Forget the usual spots you dine at—in February 2026, there’s a bunch of new places to check out: cheap Korean food and a traditional bakery are just some of what you can anticipate. Here’s our list of the best new restaurants and cafes in February 2026 for a casual dinner or a midday pick-me-up.
Kimpson’s Table is a pop-up Korean eatery in Clarke Quay, running until 13 March 2026. It’s part of Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central, an initiative by Far East Organisation for home-based and private-dining chefs to run a full-fledged, albeit temporary, restaurant. Everything is priced under $15 here, and the menu features home-style food that’s simple yet hearty and tasty.
Our favourite was the Authentic Ginseng Chicken Set ($15), a comforting ginseng chicken broth. It features a clear broth and a whole chicken stuffed with glutinous rice, dates, ginseng, and garlic. For something punchier, get the Boneless Chicken ($14) served in a basket of six pieces. This was one of the better Korean fried chickens we had in Singapore, and we even got to choose from three flavours: original, sweet and spicy (+$1), and bburinkle cheese (+$2).

Dona Manis Cake Shop, one of the oldest bakeries in Singapore, recently opened Dona Manis Heritage Bakehouse at East Coast Road. Unlike the OG outlet at Katong Shopping Centre, which operates as a takeaway kiosk, the newly opened cafe has dine-in seats to enjoy the famous old-school banana pie on the spot.
You must try the handmade Original Banana Pie ($4.50), featuring a buttery crust and flaky pastry rim topped with roasted almonds. The best part is the filling—think creamy bananas and freshly grated coconut. There’s also the Chocolate Banana Pie ($4.50) for something sweeter, or the Apple Crumble ($8), a perfect harmony of tart apples and warm spices. P.S. Dona Manis Heritage Bakehouse is a seven-minute walk from Marine Parade MRT Station.

In this economy, good and cheap Japanese food can be quite hard to come by. But that’s not the case at SORU Handroll, a new eatery at ICON Link@ClubStreet in Telok Ayer, offering Japanese handrolls from just $3.60+.
Their handrolls can be bought individually, but for the best deal, we recommend buying them in a set of three for $10.90, which comes to $3.63 per roll. Our top pick was the Aburi Engawa Shoyu ($5.90), featuring silky, fatty engawa torched with a savoury shoyu glaze, topped with togarashi powder, fresh chives, and takuan slices, AKA sweet-tangy pickled radish. We also loved the Spicy Salmon Crunch ($4), packed with chunky salmon pieces then slathered with spicy mayo, before finished with chives and a crunchy furikake blend.

New at Hougang Mall is Kyoto Onimaru, a takeaway kiosk that sells onigiri in over 15 variations. Most rice balls are affordably priced under $4, but there are a few exceptions that are slightly pricier.
The Salted Kelp and Edamame ($2.30) is likely to appeal to most diners, as the umami-rich rice ball offers a simple, approachable flavour profile without any polarising ingredients. If mentaiko is your thing, opt for the Mentaiko Tuna Mayonnaise ($2.90), made with flaky tuna and a dollop of mentaiko sauce. Alternatively, consider the Chicken Tartare Tempura ($4.90) or Grilled Eel with Shichimi ($6.50) for something that will fill you up in no time.

While the opening of a new Cat & The Fiddle store might not seem special, its new Tampines 1 outlet features something the brand has never offered before. Now, fans can purchase a bake-to-order Basque Cheesecake ($19.90), featuring a molten cheese core paired with a caramelised exterior. The brand recommends several ways to elevate your cheesecake experience, such as pairing it with extra condiments—crackers, ice cream, or the newly released Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies ($4.50).
The new cafe also serves a range of Schiacciata sandwiches ($15.90 each), available exclusively at the new outlets in four flavours: Turkey Ham, Honey Baked Chicken Ham, Beef Pastrami, and Smoked Salmon. Each sandwich is generously loaded with greens, a protein of your choice, and cheese, offering a savoury alternative to the brand’s signature sweet treats.

Amid the influx of Chinese bubble tea brands and hotpot restaurants in Singapore, it’s easy for a bakery to be overlooked, but RUXU’s fresh bakes are not to be missed. Situated at Funan Mall in City Hall, the bakery offers close to 30 varieties of bread, alongside other desserts and snow ice bowls, making it easy to find something for every sweet craving.
Our top pick was the Caramel Egg Tart ($2.80), also available as a bundle of four at just $2.10 per piece. Featuring a hand-rolled puff pastry exterior and a rich, eggy interior, it stakes its claim as one of the best egg tarts in Singapore. Other bread options, such as the Butter-Fried “Saa Jung” Twist ($2.80) and the Cacao Rich Dark Chocolate Ganache Bun ($3.50), were equally delectable. Those with a sweet tooth can opt for the Fresh Milk Ultimate-Mix ($8.90) instead, a loaded dessert bowl topped with an assortment of treats.

This one’s for nasi lemak fans: Tanglin Cookhouse recently birthed Lemak & Co., an a la carte nasi lemak buffet priced at just $29.90++. The new restaurant is at Tanglin Mall, and the buffet takes place from Mondays to Wednesdays, with a dining limit of 90 minutes.
Since it’s a nasi lemak buffet, you must try a plate—or however much you want—of Tumeric Coconut Rice: coconut rice spiked with turmeric, paired with sweet-spicy sambal, crispy ikan bilis, roasted peanuts, a sunny-side-up egg, and cucumber. Alternatively, the Ayam Goreng Berempah is an equally delicious choice, featuring boneless chicken thigh and fragrant rempah. These are not all to the buffet, as there are plenty of dishes to feast on: Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce & Condiments, Emping Chips with Sambal Belachan, White Rojak Quinoa Salad and more.

Hong Kong-famous Bari Bari Steak recently opened its first Singapore outpost at Tampines One, where you can try teppan-style steaks served on hot stones at wallet-friendly prices. The best part is that all teppan sets grant access to a free-flow salad bar, which you can also get a la carte for $12.90++ per adult and $6.90++ per child.
Get the Australian Flank Steak Teppan ($22.90++ for 160g, $24.90++ for 200g) for a taste of the brand’s signature. We liked that it was fork-tender in the middle and beefy enough to enjoy the meaty juice despite its lean cut. Steaks aside, there’s a handful of donburi rice bowls here, and we tried the Premium Buta Don ($16.90++): grilled chestnut pork loin and shimeji mushrooms atop a bed of rice. Overall, the value-for-money teppan sets make Bari Bari Steak a great addition to the East!

Joining the list of famous Chinese food brand openings in Singapore is More Yogurt at Suntec City. It’s dubbed the giant of yoghurt drink chains in China, where shakes and desserts are made with naturally fermented yoghurt and farm-fresh fruits instead of the usual syrups and sweeteners.
The Almond Avocado Yogurt Shake ($8.90) is the brand’s bestseller, featuring a creamy, velvety smooth shake that blends fresh avocado and crunchy almonds. Otherwise, try the Singapore-exclusive Pandan Cendol Yogurt Shake ($6.90), a concoction of pandan juice, gula melaka, yoghurt, cendol noodles, nata de coco cubes, and sweet mango. There are desserts too, including the Matcha Mango Chocolate Crunch Bowl ($7.90) with a layer of mango chunks within the thick matcha yoghurt and chocolate shell.

ICYMI: SIDES, opened by the famous UK YouTube group the Sidemen, opened its first outlet at Bugis+ in 2025. If you’re a fan, good news: a second outlet at Resort World Sentosa’s WEAVE mall is in the works, with the official opening date yet to be determined.
We’re confident the Classic Burger ($12.50) will be at the newest outlet, featuring a stack of thick chicken patty, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a sauce of your choice. You can look forward to trying the Ultimate Nashville Burger ($12.90) too, which lets diners customise the spice level across four options: Classic, Mild, Medium, and Hot. Pair your burgers with some Waffle Fries (from $5.50) or Nashville Tenders (from $10.50), alongside any of the nine condiments, including Chipotle, Garlic Mayo, and Buttermilk Ranch.
