From more affordable options for the budget-conscious to lavish ones for the splurgers, there are tons of opportunities to experience Singapore’s renowned fine dining scene. Say you want to celebrate a special occasion with a loved one. Or maybe you want to treat your parents for all the hard work they’ve put in over the years. Or maybe you just really need to impress that first date. Have no fear — no matter how much money’s burning a hole in your pocket, there are tons of opportunities to help yourself and your loved ones to some of the best fine dining restaurants in Singapore.

The family behind Shashlik Restaurant has been a mainstay in Singapore’s fine dining scene since 1963. Formerly known as Troika Restaurant, the founder and his sons reimagined recipes and cooking techniques by Russian chef Mamochka Liber to the delight of many heads of state, business leaders, and VIPs.

Now, you can enjoy this historic restaurant’s unique Hainanese-Russian cuisine with set meals that cost no more than $30 per diner. These set meals come with a soup of the day, a beverage, and a main of your choice, ranging from familiar favourites like Fish ‘N Chips to a 36-hour slow braised Oxtail Stew that’s rich with flavour in every bite.

To sweeten up your palate, splash out an extra $25 and be wowed by the Baked Alaska. The meringue lining the cake is flambéed at your table to give it a nice browning and heighten the textural contrast between the hot exterior and ice cream-filled interior.

In response to the spate of rising costs, many fancy restaurants have taken to offering more affordable tasting menus to retain their clientele. This means that you don’t always have to pay fine dining prices to eat fine dining.

Among the restaurants taking this approach is the Japanese fusion restaurant Nouri. For $82, you can get a hearty and tasty lunch menu that is refreshed every week. The last one we sat down for consisted of Cantabrian Turbot, a fish dish with a delicate and mild flavour, which is usually priced a lot higher.

Yew Eng Tong has one of Singapore’s most decorated culinary resumes. He’s represented Singapore in the Culinary Olympics and the reputable Bocuse d’Or, among other achievements. And now, he’s taken the reins of Alma from celebrity chef Juan Amador. The one Michelin-starred restaurant specialises in European cuisine with Asian accents and sports an ever-changing series of multi-course menus cooked with seasonal ingredients.

At the moment, Alma’s 4-course lunch set, priced at $78, comes with Yukimuro Snow-Aged Wagyu as the main. This variation of Wagyu beef is aged in a snow-covered room to give it a sweeter taste and crisper texture than its conventional refrigerator-aged counterpart.

Odette has been making waves ever since its opening in 2015. It has bagged 3 Michelin Stars and a spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. From the moment you step in, it’s not hard to see why — the restaurant is on the National Gallery’s first floor, so you’re in for both a culinary and visual treat.

A meal here will cost you somewhere around $348, and for your money you’ll be in for a delicately crafted ensemble of French cuisine with hints of Asia sprinkled throughout. We really recommend dining there when their signature Normandy Brown Crab is in rotation. Sourced directly from France, it’s gently steamed and served with ingredients from Asia to produce a subtle yet complex flavour that is emblematic of the restaurant’s name in the fine dining scene.

When it comes to fine dining restaurants in Singapore, Hazuki has to be on your list. Dinners at this restaurant are tightly curated, 3-hour experiences that begin in its holding bar that’s decked out in Gucci, and end in the intimate dining theatre. The restaurant only seats 12, and every part of the experience screams refinement — from the elegant Kagami crystalware to rare ingredients sourced from Japan’s finest providers.

Their meals change with the seasons, but expect to pay anywhere between $200 to $400 per person for 9 courses of Omakase made with wild-caught fish, A5 Wagyu sirloin, and heritage Kyoto miso.
