The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Heng Long BBQ Chicken Rice
-
Rank 1. Burnt Ends
Barbecue
A wood-fired barbecue spot on the World's 50 Best list, and it earns it. The whole room is built around a four-tonne wood-burning oven, and counter seats face the open kitchen so you can watch the fire do its thing up close. The menu shifts constantly, which keeps the regulars coming back and the tourists slightly confused. Wear something you don't mind smelling like smoke on the way home, because that's a compliment here.

Rank 6. Torno Subito
Regional Italian
Massimo Bottura's regional Italian restaurant sits in Dempsey Hill, which has quietly become the neighborhood that food people talk about. The room goes full retro Italian holiday, all bold colors and good energy, and the crowd dresses like they have somewhere else to be later. You can order à la carte or do the six-course tasting menu. The pizza is genuinely well made, and a proper espresso at the end is rarer than it should be in Singapore.

Rank 19. Les Amis
French
Fine dining French in Singapore that's been around forever and still earns its place on Asia's 50 Best list. The kitchen has deep Joël Robuchon roots, and it shows in the kind of classical technique that never feels dusty. White-gloved service, serious cheese and truffle trolleys, and a room full of people who dressed for the occasion. It's a special-occasion place in the best sense, not stuffy, just genuinely polished.

Rank 23. Odette
Modern French
Odette sits inside the National Gallery and honestly feels like part of the collection, with a ceiling installation that earns its own second glance. It's a fine dining room where the chef's modern French cooking quietly pulls in Asian ingredients without making a big deal of it. The room draws the kind of crowd that planned this dinner weeks ago and dressed accordingly. It holds a spot on Asia's 50 Best list, and the food makes that feel earned rather than inherited.

Rank 30. Zén
European Contemporary
Björn Frantzén's three-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant occupies a beautifully restored shophouse, and it earns every star. You start with drinks and snacks downstairs, then head up for eight neo-Nordic courses that quietly absorb Japanese technique along the way. The crowd is dressed up, unhurried, and the kind of people who booked weeks out. The non-alcoholic pairing sounds like a dare but somehow lands every time.

Rank 36. Labyrinth
Innovative
If you want to understand what Singaporean food can become in the right hands, this is the place. Labyrinth is a set-menu fine dining spot that takes the hawker classics you grew up eating and rebuilds them into something quietly mind-bending, with interactive presentation that's theatrical without being annoying. It's earned a spot on Asia's 50 Best, and the room draws food-serious regulars who know not to expect the same meal twice.

Rank 37. Buona Terra
Contemporary Italian
Contemporary Italian fine dining tucked inside a colonial house on Scotts Road, and it earned a spot on 50 Top Italy's global list, which is a pretty good endorsement when you're not even in Italy. The room feels polished without trying too hard, and the seafood dishes are quietly confident in that way only good Italian cooking manages. Dress like you mean it, expect a leisurely evening, and trust whoever's recommending the wine.

Rank 38. Born
Modern Chinese
Born is a fine-dining destination doing something genuinely interesting: a multi-course tasting menu that maps Chinese and Asian flavours onto classical French technique, built around a loose philosophy of life's journey. The building helps, an old colonial-era rickshaw depot in Chinatown with soaring glass ceilings and a suspended paper sculpture that makes the room feel like a gallery. It's on Asia's 50 Best list, so dress up and bring someone you want to impress.

Rank 45. Seroja
Malaysian
Fine dining rooted in the Malay Archipelago, Seroja is a tiny 24-seater that landed on Asia's 50 Best almost immediately after opening, which tells you everything you need to know. The chef cooks the cuisine of his own culture with serious technique, and the tasting menu feels personal rather than performative. Counter seats put you right up against the kitchen action, which is where you want to be. The crowd dresses up a little and pays attention to what's on the plate.

Contemporary Korean
Fine dining that earns its quiet confidence, Nae:um serves a seasonal tasting menu that reframes Korean nostalgia through a contemporary lens. The intimate shopfront room draws couples and serious food people who sit very still so they don't miss anything. Each course is built around a narrative theme, Korean culture translated into something you eat rather than read about. It's on Asia's 50 Best list, and you'll understand why by the third course.
