Bhoomi

Indian

Solid wood furniture, rattan pendant lamps, and wagon wheel chandeliers impart modern boho chic in this bright, cozy space with two levels. The chef recounts his memories and personal story through a menu that encompasses meat dishes, as well as vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan options. Inspired by Indian street food, the signature Indori beetroot tikki is big on flavors with a hint of sweetness from the corn.

Ichigo Ichie

Japanese

After working in a kappo restaurant in Tokyo and helming a famous sushi-ya in Singapore, Chef Eno has brought to life her own fine-dining concept. At this address since 2024, she serves two set menus that change with the seasons. Her signature somen with kuruma ebi and uni bursts with seafood umami — the briny and sweet prawn broth clings nicely to the silky noodles. Reservations recommended, especially for the sought-after counter seats.

Iru Den

Taiwanese Contemporary

A Singaporean chef and his Taiwanese wife opened this restaurant with 12 counter seats and a private room serving authentic Taiwanese fare using top-notch ingredients from the island.

The chef’s creative vision and solid skills shine through in tiny details and subtle flavors. His kamameshi rice in a cast iron pot features seasonal catch from the sea and Taiwanese rice. Crispy, smoky rice on the bottom works magically with the fish and house-made pickles.

Kang Le Fishball Noodles

Street Food

Although the menu also offers laksa, pork balls, and fish dumpling soup, the bouncy, flavorsome fishballs with noodles remain its speciality. Choose between wheat or rice noodles, served in a clear broth or tossed in sauces.

L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele

Pizza

This 150-year-old Neapolitan pizza chain opened their first Asian outpost in 2024 and offers 18 different toppings. All the pizzas are made to order and come in one size only — 15 inches (37cm). Piled high with freshly cooked tomato sauce and cheese, the thin crust is perfectly crisp and chewy at the same time. If you can’t make up your mind, opt for a Marita — half marinara half margherita. The menu also offers starters, pasta and desserts.

Latido

Colombian, Contemporary

Chef Arévalo reinvents the traditional cuisine of his home country with modern, playful twists. His new spin on authentic Colombian flavours makes his dishes approachable even for first-timers. The arepa de chócolo y huevo — corn cake filled with eggs and grilled pork jowl — has a more mellow taste than the version typically served in his homeland. The bright room adorned with Colombian tribal art and masks exudes a cheerful, convivial vibe.

The signature wonton noodles feature flavorsome bite-size dumplings, served either in soup or tossed in sauces. The noodles are cooked to perfect consistency with a lovely chew. Sliced char siew adds depth.

Na Oh

Korean Contemporary

The joint venture between a motor group and Korean-American chef Corey Lee advocates a "seed-to-table" concept, whereby most of the vegetables served are picked every morning from the "smart" farm abutting the dining room. The combination of Korean culinary traditions and cutting-edge technology is quite inspiring. The kitchen of mostly Korean natives delivers a single seasonal tasting menu of refined Korean dishes.

10 Quenino.jpg

Quenino

Innovative

Supervised by Chef Victor Liong from Melbourne, and helmed by Chef Su, who is of Indian-Chinese descent, this fine dining restaurant serves menus imbued with a deeply rooted multicultural ethos. Australian ingredients are used in conjunction with local produce in pan-Asian recipes that meld Singaporean, Malaysian, and Indonesian influences. Expect unmistakably Asian flavors, such as buah keluak and tamarind, in creative, neat culinary gems.

San Xiang Rou Cuo Mian

Street Food

It's bak chor mee that can be made with your choice of noodles — mee pok being the most popular. Bouncy noodles are dressed in sambal and topped with sliced pork and meatballs. Also try the noodle soup with fish balls or pork liver.

Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh

Singaporean

This simple shop has been around for over 40 years and is now run by the second generation owner. As its name suggests, bak kut teh with pepper and garlic served in a claypot is their speciality — the broth is rich, but not overpoweringly spicy and the pork ribs are tender and flavorsome. Sesame oil chicken cooked in a claypot is another highlight. The wings are succulent, and the sauce delivers nutty aromas and mild sweetness. Also try local stir-fries.

Sugarra

Basque

Sugarra is Basque for "flame", which gave birth to cooking. Here, native Basque chef Aitor Jeronimo Orive pays tribute to this legacy as he returns to his culinary roots, while injecting modern touches into Basque classics deftly crafted with Spanish produce. Sip an aperitif or cocktail at the bar before ordering one of the three menus. The first course stars a lineup of Spain’s best-known tapas and is a genuine tour de force.

13 Sushi Hare.jpg

Sushi Hare

Sushi

In keeping with Japanese minimalist philosophy, the space is simple and serene. The bespoke 7m counter was crafted in Japan from a single piece of cypress wood. The chef has 10+ years of experience and uses Japanese fish exclusively for his sushi. To ensure freshness, seafood is flown in from Japan four times a week. In addition to the lunch and dinner omakase menus, there is the ultra-lavish Hare menu (pre-order a week ahead).

Singapore’s dining scene just got even tastier with these latest additions.

An omakase counter delivers an intimate experience where premium ingredients take centre stage, while a hidden Italian gem serves up soulful cooking — think handmade pasta, seafood platters, and a well-curated wine list. Over in the hawker world, legends continue to shine — we're talking wok-fired noodles infused with smoky depth and hearty bowls of braised delights steeped in tradition. Whether you're after refined dining or time-honoured humble fare, there’s something here to satisfy every craving.

Jungle

Thai

The simple, cosy space with exposed beams and wooden furnishings exudes a warm feel. Balancing sweet, sour, and salty notes with fiery heat, the chef turns fresh produce into modern Thai dishes that are packed with flavour. The small menu changes regularly but may include signatures such as smoky chargrilled pork jowl, or yellow crab curry with beautifully bold aromas. The friendly and dynamic service team is also a plus.

The fried kway teow here comes in two portion sizes and black and white varieties. Both feature good wok hei and silky texture. Bean sprouts, egg, preserved sausage, and blood clams provide extra flavours.

03 Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee.jpg

Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee

Street Food

This stall has been serving just one item since opening its doors in 1960 — Hokkien fried mee with prawns. The egg noodles and rice vermicelli are tossed in a rich broth made with prawn shells and tomalley to impart deep umami.

Omakase @ Stevens

Innovative

The chef hails from Osaka and honed his skills in some of Tokyo’s top kitchens. In his 6- or 8-course omakase menu, he revisits his Japanese roots with classic French techniques. Exquisite dishes made with quality seasonal Japanese produce taste light, sophisticated and subtle. With only 16 seats at the pine wood counter overlooking the open kitchen, reservations are recommended. The immaculate service further adds to the experience.

Sospiri

Italian

Tucked away in an office building, Sospiri prides itself on authentic Southern Italian cooking. Handmade pasta and seafood are served in portions generous enough for sharing. Fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, wild greens, and baby artichokes are deftly crafted to bring out their natural flavours. Remember to save room for its traditional tiramisu. Wine buffs will also appreciate the wine list that includes a wide selection of Italian labels.

This kway chap shop serves the broad rice noodles with pork belly, feet, intestine, tripe and dried tofu braised in a spiced soy-based marinade. Noodles are thin and silky; braised pork and tofu impart deep flavours and aromas.
