If you’re heading to Singapore and love food (seriously, who doesn’t?), you’re going to have an amazing time. The food scene is fantastic! There is an endless list of trending restaurants, from world-class restaurants to humble hawker stands.
Picking places can be tough with so many options. No worries! We have put together a cool, curated list of best food spots to check out for 2025. We dish on the hidden gems, the Instagrammable ambiance, and of course, the delicious food.
Atlas Bar
Atlas Bar offers an atmosphere designed to transport you to the glamour of Old Hollywood’s Art Deco period. Expect a grand lobby showcasing a towering gin library with over 1,300 selections and an extensive Champagne collection.
If you’d like to dine somewhere fancy, you will appreciate their expertly crafted classic cocktails or perhaps their diverse Gin & Tonics or enjoy their delightful Afternoon Tea.
For a more substantial bite, we recommend tucking into proper modern European dishes such as Steak Frites. They also offer those rather fetching mini Croque Monsieurs if you prefer something lighter.
For your visit after 5 PM, please note the smart casual dress code (gentlemen, that means long trousers and closed shoes). While daily happy hours aren’t typical, you should keep an eye out for special events like ‘Sundays At ATLAS.’ for their free-flowing cocktails and champagne.

Cavern Restaurant
Cavern Restaurant in Mandai Wildlife Reserve offers a unique subterranean escape as the country’s first and only cave-themed dining spot. Expect an immersive, artificial cave environment inspired by Sarawak’s Mulu Caves, complete with rock formations and atmospheric lighting.
The menu features international Western fare with grilled meats and sharing platters like the Caveman’s Meat Skewer and Ironstrike Knuckle. While the unique ambiance is a major draw, food receives good feedback; standouts include the Stone Hearth Loaf and Durian Soft Serve.
Open to the public without park admission, it provides a novel experience ideal for families, tourists, or adventurous date nights, with prices comparable to mid-range restaurants, positioning it as one of the best food spots for those seeking something different.
@danleanojr A truly unique dining experience at Cavern Restaurant Singapore ✨ I had the chance to experience Cavern Restaurant and let me tell you it’s unlike any other dining experience in Singapore! Recently opened on 12 March 2025, Cavern Restaurant brings Singapore’s first-ever cave dining experience to life at Rainforest Wild ASIA.

The restaurant is inspired by Sarawak’s Mulu Caves, with dramatic rock textures and stunning crystalline cave lights creating an awe-inspiring setting. The ambient lighting really sets the mood making it perfect for a romantic date night, a fun family gathering or even an adventurous night out with friends. Now, let’s talk food- Head Chef Sheng Lim and his team really know how to take dining to the next level. Here’s what we tried: Starters: Stone Hearth Loaf- warm, freshly baked and the perfect way to begin the meal- nothing beats freshly baked bread! Crystal Cave Salad- light, fresh and vibrant- it was the perfect dish to refresh your palate. Mains: Ironstrike Knuckle- this was definitely one of my favorites! tender, juicy and packed with smoky flavors! Caveman’s Meat Skewer- juicy and flavorful, perfect for meat lovers like me 🙂 Dessert: Durian with soft-serve Ice Cream- i'm not typically a fan of durian but this combination totally changed my mind! the soft-serve ice cream balanced it perfectly. Beverages: SNG BUEY” Lime Margarita- refreshing with a local twist that made it extra special. Berry Good Time- sweet, tropical- the perfect way to unwind!

Jason Penang Cuisine
You can never go wrong with a hawker stall. Jason Penang Cuisine is one that we consider a gem.
It is run by a husband-and-wife duo who previously honed their skills as resident chefs for the British High Commissioner. The hawker stall brings genuine Penang flavours to the table, earning them a Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2024.
They offer beloved classics like Char Kway Teow and Prawn Mee, but the true star is their Penang Assam Laksa. Prepared fresh daily using yellowtail fish, the broth delivers a complex blend of tangy and mildly spicy flavors, perfectly complementing the thick rice noodles. The addition of shrimp paste adds a rich umami depth, while a generous amount of fresh mint gives the laksa its distinctive, refreshing character.

Lou Shang

Found on Prinsep Street, this Instagram-worthy cafe offers an immersive, carefully designed space replicating HDB corridors and lift lobbies, complete with nostalgic props and photogenic corners.
The place offers creatively reimagined local flavors like Chilli Crab-tivating and Rainbow Roti, alongside desserts such as Tutu Kueh. Located above Mama Diam, it’s a popular choice for those wondering where to eat at night, thanks to its unique HDB-themed ambiance.
The food at Lou Shang serves creative twists on local flavors. The establishment’s pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range to slightly higher bracket. Visitors seeking a distinctive dining adventure will find it worthwhile.
