2 Best Restaurants in Singapore

This internationally-renowned modern Australian barbecue restaurant, run by chef Dave Pynt, is always booked up, so plan your visit in advance. Classics like the Burnt End’s Sanger (pulled pork sandwich) are a must-try. Since reservations can be tricky to come by, try to snag a space at the bar, which tends to be a little easier and still offers a substantial menu. Alongside the main dining room, the building on Dempsey Hill now houses a bakery, wine cellar, cocktail bar, and large private dining room. 

Mixing alfresco restaurant and seaside swimming pool, Stella is the first beachfront lounge along Tanah Merah Beach in the southeast of Changi, just a 10-minute drive from the airport. The brunch menu is big on sandwiches and toasts, grilled pork chops, and healthy breakfasts, while dinner is best for live seafood, charcoal grilled meats, and seafood-based pastas. The restaurant's sheltered alfresco dining area spills daybeds and sofa lounges over a cozy wooden seaside deck, where guests can lounge by the pool before or after their meals.
