Best romantic restaurants in Singapore
Monti
Love yourself a good waterfront restaurant? Monti is an absolute stunner for a memorable couple’s night out, thanks to its stylish dome-shaped pavilion space situated in Marina Bay. Cosy up to your partner in between bites of Italian-Tuscan cuisine, then head up to the open-air rooftop terrace for alfresco views and cocktails after you’re done with dinner. If you’re more of a weekend brunch person, plan a daytime date to savour all-you-can-eat plates of house-made pasta, steak, tiramisu and free-flow drinks.
Monti, 82 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049327
Sabio by the Sea
This gorgeous Spanish concept is an open-air delight. It’s spacious, airy and laidback – everything you need for a relaxing evening. As you dine on grilled meats and seafood, as well as hot and cold tapas plates, you’ll be treated to spectacular waterfront views. Pro tip: it’s best experienced in the evening when the night sky sparkles with stars. Plus, you can always walk off the meal with a stroll down the boardwalk. Best of all, it’s located in the picturesque Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove. This one-of-a-kind marina-front dining destination is perfect for romantic dates and vacay vibes. With its array of Italian, Mediterranean and Asian restos, panoramic views and retail spots, there’s no better place to celebrate special occasions. Psst: there’s free island admission to Sentosa till the end of March!
Sabio by the Sea, #01-02, Quayside Isle, 31 Ocean Way, Singapore 098375
Euphoria
What’s gastro-botanica, you ask? It’s essentially the brainchild of chef Jason Tan (formerly from Corner House). Here, he elevates the vegetable-forward cuisine by taking inspiration from French culinary techniques and introducing essences. Dining in this lush, sophisticated space is an experience in itself – everything is delicately plated and tastes as exquisite as it looks. For the full Euphoria experience, we say go for the wine pairings to round out your meal.
Euphoria, 76 Tras Street, Singapore 079015
French Fold
A beautiful concept by the folks behind Merci Marcel, French Fold is a chic space with pockets of greenery. Whether you’re popping by with your boo for breakfast, brunch or dinner, you’ll find delish galettes and crepes on the menu. The former is made of buckwheat flour and comes with everything from chorizo and sunny side up to satay chicken. Meanwhile, the latter is made from wheat flour and goes the sweet route with homemade salted caramel, Valrhona chocolate and the like. Don’t forget coffee or cocktails to complete your meal!
French Fold, 204 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068640

The Summerhouse
Dinner in a dome? It’s the coolest, cosiest way to dine. The Summerhouse’s garden domes dial up the romance. They’re all about keeping cool while enjoying a languid lunch in a sunny garden or, even better, dinner under the stars. Amongst the wild strawberries, swaying lemongrass and twinkling lights are those igloos nestling up to eight guests. You can chill at the one by Wildseed Garden Bar, or settle in amongst the resto’s edible garden for something more intimate.

A grand historic building tucked away in the greenery of Telok Blangah Hill, this multi-concept dining concept houses casual haunt Wildseed Cafe, modern European hotspot Txa Gastrobar and classy resto Una. They’re all great for family hangouts and group gatherings, but Una is our fave pick for modern Spanish cuisine with a focus on the Basque region. The space is beautiful and refined, setting the scene nicely to welcome your table for two. Start with small plates before moving on to paella, grilled meats and desserts. There’s your date at one of the most romantic restaurants in Singapore, sorted.

Esquina
Nestled in a corner of Jiak Chuan Road, Esquina is a sensual Spanish resto offering small plates with big flavours. The industrial-chic joint serves up dishes like Spanish pork jowl, sea urchin paella and grilled octopus, but you’ll want to save room for drinks and desserts. There’s nothing quite like that warm feeling in your belly after an unforgivably luscious warm chocolate fondant, finished off with a glass of tart (verging on spicy) red wine.
