The Best Places to Eat and Drink in Bugis & around

  1. Rank 1. 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.

  2. Burlap sacks on the walls, porcelain behind the bar, and a cocktail menu organized like a history syllabus: Trading Post, Crown Colony, Banana Republic, and on through to the present. Nutmeg & Clove is a cocktail bar that uses Singapore's past as its entire creative brief, so ordering feels less like choosing a drink and more like picking an era. It holds a spot on both Asia's and the World's 50 Best Bars lists.

  10. Rank 9. ATLAS

    Art Deco Cocktail Bar

    The three-storey back bar tower holds over 1,100 gins, which tells you everything about the ambition here before you've even sat down. Atlas is a cocktail bar inside Singapore's art deco "Gotham City" office building, all brass and velvet and soaring ceilings that make you feel like a minor character in a 1920s heist film. The kind of place where you order carefully and dress accordingly.

  29. Sustainability is the pitch at this specialty coffee shop on Beach Road, where the beans are sourced with intention and the pour-overs are treated as a project worth slowing down for. The space is modern and airy enough that laptops outnumber newspapers, which suits the mid-morning crowd just fine. Cold brew sits alongside the filter options for those who want their coffee commitment without the ceremony.

  30. Rank 31. Bar Stories

    Cocktail Bar

    There's no menu at this compact cocktail bar tucked into a Haji Lane shophouse, just a conversation with whoever's behind the bar. You describe a mood or a flavor and they build something around it, often with fresh fruit pounded to order, which is why the wait can stretch. The retro furniture downstairs drifts upstairs, giving the room a faded, unhurried charm that sits a little awkwardly with how in-demand the place clearly is.


Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
