The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Bitters and Love

  1. Rank 1. Cloudstreet

    Sri Lankan Australian



  2. Rank 3. NAEUM Restaurant

    Contemporary Korean


  3. Rank 4. Born

    Modern Chinese

    A former rickshaw depot at a Chinatown crossroads, the triangular building alone stops traffic before you step inside. Born is a fine dining restaurant where glass ceilings and a suspended paper sculpture set the tone for chef Zor Tan's multi-course menu: Modern Chinese cooking shaped by French technique, with each course tied to a principle like Memory or Legacy. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.


  4. Rank 5. Odette

    Modern French

    A paper installation by artist Dawn Ng hangs from the ceiling of this three-Michelin-star modern French restaurant inside the National Gallery, which means dinner arrives with a side of actual museum energy. Chef Julien Royer grew up on a farm and cooks like it still matters, sourcing from small producers across Asia and Europe. The menu sits on a French spine with Asian inflections folded quietly through it. It holds a spot on The World's 50 Best Restaurants.


  5. Rank 6. Zén

    Neo-Nordic New American

    Björn Frantzén's Singapore shophouse holds three Michelin stars and a tasting menu that moves you floor by floor, aperitif and amuse-bouche downstairs, the full neo-Nordic progression upstairs. The kitchen leans on seafood and Japanese ideas without quite belonging to either, and the non-alcoholic pairings are eccentric in a way that somehow makes you trust them more. Worth knowing the restaurant is temporarily closed before you plan around it.


  6. Rank 7. Nae:Um

    Contemporary Korean

    Each seasonal tasting menu at this fine dining restaurant arrives framed as an "episode," with past chapters organized around Jeju Island, a sunset walk along the Han River, and a backyard barbecue. Chef Louis Han reinterprets Korean nostalgic cooking through Western technique, so cold buckwheat noodles become haute cuisine and a buttery sauce quietly channels a spicy fish stew. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, and the intimate shophouse room, all cream and warm light, keeps the focus on the plates.



  7. Rank 9. Waku Ghin

    Contemporary Japanese



  8. Rank 11. Saint Pierre

    Modern French


  9. Rank 12. Willow

    Contemporary Japanese



  10. A cereal box arrives at the table and turns out to be dessert, which tells you most of what you need to know about Labyrinth. This Michelin-starred fine dining room takes hawker-stall nostalgia, bak kut teh and all, and rebuilds it into a theatrical set menu where the props are part of the point. The room runs dark and spare, warmed by wood and Singaporean art. It holds a spot on both Asia's and the World's 50 Best lists.





  11. Rank 18. Meta

    Modern Korean


  12. Rank 19. JAAN By Kirk Westaway

    Contemporary British



  13. Rank 21. Hayop

    Filipino




  14. Rank 24. JAG

    Contemporary French


  15. Rank 25. Jungle

    Modern Thai Cocktail Bar







  16. Rank 31. Lerouy

    Contemporary French









  17. Rank 39. Whitegrass Restaurant

    Contemporary French













  18. Rank 51. Marguerite

    Contemporary New American


  19. Rank 52. Whole Earth

    Thai-Peranakan Vegetarian


  20. Tucked through the back entrance off Club Street, this compact specialty coffee bar keeps things minimal in design and serious about the cup. Pour-overs are the move, served alongside freshly baked pastries to the laptop crowd and the pre-dinner-out crowd in equal measure. The Club Street location means the neighborhood turns lively by evening, making it a useful gear-shift between the workday and whatever comes next.


  21. Rank 54. Sospiri

    Southern Italian











  22. Rank 64. Butcher's Block

    Wood-fired Steakhouse


  23. Rank 65. Fiz

    Malaysian


  24. Rank 66. Sushi Katori

    Edomae Sushi






  25. Rank 71. VUE

    Contemporary New American


  26. Rank 72. Mott 32 Singapore

    Contemporary Chinese




  27. Rank 75. Fat Prince

    Middle Eastern




  28. A Neapolitan-style pizza bar in the Jiak Chuan Road dining strip, where the dough is long-fermented, the crust rises high, and the aperitivo list is taken as seriously as the pies. Negronis and Americanos anchor the drinks, and the room, dark-toned and minimal, fills quickly with people who know to book ahead. It ranks on the 50 Top Pizza World list, with a 2025 One to Watch special award to go with it.


  29. Rank 79. Seroja

    Malaysian

    The name comes from the Malay word for lotus flower and the street where the chef grew up, which sets the tone for what follows. Seroja is a 24-seat fine dining restaurant built around a multi-course menu of Malay Archipelago cooking, with counter seats that put the kitchen on full display. Mangrove wood-charred scallops with laksa leaf sauce are the signature. It holds a Michelin star and sits on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.







  30. Rank 85. Ki Su Shoujin Omakase

    Japanese-French Vegetarian


  31. Rank 86. Fleur De Sel Le

    Modern French



  32. Rank 88. Majestic

    Modern Cantonese







  33. Rank 94. Esquina

    Spanish



  34. Rank 96. Olivia

    Catalan




  35. Rank 99. FOC Restaurant

    Catalonian Spanish


  36. Rank 100. Brasserie Astoria
