This Southern Italian gem is unbashedly proud of its culinary pleasures and sincerely authentic.

The seafood dishes are especially impressive, a nod to the rich fishing history of Southern Italy.

1 Fullerton Square

First of all, full marks for their Chinaware! With equally homely yet sophisticated Cantonse fare to match — they’re certainly worthy of their one Michelin Star.

7 Raffles Avenue

Dinnertime sees Modern European favourites with occasional pleasant Asian influences in the likes of wagyu tataki.

Come the weekend, enjoy hearty roasts and morning classic at a lazy Sunday brunch. All this with the view of Marina Bay from the 70th floor.

2 Stamford Road

Need we say more? We feel like royalty just looking at this contemporary French masterpiece of a restaurant.

29 Tanglin Road

With a customised menu masterfully prepared in front of your eyes by your own personal chef, dining experiences don’t get much more intimate and luxurious than this. Save this for a special occasion!

1 The Knolls, Sentosa Island 

You think you know Cantonese fare, but Mitzo reinvents it with flavours simultaneously familiar and fresh that blows even Cantonese chefs away.

A must try: their specialty char siew (barbecued roasted pork).

270 Orchard Road

Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Every cent.

They don’t scrimp on quality — the freshest seafood is flown in from Tokyo’s Tsukiji market. Every mouth of the omakase eperience is a slice of pure heaven.

29 Tanglin Road

If we were to name the ultimate steakhouse in Singapore, the venerable Morton’s would be a strong contender. And a bonus? Their signature Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake. True to name.

5 Raffles Avenue

“Alma” is Spanish for “soul”, and we see this is every aspect of the restaurant, from the culinary passion put into the food to the soothing ambience that’s perfect for get-togethers.

22 Scotts Road

With a spin on Indian cuisine, the restaurant dishes out favourites like quinoa upma and tandoori lobster.

Impressively, they retain the authenticity of rich Indian flavours while catering to loca and international palates.

7 Raffles Boulevard
