Situated along the Singapore River, Robertson Quay is typically known as the more laid-back sibling to party centrals Clarke Quay and Boat Quay. The relatively relaxing district, which is near the once-popular Mohammed Sultan Road, has its charms too, with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars to chill, sit down, and have a glass of wine over a good meal. If you’re thinking of what to eat or drink when you’re near the area, then here’s a list of 15 restaurants at Robertson Quay to check out!

Hailing from Japan, Unagiya Ichinoji has well over a century’s worth of history before opening their store at Village Residence Robertson Quay. The restaurant’s expertise is in sweet and tender unagi that are freshly kept in the store. The classic option is the Unagi Hitsumabushi ($28.80++ for small, $34.80++ for medium, and $39.80++ for large), which gives you a serving of freshly grilled eel on Hokkaido rice. For those appetites and even beefier wallets, there’s the Mega Unagi Hitsumabushi ($88.80++) with three entire eels laid on a giant bed of rice. It’s probably best to split this gigantic meal between a couple of unagi-loving friends. Otherwise, there is also Wagyu Jyu ($58.80++) and Salmon and Salmon Roe Jyu ($26.80++), which are worth a try!
