Best tiramisu in Singapore
Tiramisu is the quintessential Italian dolci (dessert). I can think of few better ways to close off a decadent, carb- and cheese-loaded Italian meal than with this airy medley of booze, coffee, and cream. What’s even better is that I don’t have to travel to Italy to get my fix of this dessert, given the lengthy list of eateries and cafes in Singapore that do a mean rendition.
Typically, tiramisu is made by layering savoiardi biscuits, AKA ladyfingers, dipped in a mixture of coffee and liqueur or fortified wine, with whipped mascarpone cream. Traditionally, the booze component is a marsala or an amaretto, but these days, you get anything from Baileys to vodka coming into play. Singapore’s tiramisu offerings also experiment widely with flavours, so expect to see unique twists including pumpkin spice, ispahan, and matcha flavoured desserts on this list.
1. The Tiramisu HeroÂ

The Tiramisu Hero is one of the earliest tiramisu-focused cafes in Singapore. It was established by two friends in 2012 to offer locals a variety of customisable tiramisu in a wide selection of flavours. Get the MommaHero Classic ($7.50) for your fix of traditional Italian ‘misu, or opt for alternatives infused with anything from lychee rose to kaya. They even have a Honey Soju ($9.50) option on the menu! Another great thing about The Tiramisu Hero is that their signature desserts come in cute jars, which make them great for gifting too.

You can get seven different types of tiramisu at this takeaway kiosk: Classico, Lychee, Matcha, Dark Cherry, Brulee, Pistachio, and Lavender Earl Grey. Each slice is priced from $7.20, and all have the characteristics of tiramisu, albeit with a unique cream infusion. Apart from the OG, not all of them have coffee, but instead, use teas as a soaking liquid for the ladyfingers. This is ideal if you’re not a big coffee fan.

Nesuto is home to a variety of French-Japanese bakes. While that makes the Italian Tiramisu a bit of an outlier, its flavour is consistent with the A-grade cakes and entremets Nesuto puts forth. Each is priced at $11.80 and served in a personal jar. Layers of creamy mascarpone and sponge are textured with a house-made dark chocolate crumb here. You also get a dropper with rum so you can tailor the amount of booze that goes into your dessert.

6. Bistecca Tuscan SteakhouseÂ
Come to Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse for their chargrilled Florentina steaks, but stay for their legit tiramisu. The mains here are rib-stickingly hearty, but the Tiramisu ($15++) is surprisingly light, despite all the mascarpone that it comes with. The medley of espresso and dark rum here truly shines, given extra depth with the generous dusting of bitter cocoa.

7. Da Paolo Gastronomia

One problem with having a ‘misu craving is that you’re often forced to dine in at restaurants or cafes so you can enjoy it as dessert. Not so at Da Paolo Gastronomia, which sells their Tiramisu ($17.90) in a tub to go. Each feeds two, and comes with savoiardi biscuits liberally soaked in espresso and marsala—a fortified Italian wine. If you prefer a single serving, get the dessert in a cup instead for $11.50.
