempsey. Time Out's 3 January 2025 pre-opening report said the 40-seat room would offer more than 30 tapas from across Spain; it listed tapas from S$6, wine from S$14 a glass, sangria from S$18, gambas al ajillo at S$26 and cochinillo from S$56, alongside paella and fideuá. These are January 2025 reported prices, not current menu prices. The Ranting Panda's review of 20 January 2025 adds the detail the announcement did not: the room is themed by region, with Valencia on the alfresco area, Madrid in the main dining hall and Toledo on the terrace, and it reported a three-course set lunch at S$46++. It is the only account of the food on record and it rated the visit 4 out of 5, with 4 for taste and value and 3.5 for the room. Its judgement divided along one line: the tapas worked better than the rice dishes. It called the pulpo a la brasa a must-order for the smoked chilli mayo whipped with chipotle, liked the Tosta Ramona's crystal bread with anchovies and burrata, and the Tinto Bikini of Manchego and serrano ham with truffle aioli — then found the fideuá wanting more char at the edges and the seafood paella's rice "a tad dry". The same reviewer said desserts were available on request rather than listed and described the room as very open-plan, a feature that may not suit every diner. The current operator page provides its own menu, reservation link and weekday opening information.

Opening hours

Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. The venue's own summary reads: {"fri": "11:30-14:00, 17:30-21:00", "mon": "11:30-14:00, 17:30-21:00", "sat": "closed", "sun": "closed", "thu": "11:30-14:00, 17:30-21:00", "tue": "11:30-14:00, 17:30-21:00", "wed": "11:30-14:00, 17:30-21:00"}. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.

Why Vino Tinto scores 7.2

WORTH A LOOK · band 7.0–8.4 (base 7.5)

The Forkin Evidence Score is a transparent calibration of the published evidence behind this venue's editorial stamp — not a personal dining rating, and never derived from Google data. It starts from the stamp's base value, applies the five evidence adjustments below, then clamps the result inside the stamp's band.

Editorial stamp

WORTH A LOOK

Confidence: low

Forkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.

One countable exact-outlet assessment survives re-verification: The Ranting Panda's dated 20 January 2025 self-funded visit to the One Raffles Quay South Tower tapas bar, which tastes seven dishes, scores them and records material reservations. The second counted source failed this pass: the recorded Spirited Singapore URL is dead, and the live article re-identified on spiritedasia.com carries no byline and no publication date on the page and credits its photography to the restaurant, so it is undated, unattributable and of unresolved independence. Source consensus therefore falls from moderate to limited and the score falls from 7.4 to 7.2; the stamp is retained only through the disclosed one-source provisional route.

What public coverage says

Vino Tinto, the Spanish tapas and wine bar in the One Raffles Quay South Tower lobby from the Canchita and Tinto team, draws one countable independent assessment. The Ranting Panda rated the meal 4/5 overall, calling the pulpo a la brasa a must-order for its tender octopus and smoked chipotle mayo and praising the crystal-bread tosta, but found the seafood paella rice a tad dry and wanted more char on the fideuá. The value three-course business lunch at S$46++ is singled out as the draw.

Last assessed 24 August 2026 · 1 linked substantive source

Caveat: Sponsorship/hosting, affiliate, and publisher-relationship checks remain unresolved. Citation failure 24 August 2026: the recorded Spirited Singapore URL (spiritedsingapore.com/2025/01/vino-tinto-one-raffles-quay/) returns 404. The live article was located at spiritedasia.com/2025/03/vino-tinto/, but it carries no byline and no on-page publication date — the only date signal is the URL month — and it credits its images to the restaurant. It is reclassified from counted to context only and the record now points at the live URL. Re-assessment 24 August 2026: source consensus lowered from moderate to limited on a single countable source; the score fell from 7.4 to 7.2 and the stamp is retained only under the disclosed one-source provisional route.
