Chef Sun Kim hails from Korea's Busan and his refined modern cooking combines Korean traditions and bold flavours with minimalist plating. The single tasting menu is dominated by seafood and vegetables, as seen in steamed Jeju abalone with gochujang seaweed risotto – the tender mollusc, creamy rice and crunchy lily bulbs feature contrasting textures. In addition to wine pairing, the non-alcoholic Korean drink flight is also worth trying.

(The restaurant is temporarily closed.) The celebrity chef of Frantzén fame has opened his third Asian venture in this shophouse. Diners are offered an aperitif and amuse-bouche on the first floor, before the eight-course neo-Nordic, seafood-slanted tasting menu with Japanese influences unfolds on the second floor. The onion course is a tour de force whose flavours are intensified by contrasting textures and temperatures. The non-alcoholic drink pairing sees eccentric combos that nonetheless work.

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. As always, the food is served omakase style – choose the number of courses and tell the servers about your allergies and dislikes. 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?

Creative combinations, impeccable techniques and exquisite plating result in dishes that are as elegant as they are memorable. The understated and graceful room, overseen by a highly polished service team, provides the perfect backdrop.

In addition to naming his venture after the Tim Winton book, Sri Lankan chef Rishi Naleendra pays homage to Australia where he honed his skills. His food embodies balance and harmony, making the best use of top-quality ingredients and well thought-out flavours. Highlights include Sri Lankan curry with blue marron and coconut broth, and Murray cod with fermented bell pepper and almonds. The savvy front-of-house team delivers slick service and the perfect vibe.

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.
