The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Rice

Rank 1. 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.
-
Rank 2. 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.

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.

Rank 19. 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.

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.

Rank 37. ANTO
Neapolitan Pizza
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.

Rank 67. Maxi Coffee Bar
Coffee
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.

Rank 90. Nikuya Tanaka
Japanese Steakhouse
A counter-format Japanese steakhouse from Tokyo, where wet-aged beef goes over binchotan charcoal and the chef works close enough that the whole meal feels like a conversation you weren't expecting to enjoy this much. Warm timber, clean lines, no flourishes competing for attention. It landed on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list at number 30, which tracks for a room this focused on doing one thing without making a fuss about it.

Rank 93. Fortuna
Pizza
Marble-effect tiles, upbeat music turned up a notch, and enough kinetic energy to power Chinatown: Fortuna is a pizza trattoria on Craig Road that doesn't pretend to be anything quieter than it is. The dough is well-handled, the crust light enough to hold its toppings without sagging, and the fried options alongside classic and specialty pies give the menu real range. It ranked 33rd on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific.
