Welcome to Singapore, one of the world’s great food destinations, where eating—and eating well—is a time-honored national pastime.
Here you can splurge on haute cuisine from Michelin-starred chefs in some of the best fine-dining restaurants in Asia, or dig into fragrant bowls oflaksa (a spicy noodle soup) and heaping plates of char kway teow (stir-fried rice noodle strips) at one of the island’s famous hawker centers. The wide range of food and restaurants is what brings many travelers to Singapore in the first place, and few leave disappointed. In most cities the plan of attack is to map out must-see sights to pack in as much as possible; in Singapore it's often more about maximizing your meals and eating until it hurts—and then trying to fit in some more.
You hardly ever have to go far to find one of Singapore’s casual eating houses and hawker centers, which are fun, budget-friendly places to taste as many local specialties as your stomach can handle. The city-state’s indomitable megamalls are loaded with mid-range restaurants, sprawling food courts, and snack stands. Many of the island’s more upscale restaurants are tucked away in posh hotels, and many of the newer and trendier places are inside restored Chinese shophouses and once-abandoned colonial buildings. Note that upscale restaurants often close in the afternoon between lunch and dinner—from 2:30 to 6:30, for instance.

The sight of sharks and manta rays swimming past your dinner table at this elegant restaurant in the S.E.A. Aquarium makes for quite the memory. Sure, watching more than 40,000 sea creatures behind floor-to-ceiling glass as you tuck into a plate of blue cod or langoustine might induce guilt, but you can ease your pangs with the knowledge that the kitchen works with sustainable sources. Book in advance to secure a table right beside the floor-to-ceiling glass panels.
The two-Michelin-starred Shoukouwa offers perhaps the most intimate dining experience in all of Singapore, with just eight counter seats and a private room for six. Reservations are a must, but for your trouble, you get elegant omakase meals created with obsessive attention to detail—even the sushi rice is dressed in a meticulously crafted mix of artisanal vinegars. There is an extensive, well-curated sake menu to complement the omakase set menus.
Situated at the heart of foodie Keong Saik Road, chef Mano Thevar’s eponymous modern Indian restaurant provides a refreshing take on cuisine not often considered fine dining. Recognizable dishes like Chettinad chicken roti are given a unique twist with European techniques and flavors from the Malay peninsula. The fun atmosphere, extensive menu, and multiple vegetarian options make this a great choice for those wanting to experience fine Indian dining.
Celebrated chef Tetsuya Wakuda expertly melds Australian, Japanese, and classic French cuisine to craft the innovative menus at this two-Michelin-starred spot. The dinner experience begins with a 10-course degustation meal in one of the three private cocoon rooms, which is followed by dessert in the drawing room with a view of Marina Bay and then a Japanese-style cocktail or sake at The Bar at Waku Ghin.
