2. Privé @ Keppel Bay

I love Keppel Bay. It’s the best place to chill out, have a drink & some nice cakes with your loved ones or your besties. It wasn’t very crowded the last time i went there since not many knew about that place, but i’m not sure about now. There are many seats available, so no worries! you’ll definitely get a table.

3. Graze at Rochester Park

Graze is located in an old colonial-style black and white bungalow in Rochester Park. It is homestyle dining in a contemporary space and it gives off an old-age aura of a relaxing and unhurried world. The place is so quiet that you need to whisper to each other when you talk. Graze serves australian cuisine! 🙂

4. Flutes At The Fort

Flutes at the Fort is a hidden treasure located in the heart of the city near Fort Canning, yet hidden away from the bustling city. The building is built back in 1908, in a black and white colonial bungalow served as the Old Fire Chiefs’ home. Flutes at the Fort has a natural unspoiled charm. very old skool indeed.

One thing i like about this place is its originality and that it isn’t as well known as other places such as Spruce, Rider’s Cafe and Epicurious so it’s not as hyped up.

You can actually choose between the air-conditioned indoors, the sheltered veranda, or the totally open garden deck. For me personally, i’d prefer the garden deck, for the teak wood floors and the scenery showcase the tropical nature at its best.

5. Halia at Botanical Gardens

Halia is located deep inside Botanical Gardens’, a perfect getaway for a romantic night out. I was so taken by it! Halia is located just at the edge of the Ginger Garden, beside the National Orchid Garden. The restaurant is known for its european-fused-with-asian cuisine.

6 Mimo Kitchen & Bar

How does ‘All-day brunch’ surrounded by lush greenery and countryside serenity sound to you? If you are a lover of awesome brunch and beautiful ambience, then mimo’s the place. Formerly ‘Mimolette’, this cafe is located next to a saddle club at Fairways drive. This is a great place for brunch and it’s away from the city, so it’ll be good if you’re looking for a relaxing date with your valentine. Of course, the location might be a problem if you don’t have a car. There’s another outlet which is in Ion Orchard.
