Go for their buffet; it’s their signature experience, and different courses are offered on different days. Staying true to Singapore’s maritime port roots, their seafood dinner buffet is offered every Friday and Saturday. Pair it off with a cocktail made by their own mixologist!

We recommend trying their Prix Fine Dinner, consisting of 12 dishes over three courses. With the strong focus on textures and tastes, your dining-in-the-dark experience is played up with your other four senses enhanced. Top up your meal with the Cocktail Tasting Option, where three cocktails are paired to a certain dish. See if you can guess the ingredients in the cocktails!

4. Matsuya (Omakase)
Omakase is an increasingly popular fine dining option as Singaporeans grow increasingly adventurous. In Japanese, omakase means “I’ll leave it to you”, and so the dining experience refers to the chef’s selection of dishes for the best experience.

Matsuya sushi bar offers a premium omakase option for diners, with fresh air-flown fish and a personal experience, as it’s made in front of you. A cosy place that accommodates only up to 48 diners, remember to make a reservation in advance. Sign up for Burpple Beyond to get a 1-for-1 deal on the omakase menus!

7. Odette
Odette’s vision has always been to honour artisanal and seasonal produce through bringing out the best in what they naturally offer.

Inspired by flora and fauna, their dishes include radish slices shaped into beautiful rosettes garnished with seasonal flower petals.

With two Michelin stars, we recommend trying their six-course menu and also a suitable wine pairing from their in-house sommeliers. Never over-the-top yet always delicious, Odette is a notable restaurant that deserves a visit.
