Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer

Treat your friends to an all-American dinner at the award-winning Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer. This casual dining place transports diners to New York City with its wide selection of decadent burgers, over-the-top milkshakes, a bespoke mural, and old-school hip-hop soundtracks.

NYC Wine & Food Festival’s 3x People’s Choice Award Winner, the world-famous Greg Norman burger is a must-try dish at Black Tap. Dishes at this best dinner place includes the juicy signature, made out of a succulent 7-ounce Wagyu patty created by grinding chuck and brisket together, which is then cooked on a flattop to achieve a ‘chef’s medium rare’ with an optimum crust. The gorgeously brown patty coated with melted blue cheese is sandwiched between two buns with arugula, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, ready to be served. Top it off with one of their classic CrazyShake milkshakes or with a pint of craft beer.

Black Tap is located at L1-80, The Shoppes.

Bread Street Kitchen By Gordon Ramsay

Imagine sipping on a handcrafted cocktail as you dine al fresco by the Marina Bay waterfront. Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay’s waterfront restaurant, Bread Street Kitchen, is an exquisite dinner place worth visiting for the view and the British classics.

Their signature Beef Wellington comes highly recommended. Juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside, this dish features a tender beef fillet, cooked medium-rare, encased inside a duxelles of browned mushrooms, shallots and herbs. It’s then wrapped in buttery puff pastry and slivers of prosciutto, then baked until golden brown. The accompanying fresh mixed-leaves salad, creamy truffle brie mashed potatoes, and rich red wine jus add a cacophony of rich flavours to this British classic.

Bread Street Kitchen is located at L1-81, The Shoppes.

CUT by Wolfgang Puck

Owned by legendary celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, this one Michelin star restaurant in Singapore caters to the true steak connoisseur with the finest range of beef selections grilled over applewood and charcoal. CUT elevates your dinner experience with their elegant marble bar, plush leather seats, attentive service, and their extensive selection of wines and cocktails.

While their Angus and Wagyu selections are great for the main course, we highly recommend starting your dinner with one of the all-time favourites, the Maryland Blue Crab Cake. High-quality lump meat sourced from fresh-off-the-boat blue crabs is mixed with bread crumbs, eggs and spices, and broiled over low flame to give them a nice, golden colour. Served with spicy heirloom tomato relish and herby basil aioli, this dish is guaranteed to be a hit.

CUT is located at B1-71, The Shoppes.

KOMA Singapore

Offering a modern take on centuries-old Japanese recipes, this award-winning restaurant and sushi bar is a great dinner place to dine with friends or family. Admirers of Japanese culture will love the elevated ambience with a 2.5m bell over a traditional footbridge, and orange arches in the passageway inspired by Fushimi Inari Shrine.

Start your dinner with their extremely flavourful Salmon Pillows: crispy puffs of smoked avocado, delicately stacked with fresh, tender salmon sashimi, and sweet yet fiery roasted jalapeño peppers. The other must-try is the D.I.Y Spicy Tuna, rolls of sashimi-grade tuna, laced with spicy chilli oil or Sriracha, rolled into a sushi with sweet mango pieces, finely chopped scallions and crispy rice. Dip it into wasabi or drizzle some soy sauce to enjoy this KOMA signature.

KOMA is located at B1-67, The Shoppes.

KOMA also offers Omakase lunch and dinner menu. Check out our guide to the best Omakase restarants in Singapore for an exceptional experience.

LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar

For a dinner with a view, head up to LAVO. One of the most romantic dinner restaurants in Singapore, you’ll find LAVO 57 storeys up at the rooftop of Marina Bay Sands. A lavish lounge and rooftop bar, it offers award-winning Italian-American fare at its sprawling outdoor bar and terrace.

With The Meatball as LAVO’s signature dish, we also recommend trying out a pizza version of the same, the Meatball Pizza. Multiple balls made of fresh ground meat (delicate veal, spicy Italian sausage, Imperial Wagyu) and slices of crunchy capsicum are layered on top of a slathering of sweet and sour tomato agrodolce; overlaid with a generous portion of tenderly whipped ricotta cheese, the pizza is baked in a traditionally Italian brick oven. This Neapolitan style of making pizzas allows the toppings and the crust to simultaneously be cooked to perfection. This delectable merger of two favourites is worth a try.

LAVO is located at L57, Hotel Tower 1.

Mott 32 Singapore

A ‘Tatler’s Guide - Top 20’ restaurant, Mott 32 is renowned for its innovative cooking techniques, best-in-class service, and a gorgeous ambiance that is a blend of industrial New York design and classical Chinese décor. It is one of the best dinner restaurants in Singapore for a date night if your partner enjoys Chinese cuisine.

No trip to Mott 32 is complete without a taste of their crispy and succulent Applewood Roasted 42 Days Peking Duck. The ducks used in this signature dish are raised for exactly 42 days before being cured in a special marinade, then smoked with applewood in a brick oven to give the meat a rich, smoky flavour and ensure its crispy skin. It takes 48 hours to prepare this epicurean masterpiece, which is carved tableside. For maximum flavour, the dish is served with crepes, brown palm sugar and hoisin peanut sauce for diners to build their perfect bite.

Mott 32 is located at B1-42-44, The Shoppes.

Wakuda Restaurant & Bar

Helmed by the Michelin-starred Chef Tetsuya Wakuda (who also owns the award-winning ‘Waku Ghin’), this dinner place offers a vibrant culinary experience with its contemporary twist on Japanese cuisine. Their à la carte izakaya menu comprises food prepared with precious ingredients sourced from Australia, Europe, Japan and New Zealand, and a beverage list of rare sake selection and handcrafted cocktails.

Seafood gourmands will find Wakuda's Carabineros Prawn to be a genuine delight. Bright red deep-sea prawns with a robust flavour are pan-seared until juicy soft, and served alongside a creamy Italian shellfish risotto, whisked with umami-flavoured Japanese miso.

Wakuda is located in the Lobby, Hotel Tower 2.
