Best eateries in Singapore 2025

Singapore’s food scene in 2025 has been packed with new openings and viral launches. To cut through the noise, the Eatbook team looked back at the restaurants, cafes, and stalls we personally visited throughout the year. This list of the 25 best eateries in Singapore in 2025 features food spots that are tried and approved by the Eatbook team. For reference, most of these eateries received a minimum rating of 8/10 on our site.

1. Liu San Jie Mee Hoon Kueh

2025 is the year when the term “hidden gem” died, but if there’s one eatery that deserves that title, Liu San Jie Mee Hoon Kueh would be it. Tucked inside a small coffeeshop in Toa Payoh’s industrial area, the stall dishes out excellent noodle dishes, including the Soup Signature Mee Hoon Kueh ($6): chewy hand-torn noodles, umami-filled broth, and loads of ingredients. If you prefer your noodles dry, opt for the Dry Mee Hoon Kueh with Hakka Fried Pork Belly ($7.30), which came with a side of crispy nanru pork belly.

From our Liu San Jie Mee Hoon Kueh review: “Chewy, irregular, and at just the right thickness, each piece of mee hoon kueh was a joy to eat. And they managed to retain that excellent texture, even as they soaked up all the flavours of the broth.”

2. Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST)

Pizza Studio Tamaki made headlines when it opened in Singapore with month-long full bookings, and for good reason. Helmed by Chef Ryosuke Tanahara, who was trained under founder Tsubasa Tamaki, this renowned Neapolitan spot is known for its bold, smoky wood-fired crusts. The signature Tamaki ($29++) pizza delivers intense char and aroma, while the fiery Arrabbiata ($30++) brings the heat with nduja, chilli flakes, and sweet Japanese garlic. Not all the pizzas here are great, but those that are exceptional are truly outstanding.

From our Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST) review: “You’d expect this freshly wood-fired pizza to have some charred notes, but here it was considerably pronounced. The result was a more inviting aroma, but also a more complex flavour—sometimes savoury, other times woody, and maybe even slightly bitter.”

Address: 38 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088461
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 12pm to 3:30pm, 5pm to 10pm, Fri Mon-Thurs 12pm to 3:30pm, 5pm to 11pm, Sat-Sun 12pm to 11pm

3. Kitchenman Nasi Lemak

This year, Kitchenman Nasi Lemak rose to food stardom after being awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. The eatery offers Malaysian-style nasi lemak such as the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Berempah Leg ($13.80), where fluffy coconut rice is accompanied by the likes of ikan bilis, roasted peanuts, cucumber, a sunny-side-up egg, sambal belachan, and fried chicken leg. While it doesn’t best the Malaysian greats such as Village Park Restaurant, it still does a solid job and is worth a shot for fans of nasi lemak.

From our Kitchenman Nasi Lemak review: “Flavour-wise, the rice was creamy and coconutty, and the fresh chicken leg was wonderfully succulent, with golden, crispy skin that crackled with every bite.”

Address: 2 Kallang Avenue, #01-08/13, CT Hub, Singapore 339407

4. Cheeky Signature’s

Cheeky Signature’s opened two new outlets this year, at Sim Lim Square and MacPherson Mall, and introduced several exciting new dishes. Highlights include the Sliced Fish with Minced Meat ($8.80), best enjoyed with silky kway teow and a flavourful broth, as well as a new Dry Mee Pok noodle option dressed in chilli and pork lard. While the noodles impress, their Cheeky Signature ($11.90) bee hoon soup, loaded with meatballs, minced pork, cabbage, and lala, remains the undisputed must-order.

From our Cheeky Signature’s review: “The most obvious thing that sets this apart from other bee hoon soup is the incredibly unique broth. There was a strong wok hei aroma permeating the soup, punctuated by peppery notes, umami, and the rich taste of pork bone stock.”

5. Liu Lang Mian

Liu Lang Mian may have been a cult classic for a few years now, but it was one of the favourite things we reviewed this year, so it deserves a spot on this list. The noodle bar is known for its Grilled Duck Chashu Soba ($14.50), served in a rich, smoky shoyu duck paitan broth with silky soba noodles. The Signature Chilli Mazesoba ($14.50) is just as compelling, combining wheat noodles, onsen egg, nori, and lor bak with chilli crunch and pork lard for a dry noodle dish full of depth and spice.

From our Liu Lang Mian review: “Liu Lang Mian serves exceptional noodle dishes made with a lot of thought and care. It’s now one of my favourite noodle spots in Singapore.”

Address: 321 Alexandra Road, #01-03, Alexandra Central Mall, Singapore 159971

6. Artichoke

Artichoke’s fun reboot as a retro pizzeria is one we didn’t expect, but loved. Moving away from the trending Neapolitan-style pizzas today, their new pizza recipes are playful, without being gimmicky, and are genuinely delicious, matching what many Singaporeans look for in a pizza: crispy pies loaded with bold and exciting local flavours. We recommend the Tropic Thunder Round ($32++), starring soft, tender slices of Parma ham, fresh jackfruit, ginger flower, and creamy burrata, topped with grated Pecorino, mint leaves, and a drizzle of honey. For sides, you won’t go wrong with the Super Crunchy Fried Chicken ($24++), paired with Chinatown Spice & Fried Peanuts!

From our Artichoke review: “Chef Bjorn delivered on his promise of creating a fun, dynamic pizza experience tailored to the Singaporean palate. While prices lean slightly high, Artichoke stands out for their bold, punchy flavours, and we think it’s worth a visit.”

Address: 46 Kim Yam Road, #01-02, New Bahru, Singapore 239531
Opening hours: Tue 5pm to 10pm, Wed 11am to 2:30pm, Thurs-Sun 11am to 10pm

7. Onori

Onori was another highlight this year. The new kiosk offers tasty handmade Japanese rolls made using fresh and premium ingredients. Coupled with the fact that rolls can cost as little as $3.58+ per piece, and the eatery’s central location, it’s an easy go-to with zero misses–that is, apart from the long queues! You can get their handrolls in sets of three, four, and five for $11.90+, $14.90+, and $17.90+, respectively.

From our Onori review: “The Snow Crab & Negitoro ($6.50+) was my personal favourite, stuffed generously with shio koji negitoro, AKA fatty tuna in a fermented marinade, shredded snow crab, cucumber slices, sake lees, and a refreshing sweet-tangy yuzu marmalade.”

Address: 135 Amoy Street, #01-03, Far East Square, Singapore 049964
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am to 2:30pm, 5pm to 8pm, Sat 11am to 3pm

8. Tsukimi Hamburg x Kichi Kichi Omurice

One of our 2025 highlights is trying the viral Kichi Kichi Omurice. The famous dish is now a permanent fixture at all Tsukimi Hamburg restaurants in Singapore, so you don’t have to take a plane just to get a taste of it. Order the Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice ($16.80++), which sees a bed of demi-glace Japanese fried rice, covered with an omelette, and topped with a hamburg steak.

From our Tsukimi Hamburg x Kichi Kichi Omurice review: “After having a taste, we can definitely say that Tsukimi Hamburg’s new Kichi Kichi Omurice is worth the hype. Their omurice not only filled us up, but tantalised our taste buds too—and all for under $20++!”

9. Haru-Haru

Housed in Shifu Food Court, a 24/7 food court at Bras Basah Complex, HARU-HARU Speciality in Mentaiko is a Japanese stall that impressed us with their affordable yet tasty mains. The stall is run by ex-izakaya head chef Yuki Haruyama, who serves up XL mentaiko pork katsu curry and more under $15. You won’t go wrong with the Mentai Pork Katsu Don ($9.90), a signature main starring an XL pork chop topped with housemade mentaiko mayo, atop a bowl of fluffy short-grain rice. The Premium Pork Katsu Curry ($14.90), which uses premium US pork loin, is equally delicious,paired with savoury Japanese curry.

From our Haru-Haru review: “Overall, their main dishes were tasty, wallet-friendly, and of generous portion sizes. Coupled with the central location, we definitely see ourselves coming back the next time we’re craving an affordable Japanese meal!”

Address: 231 Bain Street, Shifu Food Court, #01-79, Stall 4, Bras Basah Complex, Singapore 180231

10. Partage Patisserie

Headed by an award-winning pastry chef, Partage Patisserie was a sweet surprise this year, impressing us with their artisanal French pastries. The star is their petit gateau; their small sizes may look unassuming, but each item is thoughtfully crafted with premium ingredients, from the delicate sable tart bases to the house-made custard and creams layered within. You can buy the cakes individually at $9, or in sets of two and four for $17 and $32, respectively. Popular flavours include the Matcha Blossom Petit Gateau and, our favourite, the Rocher Petit Gateau: chocolate sponge, silky chocolate mousse and cream, crunchy hazelnut base, and caramel glaze.

From our Partage Patisserie review: “As someone with a sweet tooth, I was glad to discover Partage Patisserie near our office. This cute, cosy cafe along Cavan Road in Lavender offers handmade French pastries and cakes, from petit gateau to pain au chocolate.”

Address: 11 Cavan Road, #01-07, Cavan Suites, Singapore 209848
Opening hours: Tue, Thurs-Fri 8:30am to 6:30pm, Wed, Sat-Sun 8:30am to 4pm

11. Fortuna Terrazza

You won’t find a brunch cafe as vibrant and dynamic as Fortuna Terrazza, where it’s all about having fun while indulging in good cafe food. The new Italian cafe is run by the same team behind Fortuna Singapore; both eateries are located almost right next to each other in Tanjong Pagar. There are both sweet and savoury toast options here, and our favourite was the Buongiorno Toast ($26++): a sourdough slice with folded eggs covered in aromatic truffle mayonnaise, and topped with thick-cut maple-glazed bacon.

From our Fortuna Terrazza review: “I’ve been to my fair share of cafes in Singapore, but an Italian brunch cafe was a first. As a first-timer, I enjoyed everything that Fortuna Terrazza had to offer: their tasty offerings, friendly service, and flamboyant—but not flashy—ambience.”

Address: 10 Craig Road, Singapore 089670
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 11am to 3pm, Fri-Sun 10am to 3pm

12. Dragon Curry

If you love curry rice as much as we do, Dragon Curry at Golden Mile Food Centre is a worthy spot to check out. Each plate of Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice costs $5, and you can even use your CDC Vouchers here! We highly recommend the Red Beancurd Pork Belly Cutlet Curry Rice ($5.90), a bestselling item for a reason. The fermented red beancurd paste, which reminded us a little of har cheong gai, added a combination of salty and savoury flavours to the otherwise coconutty curry rice. It also comes with a lava egg or fried omelette of your choice—a fun twist to your usual fried egg.

From our Dragon Curry review: “The chicken cutlet was one of the crispiest ones I’ve had, maintaining a lovely crunch despite being drenched in curry. In short, what made the chicken cutlet here a winner was its crackling, crispy skin, and not so much the thickness or juiciness of the meat.”

Address: 505 Beach Road, #B1-01, Golden Mile Food Centre, Singapore 199583

13. MODU

Korean restaurants in Singapore are hard to impress, especially with so many new openings popping up across the island. But MODU, dubbed Singapore’s first samgyetang specialty restaurant, left a strong impression with its hearty, comforting ginseng chicken broths. There are plenty of flavours to choose from, but we’d say it’s best to stick to the simplest: the Collagen Herbal ($35++) or Hangover ($37++). Each chicken comes stuffed with nourishing ingredients, such as leek, dates, chives, pine nuts, and ginseng root. The best part, though, is the soft, chewy glutinous rice that pairs well with the piping hot soup.

From our MODU review: “I usually prefer my samgyetang non-spicy, but the Hangover option at MODU was incredibly delicious. The soup is made with a secret spicy sauce, which boasts pronounced notes of chilli powder and minced garlic, which I didn’t get in the Collagen Herbal soup.”

14. Dip Fried Chicken

The Bukit Merah neighbourhood is one of our favourites—there’s Rookie’s Coffee Shop and the cosy Casual Poet Library right next door. Recently, another neighbourhood gem, Dip Fried Chicken, found a home at Alexandra Village Food Centre. The new stall offers a 2 Pc Meal ($7.80), which comes with crispy fried chicken, flavour-packed rice, sauce, and coleslaw. Everything is house-made here, including the Sour Cream & Onion and Hainanese Chilli sauces. Both were incredibly delicious; the former boasted a mix of sweet and tart flavours, while the latter was slightly punchy. We also liked how the chicken was fried and served fresh upon order!

From our Dip Fried Chicken review: “Despite being fairly new to the scene, Dip Fried Chicken has been getting a lot of customers and delivery orders—and I can see why. The offerings are not the cheapest you can get at a hawker centre, but given how fresh and tasty every component of my meal was, I’d revisit the stall if I were in the area.”

15. Bateel

Dubai chocolate isn’t the only sweet treat done right, and Bateel’s Dubai-famous organic dates are proof of this. This popular gourmet date brand is found in the basement of Takashimaya Shopping Centre, where you can try seven types of dates with different flavours and textures. Highlights include pistachio-stuffed dates, which are chewy with a satisfying crunch, as well as candied options for added sweetness. Prices vary depending on the selection, and you can mix and match to try a little of everything. Bateel’s dates also make a thoughtful gift, whether for the holiday season or for Muslim friends during Suhur.

From our Bateel review: “Starting with my favourite of the lot, I really liked the macadamia-stuffed khola dates. These dates boasted a distinct caramel flavour, which paired wonderfully with the nutty filling; they were just the right amount of chewiness without being too tough or leathery.”

Address: 391 Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City, Takashimaya Food Hall, Singapore 238873

16. Kikanbo

Great ramen broth is difficult to find in Singapore, and Kikanbo’s miso broth is certainly high up on the rankings. It’s extremely rich and flavourful—even when you don’t order a high spice level. The pork belly here is also otherworldly, coming in huge slabs and possessing tender meat with a high, buttery fat content. A failsafe order is the Niku-Niku Karashibi Miso Ramen ($22.90), which comes with two hefty slabs of pork belly, springy, thick noodles, grilled corn, and of course, the brand’s signature fiery broth. If you want something lighter, consider the Pakuchi Karashibi Miso Ramen ($17.90), featuring a heap of coriander atop the regular Karashibi Miso Ramen.

From our Kikanbo review: “We absolutely loved the huge pork belly chunks, being just melt-in-your-mouth tender: soft and delectable with meat that just falls apart so easily, enhanced by its savoury-sweet braising marinade.”

17. Udon Shin

The Carbonara Udon ($24++) at Udon Shin is simply described with one word: decadence. The parmesan cheese, egg, and dashi mix to form a creamy, silky coating for the thick udon, making each slurp rich and cheesy. The titanic piece of bacon tempura is also a sinful indulgence—a light and fluffy tempura exterior contrasts with the fatty meat within. In case you didn’t know, Udon Shin is a famous handmade udon joint that’s been known to draw three-hour queues at its Tokyo flagship. They’ve recently opened their very first international outlet at Takashimaya!

From our Udon Shin review: “As big Japanese food fans, we think that Udon Shin’s dishes are top-tier, offering a mix of both benevolent classics and innovative entries. While they might be more punchy and stronger than other traditionally lighter udon spots, the restaurant’s hype is justified and is very much worth a visit.”

18. Bac Viet

If your only encounter with Vietnamese cuisine is pho, banh mi, and spring rolls, Bac Viet’s noodle dishes will blow you away. The Banh Da Cua ($14.90) is a must-try. Its crab-forward broth is paired with Hai Phong’s signature red rice noodles, creating a satisfying mix of earthy and briny flavours. The bowl is packed with a wealth of goodies, such as large tiger prawns and pork wrapped in lalot leaves. Bac Viet serves up a variety of other dishes, too, including Bun Cha ($10.90): grilled pork meatballs and belly slices soaked in a light fish-sauce-based broth, with rice vermicelli on the side.

From our Bac Viet review: “My friends all know that I am a huge Vietnamese food aficionado, so believe me when I say that Bac Viet serves up some of the most authentic and tasty Vietnamese fare in the country.”

Address: 412 Bedok North Avenue 2, #01-122, Singapore 460412

19. Soft Spot

Soft Spot is a viral acai soft serve store from Bangkok that has made its first international debut here in Singapore! Their acai and froyo are noticeably lighter than other spots without sacrificing their flavours, thanks to zero added sugars. Their signature creations come in three sizes: Medium ($9.40), Bowl ($11), and Large Bowl ($14). You can pick your soft serve base, which includes acai, Biscoff Greek froyo, or a swirl, which fuses the two. The toppings here are no slouch either: Softspot for Love features their viral pistachio butter sauce, but we particularly loved the Softspot for Cookies, which is drizzled with Biscoff butter and topped with Biscoff and Digestive crumbs.

From our Soft Spot review: “As Biscoff fans, we also enjoyed their Softspot For Cookies considerably, which includes a drizzle of Biscoff butter, Biscoff and Digestive crumbs, strawberries, and granola. Unsurprisingly, it went very well with the Biscoff Greek yoghurt as a soft serve base.”

Address: 2 Fowlie Road, #01-16, Singapore 428505

20. 5:59+ Cafe and Bistro

5:59+ Cafe and Bistro is a popular panda-themed Western dining concept from Chengdu that recently made its first international debut in Singapore at 313@Somerset. We loved the Mala Hotpot Pizza ($27++) here, which was extremely reminiscent of the mala xiang guo that we all know and love. The Mala Beef Tongue ($26++) was also soft and velvety, accompanied by a peppery-sweet Sichuan sauce and spices, while the recommended Sichuan Pepper Steak ($39++) went exceptionally well with the crushed Sichuan peppers and seasoning.

From our 5:59+ Cafe and Bistro review: “The Carbonara ($25++) may sound simple, but it was topped with a bright green chilli paste that lent a spicy kick. The thick fettuccine served as a fitting vessel to soak up the creamy sauce, and the bacon bits had an enjoyable savoriness that complemented the spiciness of the green chilli.”

Address: 313 Orchard Road, #01-28, 313@Somerset, Singapore 238895

21. Shin Katsu

Shin Katsu is a new tonkatsu speciality restaurant headed by Chef Matsubayashi Masato, the former Head Chef of Ma Maison. The focus is on premium pork cuts sourced from around the world and handpicked by Chef Masato, including the Mangalica from Hungary, nicknamed the “Kobe beef of pork” for its beautiful marbling. If you only have room for one dish, order the Mangalica Rosu Katsu Set ($42.90++): 160g of Mangalica pork cutlet is joined with free-flow sides—rice, miso soup, cabbage, and house-made pickles. The cut had a natural sweetness to it, without any unpleasant porky aftertaste. Alternatively, the Mille-Feuille Black Truffle Katsu Set ($37.80++) impresses; the delicate layers of pork are wrapped around a black truffle centre, encased in the restaurant’s signature breadcrumb coating.

From our Shin Katsu review: “Shin Katsu is a must-visit for anyone who loves tonkatsu—or anything crispy and deep-fried. While it’s not the cheapest spot in town, given its CBD location and premium ingredients, I think it’s worth the occasional splurge.”

Address: 84/86 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088505

22. Paparch

Dessert fans have a new spot to check out: Paparch. The homegrown brand, which gained online fame for its artisanal burnt cheesecakes during the COVID-19 circuit breaker, has set up a brick-and-mortar stall along Arab Street! Flavours rotate regularly, with the Original ($8.80) remaining a permanent fixture. Flavoured cheesecakes go for $9.80 each. As ondeh ondeh fans, we enjoyed the new Ondeh Ondeh cheesecake, packed with a gula melaka lava core. The Miso Caramel is another must-try, featuring a deep umami from the miso and rich sweetness from the caramel.

From our Paparch review: “Paparch’s burnt cheesecakes feature a charred top and a rich, dense filling, with an almost molten centre that oozes out when sliced. The plain flavour was perfectly creamy and indulgent, but not too sweet.”

23. Yo-Chi Singapore

Cult favourite froyo brand Yo-Chi has arrived on our shores! The new dessert cafe sits on the ground floor of Orchard Central, directly connected to Somerset MRT Station. You can choose from a whopping 10 flavours here, ranging from Matcha and Salted Butterscotch to Signature Tart and Acai. Made from real Australian milk, these creamy froyos are said to be low in calories, 98% fat-free, and packed with probiotics. Note that each bowl is priced by weight: $3.50 per 100g. During our visit, our two bowls amounted to 778g in total, so the damage was $27.24.

From our Yo-Chi review: “Out of the four flavours we tried, Salted Butterscotch was our unanimous favourite. It struck the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with a rich, buttery undertone. It also paired well with the Matcha flavour, which wasn’t overly grassy or earthy—more like Thai green milk tea, but less floral.”

24. Pierre Herme Singapore

Dessert fans, take note. The world-famous pastry chef Pierre Herme has opened his largest flagship store right here in Singapore, at Weave in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). The dine-in menu is super extensive, ranging from savoury sandwiches to the brand’s signature macarons and dainty entremets. There are always 19 macaron flavours to choose from, including these classics: Infiniment Chocolat Paineiras, a Brazilian single-origin dark chocolate, Infiniment Praline Noisette, where noisette is hazelnut, and Infiniment Praline Pistache AKA pistachio. You can also get atas “bubble tea” here, with three flavours to choose from: Ispahan, Jardin de Pierre, and Matcha Cappuccino, each priced at $9!

From our Pierre Herme review: “Tarte Infiniment Vanille ($9): so light, so creamy, yet packing a whole lot of vanilla punch. There’s vanilla mascarpone cream, vanilla ganache, vanilla glaze, and that’s still not the end of it, because there’s also vanilla powder. You might find yourself a convert, even if you don’t like vanilla.”

25. Pawa Bakery

If you love bread as much as we do, you have to check out Pawa Bakery for their delicious shio pan, also known as salt bread. These buttery buns were ranked top on our shio pan listicle, so you know they’re legit! The popular bakery has outlets in Raffles Place and The Star Vista, and also offers fresh bagels and bread loaves. Highlights include the Garlic Cream Cheese Bagel ($3.80), slathered with garlic butter and filled with cream cheese, as well as the Matcha Red Bean Mochi Bagel ($3.80).

From our Pawa Bakery review: “Pawa Bakery’s plain Shio Pan ($2.30) came with a beautiful golden-brown butter bottom, giving way to a crumb that was way lighter and fluffier than other bakeries. Each shio pan is made with Japanese bread flour, Anchor salted butter, and sea salt, so there’s good flavour in each bite.”
