I’d just passed Papi’s Tacos, then Five Oars Coffee, but my speakeasy stop for the night still eluded me.

I maintain that the most interesting restaurant set-ups can only be found at the most arbitrary of locales which elude the public with a certain twinge of inaccessibility — after all, real estate is a disproportionately exorbitant luxury in Singapore’s F&B scene. But the community always finds a way to congregate in cosy little alcoves like at Rochester, where Gary’s Restaurant is located.
As simple as Pizza sounds, pizza making is undoubtedly a finesse decided by the finest margins through control of the gluten and taming of the woodfire. It’s a kind of exquisite artistry that, despite its humble roots, Singapore has a shortage of — but if discerning gourmands have a favourite establishment to flock to for pizza, it has to be La Bottega Enoteca.
Sunday roasts are perhaps one of the most under-represented gems of British cuisine in Singapore. While fish & chips are getting plenty of coverage, only a handful of swanky restaurants indulge in the heartiness of a Sunday roast.

Spanish food is having its moment in Singapore, as an increasing number of Spanish restaurants started earning dazzling plaudits and ended up on the Michelin radar. There are quite a slew of places for date nights but if you’re looking for piping-hot Paella, no place comes as recommended by other food lovers as Kulto.
An amble through the stately corridors of The Ritz Carlton’s ground floor is quite the voyage. Coming in from the West Wing, you’re greeted first by the venerated two Michelin-star Summer Pavillion, then the eternal favourite of Colony, before you stand face to face with the grandiose new concept, the one-year-old Republic Bar.

Here’s a chance for you to see alcohol pairings in a whole different light — Perfect Pairing by Martell is the glitzy new collaboration between Martell and Singapore’s hottest restaurants, which aims to break that mould of chasing sophisticated dishes with wines whose names most of us are likely to mispronounce.
