Despite its name, Unter Den Linden is not a German restaurant. It's more of an Asian-Western fusion restaurant with a slight Japanese bias. So, you don't come here for pork knuckles, Bratwurst, Jager Schnitzel to be washed down with Schnapps. We learnt of its all-you-can-eat dinner buffet which had soup, appetizers, pasta and meats, so we had to try.

Portsdown Road is still the tree-lined winding road that once led from North Buona Vista Road to Ayer Rajah Road. Despite the encroachment of the skyscrapers of one-north, the old colonial buildings still exist, as well as eating places like the legendary Colbar, which was featured in the blog's first vintage eating places of Singapore. UDL is newer, but located in a restored and renovated old building, and it has a really nice ambience.
The people here are friendly, mostly local and the pleasant surprise is its pet-friendly too. Dogs and their charges sit separate from other diners, but the atmosphere is quiet and intimate.

Here is what we ate, and everything is delicious - especially the squid ink risotto and rib-eye steak, for which we had multiple helpings. At $49++ per person, it was well worth the outlay. The buffet only operates from Mondays to Thursdays (except public holidays and eves).
