A vegetarian version is available but needs pre-ordering. The wine list covers 600+ labels; ask about wine, sake and non-alcoholic drink pairings.

Sporting a brand-new image, Lerouy moved to this new address in 2024. Head to the cute little bar for a pre- or post-meal drink. The main dining area overlooks the open kitchen for a chef’s table-like vibe.

The kitchen excels in unexpected food and flavour combinations that never fail to pleasantly surprise.

Where better to find a priceless jewel of the Singapore dining scene than in The National Gallery?

The understated and graceful room, overseen by a highly polished service team, provides the perfect backdrop.

Embodying the essence of fine dining, this romantic restaurant has it all – wonderful food, service and ambiance, and spectacular views. Chef Westaway makes good use of top-notch British produce and inspirations to turn out modern culinary creations that never fail to impress. A British classic, fish & chips, gets a posh makeover with sour cream, lemon zest and caviar. Even the alcohol-free gin and tonic palate cleanser is impeccably crafted.

Further to a recent refurbishment, the interior still exudes luxury and elegance, but in an updated, understated manner. The head chef, who honed his craft at the Tokyo branch for over 12 years, champions a refined take on Chūka Sichuan cooking. Try his signature mapo tofu, or the stir-fried Hokkaido Mangalica pork – packed with bold flavours, it is also bursting with umami, thanks to the fatty pork belly and a blend of fermented bean sauces.

Haute cuisine is increasingly about the chef embracing creative freedom and dictating the whole experience. At the longstanding, singularly sophisticated and world-renowned Les Amis, the choice is yours. The prix-fixe menus present a wide range of modern French classics with occasional Asian twists, in which simple ingredient combinations and seasoning highlight the natural flavours. Consider booking the chef's table for an intimate experience.

After working in some prestigious kitchens, Chef Nicolas Tam makes his debut with this intimate, understated and well-run restaurant. His solid French techniques come through in his pan-Asian tasting menu featuring mostly Japanese ingredients, sporting refinement, precision and balance. Served and introduced by the chefs themselves, the courses flow seamlessly and build upon each other. Counter seats overlooking the kitchen are the ones to go for.
