With eating being a major pastime in
Singapore, it’s only natural that there are some amazing places to do it. If
you’re travelling on a budget, you’ve picked a great place to visit as some of
the cheapest food in Singapore is the best. But, if you’re travelling on a
budget, you might want to stop reading now. The following is a list of the four
best places in Singapore to get a great meal with a great view. It’s fine
dining at its finest with unique and astonishing surroundings. The following
was written with dinner in mind, as that’s when the best food is rolled out with
the glittering lights so the city in the background. If you want something a
little less expensive all the places are open for lunch as well.
Stellar at 1-Altidue
1-Altitude is the world’s highest alfresco bar.
Located on the 63rd floor of 1 Raffles Place, it offers one of the
world’s best views to accompany a cocktail. One floor below sits Stellar. At
over 250 metres (820ft) above the ground, try not to get vertigo as you feast
on European style dishes, tonnes of fish and seafood and meat straight from the
wood-fired grill. Also available is an amazing array of fresh sushi and sashimi.
If you can’t decide what to eat from the extensive menu, never fear as you can
design your own 4, 5 or 6 course ‘tasting menu’. This is a great way to sample
as many dishes as possible.
Ku Dé Ta at Marina Bay Sands
Ku Dé Ta is the main bar, club and
restaurant on top of the infamous Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino. If you’re
only in Singapore for a short time, this is the place to visit, as your friends
at home who are familiar with Singapore will definitely ask you about it. The
restaurant serves what’s best described as Asian fusion. Apart from the sushi
and sashimi, a lot of the dishes have a very European feel, but with added
tinges of Asian flavour. If you feel like going all out, you need to try the signature
steak. Specially imported from Takara Ranch in central Kansai in Japan, this is
genuine wagu beef. Do not expect to pay anything less than $200 for this
amazing beef.
Equinox Restaurant at Swissotel The
Stamford
Located on the 70th floor of
Swissotel The Stamford, enjoy views of nearby Indonesia and Malaysia while
feasting on upscale European cuisine. The
most traditional restaurant on the list, the room itself uses lots of wood and
even mother of pearl making for an elegant but welcoming atmosphere. No sushi
to be found here, just English and European favourites from pork with Scotch
egg, prunes and whisky sauce to gnocchi with baby carrots, fennel and turnips. If
you’re from that part of the world, this is definitely the place to go if you’re
missing a taste of home.
Singapore Flyer Sky Dining
We’ve saved the best till last. While all
the other places on the list do have incredible views, they are just standard
restaurants. In order to take it to the next level, you need to book a capsule on
the Singapore Flyer for you next meal. Dining in the world’s largest Ferris
wheel is one of the most memorable dining experience you’ll have anywhere in
the world. With uninterrupted spectacular views, the finest food and personal
butler-style service, Singapore Flyer Sky Dining is the ultimate dining
destination. It’s not cheap but it’s something you’ll never forget and perfect
for special occasions like anniversaries and Valentine’s Day.
Just like the locals, you will spend a lot
of time eating while in Singapore. All the options above are a chance to dine
somewhere that shows off the city of Singapore. A few things to keep in mind; bookings
are essential for all four places. Also extra important, with the exception of
the Singapore Flyer, is that not all tables in these restaurants are by the
window. When booking a table you should definitely try and reserve a window
seat to get the full effect of the restaurants selling point. If you do miss
out on a window seat, all the restaurants have bars as well which give a lot
more freedom in terms of getting a good view. Have a nice meal and enjoy the
view!
