1. Absurdities
Where? Asylum Coffeehouse, 311 Jln Besar, Singapore 208970
What? Absurdities offers a truly surreal and immersive dining experience. Diners journey from room to room, with each space unveiling whimsical dishes and interactive performances that add to the eccentric charm (no spoilers here!). Perfect for adventurous foodies seeking a one-of-a-kind night out, though be prepared for a higher price tag and bold flavours that may not suit everyone.
2. Platform 1094
Where? 1094 Serangoon Road, Singapore 328192
What? A Harry Potter-inspired café where you can enjoy magical-themed drinks like the Goblet of Fire. While the atmosphere is fun and the menu creative, the decor was not as immersive as I was expecting. The food and drinks were pretty impressive though! A great stop for fans of the wizarding world!
3. The Dragon Chamber
Where? 2 Circular Road, Singapore 049358 (enter via a hidden fridge door)
What? This speakeasy-style restaurant surprises you from the start, with its entrance concealed behind a fridge door. Inside, neon lights and quirky décor create a mysterious vibe. It is known for its fusion Asian dishes and daring menu, including crocodile penis (though I wouldn’t recommend this!). I would however recommend the cheeseburger spring rolls!
4. Joji’s Diner
Where? 534 Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore 534549
What? Step into 1950s America at this retro-themed diner, complete with checkered floors and neon lights. The menu is simple but tasty, with American classics like pancakes and burgers that bring nostalgic vibes. A fun and fairly inexpensive night out!
5. Mama Diam
Where? 38 Prinsep Street, Singapore 188665 (hidden behind a retro shop façade)
What? A speakeasy restaurant that transitions from a humble shopfront into a glamorous interior with dim lights and bold colours. The creative fusion dishes are worth trying, but skip the mala fries unless you’re prepared for intense spice!
6. Royal Albatross
Where? Resorts World Sentosa, 8 Sentosa Gateway, 098269
What? A luxury dining experience aboard a tall ship, perfect for special occasions. Sail around Sentosa, enjoy a romantic dinner, and catch the Wings of Time fireworks from the deck (if you do the dinner cruise). While it’s pricey, the unique journey and fine dining make it unforgettable.
7. Sushi Airways
Where? 20A Baghdad Street, Singapore 199659
What? This airplane-themed sushi restaurant near Haji Lane is decorated to mimic an aircraft cabin. The sushi is fresh and enjoyable, but not the best in town. Great for pairing with drinks at the nearby lively nightlife spots.
8. Hortus
Where? Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953
What? Dining inside the Flower Dome offers a stunning setting for Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The vibrant flavors complement the breathtaking surroundings, but expect to pay a premium for the experience.
9. The Bank
Where? 46 Craig Road, Singapore 089684 (hidden behind an ATM machine)
What? Tucked away behind a cleverly disguised ATM machine. The menu focuses on tasty no-frills burgers, milkshakes and classic cocktails, making it an ideal spot for a laid-back yet unique night out. While it’s worth a visit for the secrecy, burger lovers might prefer alternatives (like Black Tap – see number 14) for a more indulgent experience.
10. Nox – Dine in the Dark
Where? 83 Club St, Singapore 069451
What? This one-of-a-kind dining experience plunges you into complete darkness, with dishes served by blind or visually impaired waiters. You’ll have to rely on your senses to identify what you’re eating—an eye-opening and humbling experience everyone should try atleast once. Highly recommend it!
11. Café Monochrome
Where? 25 Trengganu Street #01-12 (Along Smith Street Side) Singapore 058476
What? This black-and-white, 2D-style café is an Instagrammer’s dream, designed to make you feel like you’re in a comic book. While the food isn’t anything special, the unique aesthetic makes it worth a visit.
12. Lagnaa Barefoot Dining
Where? 6 Upper Dickson Road, Singapore 207466
What? Take off your shoes and sit on the floor at this cozy Indian restaurant. Known for its spice-level challenges, it’s a fun and flavourful spot to celebrate occasions like Diwali (or Valentine’s!).
13. Cable Car Sky Dining
Where? Mount Faber Line, Singapore Cable Car
What? Experience Singapore from a new height with Cable Car Sky Dining, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views while dining inside a cable car. Choose between a luxurious fine dining experience or a casual bento box for a more laid-back vibe. It’s a perfect romantic option, especially at dusk, as the city lights twinkle below. After your meal, head for a drink at Arbora, one of the bars located at the peak.
14. Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer
Where? The Shoppes, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956
What? Known for its jaw-dropping CrazyShakes, Black Tap serves up Instagram-worthy milkshakes loaded with toppings like sprinkles, cotton candy, and even entire slices of cake. These decadent treats are perfect for sharing with your loved one, especially if you also want to squeeze in one of their mouthwatering burgers—which I highly recommend! Come hungry!
